Fisher Electronics was an American company specialising in the field of hello-fi electronics. The company and the name was bought by Japanese electronics conglomerate Sanyo in 1975.

History [edit]

Fisher Electronics was an American audio equipment manufacturer founded in 1945 by Avery Fisher in New York City, New York. Originally named the Fisher Radio Corporation, the company is considered a pioneer in high fidelity audio equipment. Fisher initially adult, manufactured and marketed loftier-functioning audio products under the merchandise name "The Fisher".^[1]

In February 1969, Emerson Electric announced plans to purchase Fisher Radio.^{[ii] [3]} To buy Fisher, Emerson initially agreed to exchange 736,000 shares in a transaction worth approximately $75 million.^[4] Emerson later agreed to pay approximately $37 million in stock to larn Fisher.^[five] The buy was completed afterward that year.^[6] Emerson after sold Fisher to Sanyo Electric of Japan in 1975. In 2000, Fisher's entire product lineup was re-branded as Sanyo. Upon the acquisition of Sanyo past Panasonic in 2011,^[7] Sanyo's product lineup was, in plough, re-branded as Panasonic.^[viii] Avery Fisher remained as a consultant for Emerson and Sanyo.

Fisher is mostly known to exist the first company to introduce separate audio components. Originally, hi-fi systems were integrated all into one chassis.

The Fisher [edit]

The Fisher was the brand proper name for high-finish, high quality hi-fi electronic equipment manufactured in New York past The Fisher Radio Corp. during the "gilt historic period" of the vacuum tube, which was named after the visitor founder, Avery Fisher.^{[nine] [10] [11]}

During this flow, similar brands were H.H. Scott, Marantz, Harman Kardon, and McIntosh. Some of the early 1960s models were also available as kits. Fisher tube equipment is considered quite collectible today.

Fisher'southward get-go receiver was the model 500, a mono AM/FM receiver using two EL37 output tubes. Information technology had a brass-plated face up console and an optional mahogany or "blonde" wooden instance. This early mono receiver should non be confused with the later stereo tube receiver models, the 500B and 500C.^[ix] These afterwards receivers made in the early 1960s were stereo using push-pull 7591 output tubes. They were also sold with optional wood cabinets and had aluminum faceplates instead of the brass on the earlier 500 receiver.

Well-known models include (but are not limited to):

• FM-thousand/FMR-1 Broadcast Monitor Tuner, considered one of the best tube tuners, collectible^[12]
• FM-200-B Tuner - VERY similar to FM-one thousand above but for home use
• FM-100-B Tuner
• 800 Series Receiver A,B,C, AM/FM, 7591A outputs
• 500 Series Receiver A,B,C, FM only, 7591A outputs
• 400 Series Receiver, FM just, 7868 outputs, like to model 500, but with fewer features
• Ten-1000 Serial Integrated Amplifier
• X-200 Series Integrated Amplifier
• 10-100 Series Integrated Amplifier

The Fisher was as well used on Fisher'southward early US fabricated solid-state equipment, such as the model 210 receiver.

Fisher FM tuners and receivers often used like designs and components thus allowing parts to exist swapped between various models. A practiced instance is the FM stereo multiplex decoder module.^[9]

Fisher was the first to innovate stereo receivers with four channels. These innovations were brief and occurred in the mid-1970s which some^{[ who? ]} consider The Second Gold Age of High Allegiance. Like many new concepts of the fourth dimension such as Beta Format and VHS, there were 2 competing four channel formats. One was CD-four and the other was SQ. Neither was successful as the purist found separation from highly defined loudspeakers and low distortion receivers and amplifiers.

At the time the concept of a sub-woofer was in its infancy. Now, it is mutual to run across 5+1 systems which had their heritage in the "confrontation" of four-channel and stereo loftier allegiance coupled with a sub woofer.

Other consumer products [edit]

Under Sanyo buying, Fisher besides commercialized a range of consumer products^[13] including

• tv sets,HiFi VHS recorders,projectors and DVD players, digicams and surveillance equipment
• audio systems and dictation machines, mobile devices and phones
• household machinery and air conditioners

In particular, the air conditioning concern of Sanyo and Fisher brands was unified in 2000 under the Sanyo Electric Air Workout Co. Ltd. scheme,^[fourteen] to end up eventually in 2011 with the buyout from Panasonic.
