MADE IN U.SA STaNTon 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.
