80 years of innovation at Pioneer. In 1937, Nozomu Matsumoto, founder of Pioneer Corporation, developed Japan's first Hi-Fi dynamic loudspeaker, which became the basis for modern speakers of this class. In 1938, he created the Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho company, the predecessor of the Pioneer Corporation. The current name of Pioneer was originally a trademark of the “A-8” loudspeaker, developed by the founder of the company, who was very impressed by the high sound quality of a foreign-made dynamic loudspeaker.
