In the year of our foundation,
Pioneer brings the A-8 dynamic
speaker to the market. The clear
vision we had then — to bring
a new level of sound quality to
a wider public — is still true
today as we continue to aim ever
higher.
TAD (Pioneer’s Technical Audio
Device department) develops the
TAD Pro Audio monitoring drivers.
They are acknowledged as ‘‘best of
the best’’ in the professional audio
industry.
Pioneer’s SDC (Speaker Design Center) is established in Paris in
order to stay up-to-date with European trends and new technologies.
A cosmopolitan team designs and develops Pioneer speakers based on
the results of market research.
Derived from the legacy technology of TAD Pro
Audio speakers, the TAD-M1 takes home audio
reproduction to new levels. Considered to be one of
the best speaker systems in the world, this speaker
is recognized by audio purists for its remarkable
clarity, detail, imaging and dynamics.
Pioneer initiates the EX project: to create a new
high-end speaker system for worldwide markets.
The EX Series is born. A fl agship model for
Pioneer’s speaker systems around the world, this
speaker collection uses many of the technical
specifi cations of the highly acclaimed TAD-M1.
The EX Series showcases Pioneer’s knowledge
and ability to create a premium speaker system
with incredible design and astonishing sound
quality.
