Harman Kardon produces its first product, an FM tuner. 1954 Our earliest "whydidn't-somebodythink-of-thatbefore," the Festival D1000 - the world's first high-fidelity receiver. A tuner and amplifier had never been combined before. 1958 Another first. Festival TA230 - the world's first stereo receiver. 1959 The world's first ultrawidebandwidth tube amplifier. The Citation II remains a classic collectors' item today. 1962 Harman Kardon introduces stereo multiplex FM, an innovation we now take for granted. 1963 Harman Kardon's Citation A and B are the first solidstate products with replaceable circuit boards for easy service. 1970 Harman Kardon introduces the CAD5, the world's first cassette deck with Dolby® B-type noise reduction. 1972 Interference interfered with: a Harman Kardon tuner is the first to employ a phase lock loop (PLL) multiplex decoder. 1978 The stereo receiver gets serious. The Citation receiver is the first highend, high-power design. 6
