H. H. Scott, Inc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"H. H. Scott" is commonly used to abbreviate the company's name. For the company's founder of the same name, see Hermon Hosmer Scott

Founded by Hermon Hosmer Scott in 1947, H.H. Scott, Inc. was one of the top Hi-Fi brands sold in the US during the "Golden Age" of the vacuum tube. Other similar brands included Fisher,Marantz, McIntosh, Harman Kardon. H.H. Scott sold some of the earliest FM Stereo Multiplex tuners and receivers. Pictured is the Model 350, the very first FM Stereo Multiplex Tuner sold in the USA. Some HH Scott units were sold as kits. Models beginning with an "L" such as LK (amplifier) or LT (Tuner) can be recognized as kits rather than factory assembled units.

WCRB in Boston was one of the first three US FM stations to broadcast in multiplex stereo. HH Scott was involved in early stereo multiplex testing with WCRB.
