The journey begins with Hideo Matsushita who established the Audio Technica Corporation in Tokyo's Shinjuku-ku and produced the Audio Technica one and the Audio Technica three millimetre phono cartridge distributing to big audio equipment houses in Japan. The demand was so great due to the quality that the company grew and moved to larger operations premises in Japan to accommodate. The 5000 and 1001 models were introduced as the high end phono cartridge and the first semi integrated tone arm. Through the sixties and seventies the company developed its product base and as they did the customer base expanded winning contracts in the United States and the United Kingdom.
