In 1955 Pamphonic became wholly-owned by Pye, and their market sectors started changing. Despite misgivings, Pamphonic entered the “commodity” market for radios, TVs, record players, amplifiers and tape machines. They also diversified into industrial markets such as “shakers”. But the core Public Address equipment range remained.
Pamphonic continued to be innovators, introducing to the UK market the first integrated stereo amplifier (3000), the first stereo record-player (SP63) and the first Transistor Radio (Pam 710).
