Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Townshend was founded by Max Townshend in the United Kingdom. The brand released its first product in 1975: the EEQ, an equalizer designed for adjusting acoustic problems in rooms. In the following years, the company developed several products with a focus on signal transmission and vibration control. In 1983, Townshend introduced the Rock record player, featuring the Excalibur tonearm design, followed by improved versions such as the Rock 2 through the Rock 7. In the early 2000s, the brand introduced the Seismic Isolation System for mechanical decoupling of equipment. In addition, passive Supertweeters were launched for extending the frequency range of speakers. Also came interconnect and speaker cables with patented technologies such as Isolda and Fractal. In 2015, the Allegri volume control system was introduced, based on a passive transformer. Since its founding, the brand has remained active in the development of products focused on signal transmission and vibration damping. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
