Origins of Teac

TEAC Corporation, a manufacturer of audio equipment including turntables, was founded in 1953 as the Tokyo Television Acoustic Company by Katsuma and Tomoma Tani. In 1956, the company’s name changed to Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company. The two firms merged in 1964 to form TEAC Corporation. TEAC’s first original production model, the TD-102, was introduced in April 1957. The company has since been known for producing high-quality audio equipment, including turntables, and continues to innovate in the field of audio technology.
