TRADITION
Stanton Magnetics was founded in 1961. Its pur­
pose was to create and market product for the
professionals in the Recording and the Broad­
cast Industries.
At that time, recording equipment and play­
back electronics had outgrown the capabilities
of the best state-of-the-art cartridge designs.
To close this technical gap, one of Stanton's first
major moves was to create the Calibration
Standard Series of Magnetic Cartridges. Stan­
ton resolved to produce an "absolute" cartridge
standard". stereo cartridges of such linearity
and overall quality as to gain immediate ac­
ceptance within the Recording and the Broad­
casting Industries, and of so advanced i"n deSign
that it would remain the standard for years to
come.
Stanton's devotion to the needs of Audio Profes­
sionals has had a profound effect on listening
habits around the world. Today. the majority of
Stanton product goes into the systems of audio­
philes for home entertainment. While Stanton
Magnetics can be characterized from many
points of view perhaps the most important
is the company's commitment to quality and
reliability Such goals demand total dedication
to quality control and research. Our research
department. the heart of the company. has a
team of engineers who create and then
monitor the production of a cartridge. They use
sophisticated sound and measuring equip­
ment. such as the Real Time Analyzer. which
gives a precise, visual display of a cartridge's
performance, and the Scanning Electron Beam
Microscope to examine and study styli as well as
record grooves.
Stanton's commitment to excellence is borne
out by the fact that each of the twenty or more
components that goes into every cartridge is
manufactured within our own plants, to insure
complete uniformity In addition, and unique
to our type of manufacturing process, every
cartridge is checked against "Criteria for Stan­
dards" and not. as is often the case with other
manufacturers, merely spot-checked. In the
course of time, we have also developed profes­
sional related products, a Preamplifer/Equalizer,
Stereo Headphones and Record Care
products.
Stanton Magnetics was formed to meet the
exacting needs of the audio professional and
although our market has grown to include the
more demanding nonprofessional audiophile,
our commitment to quality is the same as was
back in 1961.
