Onkyo: A History of Audio Excellence

Onkyo, a Japanese company founded in 1946, has been a leading innovator in the world of audio products for over seven decades. Its name, derived from the Japanese word "on" (sound) and "kyo" (harmony), reflects the company's commitment to producing high-quality audio equipment that delivers a harmonious and immersive listening experience.

The Early Years

Onkyo's journey began when its founder, Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K., established the company in post-war Japan. Initially, Onkyo focused on manufacturing phonograph pickups, which were essential components in record players. Their dedication to quality and innovation quickly earned them a reputation as a top producer of audio equipment.

Expanding the Product Line

In the 1950s and 1960s, Onkyo expanded its product line to include amplifiers, tuners, and speakers. The company's commitment to research and development led to the creation of many ground-breaking technologies, such as the first-ever Japanese-made stereo amplifier with separate pre-amplifier and power amplifier sections.

The Home Theatre Revolution

The 1970s and 1980s saw Onkyo's continued growth as they ventured into the realm of home theatre systems. They introduced the first fully digital audio/video receiver in 1985, which allowed users to enjoy high-quality audio and video in a single, integrated system. This innovation laid the groundwork for the modern home theater experience.

Pioneering Surround Sound

Onkyo played a significant role in the development of surround sound technology, which revolutionized the way people experience movies and music. In 1994, the company introduced the world's first THX-certified audio/video receiver, which delivered cinema-quality sound in the comfort of one's home. Onkyo continued to push the boundaries of surround sound, adopting cutting-edge formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Merging with Pioneer

In 2015, Onkyo took a major step towards solidifying its position in the audio industry by merging with Pioneer, another renowned Japanese audio manufacturer. The merger allowed both companies to leverage their combined expertise and resources to develop innovate Home Theatre Systems products for the global market.
