Founded as a brand by Willi Studer in Switzerland on March 27, 1951, Revox emerged from Studer's tape recorder development begun in 1949. Originally manufacturing under 'Dynavox' (1949-1950), the company established Revox for amateur markets while retaining Studer for professional equipment. The first Revox T26 tape recorder launched in 1952, followed by landmark models including the A36 (1954), first stereo D36 (1960), and the legendary A77 (1967) which sold over 400,000 units. Manufacturing occurred in Regensdorf, Switzerland until 1967, with operations later moving to Germany due to labor issues. Following founder Willi Studer's death in 1996, the brand underwent ownership changes through Motor-Columbus AG (1990) and private investors after Harman International acquired Studer (1994). Revox produced reel-to-reel tape recorders from 1951-1998, targeting consumer and semi-professional markets with Swiss engineering excellence that defined an era of analog recording.
