Trio Intergrated Amplifer KA-1500 MK2 (Cica:1976) Pt 1. of 2.

Hi friends, This video I about my Trio Integrated Amplifier which I bought on ebay Part 1 of 2. History: In 1985, Trio-Kenwood introduced the first satellite receiving system, which brought significant attention to the company's research in advanced electronics technology. During the same year, company engineers designed and produced a new VIG-DLD circuit; the first car audio speaker to employ a honeycombed linear plane diaphragm in its design and manufacture; the very first car audio system that featured automatic volume reduction; and the company's first CD player designed and made specifically for the car, featuring a unique suspension that minimized road shock as much as possible. One year later, management at the company decided to change the firm's name in order to reflect a streamlined, efficient organization. Kenwood Corporation became the formal name of the firm and was also used for its brand name products. By the late 1980s, Kenwood began to reap the rewards of its high-quality electronic products. In 1988 alone, Kenwood won awards for the best mobile security system, the best car CD player, the best cassette, the best tuner, the best amplifier, and the best equalizer. Throughout these years, the company's engineering and research department invariably won various design and engineering awards from a myriad number of associations, publications, consumer groups, and industry competitions. 1946:Kasuga Radio Company is established in Nagano, Japan. 1955:Company plants in Tokyo are mass-producing audio, communications, and test equipment. 1957:Kasuga Radio Company changes its name to Trio-Kenwood Corporation. 1963:Kenwood USA Corporation is established in California. 1968:Listing on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. 1980:Audio products for the car are sold in both America and Japan. 1983:Company introduces its first compact disc player. 1985:Satellite receivers are first marketed in the United States. 1986:Company changes its name from Trio-Kenwood to Kenwood Corporation. 1996:Kenwood revises marketing strategy and focuses on high-end segment of the market.
