Since its establishment in 1953 by renowned audio engineer Katsuma Tani, TEAC has strived to deliver exceptional sound to music enthusiasts. From the invention of the world's first slow-motion video recorder used at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 to the recording of R2-D2's voice for the first Star Wars movie in 1977, TEAC has continuously pushed the boundaries of audio technology. Even today, our goal remains unchanged - to accurately record and reproduce the original sound, faithfully capturing the musician's performance and the engineer's intentions. Throughout our history and through the ever-changing landscape of media, TEAC's commitment to creating high-quality audio products for music lovers has never wavered.
