History

Pioneer’s heritage as a loudspeaker manufacturer began over 60 years ago, and for the past 30 years, the company has emerged as a world-class leader in professional studio monitoring loudspeakers, under the Technical Audio Devices (TAD) brand name. Founded in 1975, TAD has built a legacy of manufacturing professional recording studio loudspeakers that set the standard for excellence in audio reproduction. TAD products are designed, crafted and produced with strict adherence to the most rigorous standards demanded by musicians and professional audio system designers around the world.

TAD Loudspeaker components are found in studio monitors, sound reinforcement systems, public address and concert hall speakers, cinema theater audio systems, and many other applications that require the highest-quality sound reproduction. With this high standard of quality, world-class recording studios rely on TAD components for original recordings and digital remastering of audio performances.

With its heritage of uncompromising performance, TAD has created a Home Audio Division to produce audio components that carry this same pedigree into the home. This division’s products combine TAD’s 30 years of design expertise with a host of other technologies that deliver unparalleled audio performance.
