History of Revox:

早期以製造錄音機起家，尤其對於傳動結構和磁頭有特別深入的研究，其產品以技術先進和堅固耐用著稱，為當時錄音工業中不可或缺的廠牌。1950年推出的T26盤式錄音機（後來改款為著名的G36真空管錄音機）可說是Revox打響的第一炮，1967年，EMI在英國寺院路錄音室中，以兩部Studer/Revox集團出品的J37四軌錄音座錄製了超級搖滾樂團披頭四的「花椒軍曹的寂寞芳心俱樂部樂隊」專輯，同年，A77錄音座上市，在全世界賣出了四十萬台以上。古典錄音品牌Naxos唱片的老闆Klaus Heymann尚未投身有聲出版業前，就曾是Studer/Revox和Bose的香港/中國區經銷商。至今，國內的廣電發展基金會和許多專業錄音室也都可以看到Revox的身影，如位於關渡的國立藝術學院，是一所專門培養表演藝術人才與專業舞台工作者的大學，校內展演中心的戲劇廳和舞蹈廳就用了Revox C270四分之一吋盤式機作為錄音之用，兩廳院的實驗劇場、台北市立社教館與多所縣立文化中心也都使用Revox的錄、放音器材。

History for audio machine:
自從愛迪生發明留聲機以來，人類就開始有了機械式的音響，把刻錄在唱片上的訊號經由號角式的喇叭而放大聲音；愛迪生也是電燈泡的發明者，電燈泡是真空管的鼻祖，最早的真空管是二極管，只能做整流，後來在真空管內加入了柵極成為三極管，真空管就有了放大作用，自此之後就開始有了擴大機。而機械式的留聲機也演進到電唱機，將音源經過擴大機放大之後，再經過喇叭輸出，就可以聽到原來錄製的聲音，於是人類就開始有了音響。經過一百多年的演進，由單聲道的音響到兩聲道的立体聲，這期間是很長的，不像今天的科技發展的那麼快，在漫長的兩聲道立体聲中也有一小段時期的3D式的3聲道音響，約在十幾年前，也有一種4聲道的模擬環繞音響，但也是曇花一現。這之間經歷最長的還是兩聲道音響。音響的音樂來源除了唱片之外，還有電台廣播、錄音帶、CD唱片等等，這些都是屬於聲音的部份，而影像部份除了電視廣播之外就是錄影帶，通常看錄影帶都是與電視機搭配，利用電視機內的喇叭來廳聲音，很少有人將錄影機接到音響器材來觀賞影片的，並不講究畫質與音質，不管怎樣，這些音源都只有聲音，而並沒有影像，至於影像部份，則只有錄影機與電視機，但是錄音機與電視機的聲音與畫質都不好，因此很少有人將錄影機接到音響器材來觀賞影片與聲音的。
