A brand of the
world's biggest consumer corporation, Matsushita. Pioneered "organic
edge design" in the
late 80s, meaning that products started to have generic body like curves as oppossed to geometric designs.
Same company as Technics, National, Panavison, Panaflex and Pana-anything. Their equipment has been used in filming for ages.
Not quite as boring or planned redundancy compliant as other brands like
Sony, whom tend to disable features on cheaper products and make less and less reliable laser pickups all the
time.
Shop around before buying Panasonic, they only make a handful of really good products.
I have a Panasonic stereo with 400w PMPO in my
Civic, which would be around 4w RMS in
reality. Listen to my ghetto-
bass with >5% THD at half volume.
