Harman Luxury Audio

Founded as part of Harman International, which was established in 1953 by engineers Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon under the original name Harman Kardon, HARMAN Luxury Audio Group represents the pinnacle of high-performance audio within the global HARMAN portfolio. Headquartered at HARMAN's global center of acoustic engineering in Northridge, California, the division unites five prestigious brands—JBL Synthesis, Mark Levinson, Revel, Lexicon, and Arcam—under one roof to deliver the most advanced luxury audio systems available. Through strategic acquisitions including JBL in 1969, Madrigal Audio Laboratories (Mark Levinson and Revel) in 2003, and Arcam, HARMAN built a comprehensive luxury audio ecosystem supported by three specialized engineering centers in Northridge, California; Cambridge, UK; and Shelton, Connecticut. Since becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics in 2017, HARMAN Luxury Audio operates from its headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, as part of a global organization with over 30,000 employees serving automotive, consumer, and enterprise markets worldwide through cutting-edge connected audio technologies and premium acoustic engineering.
