OUR PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS — RADFORD

Arthur H. Radford started Radford Electronics in 1946 and initially produced amplifiers for PA systems.  Buoyed by the feedback from numerous happy customers, Arthur realised that his fledgeling PA amp delivered a performance that could almost be considered hifi, so with further development he set out to conquer the hifi market. The first hi-fi product was power amplifiers which demonstrated low levels of distortion – so lmuch so that the company had to devise new test instrumentation  to quantify the distortion level.  This led to an interesting spin-off where Radford lab gear was later to become just as famous as its audio products...
