Soundcraftsmen
Soundcraftsmen is best remembered for putting the graphic equalizer into home hi-fi, starting with a product shown at the 1969 Consumer Electronics Show, and for compact "brick" power amplifiers in the 1970s and 1980s. The original site's company page also notes that its early products included tube-type receivers and amplifiers, which is how the brand earned a place in a tube collectors' archive.
Everything Soundcraftsmen made was built at its own factory in Santa Ana, California, until MTX bought the company in 1991 and wound the line down a few years later.
See the Soundcraftsmen maker page for the founders and dates.
