Company profile[edit]
H.H. SCOTT was founded in 1946 by Hermon Hosmer Scott (1909 - 1975). The abbreviation H.H. was used to avoid confusion with E. H. Scott, the "Radio Company of Chicago", manufacturer of so-called "Rolls Royce" medium wave radios. In 1947 the Scott Dynaural preamplifier and the first Hifi amplifier were introduced. H.H. Scott paved the way with Dynaural Noise Reduction, which allowed radio stations to transmit music stored on records and tapes faithfully and almost noise-free for the first time. Scott also made his mark with innovative design, as well as field-effect transistors (FETs), integrated circuits (ICs), controlled impedance loudspeakers, and digital technology. It was the following innovations by H.H Scott Inc. that helped create a hi-fi industry. 1952, H.H. Scott introduced integrated amplifiers of the first so-called "slim line", the TYPE Scott 99-A. 1955, Scott introduced the first wideband tuner, FM and medium wave (FM/AM), and the H. H. Scott 710-A record player. Until then, only medium wave tuners or receivers had been available. In 1958 Scott started with his revolutionary "Stereomaster" family, including the integrated amplifier of TYPE 299, and the word STEREOMASTER became a household word over the years. In 1959 the first stereo amplifier and the stereo preamplifier Scott 130 followed. Stereo LP recording (from 1957), four-track tape recorders, VHF stereo (FM matrix, signal generated from 2 mono channels) and later real stereo (multiple FM broadcast in the USA from 1961), increased the demand for hi-fi products enormously. In 1961 the first stereo multiplex tuner from Scott followed. In the middle of the 60s, Scott amplifiers already had connections for a centre speaker, e.g. Scott 296. These units had an output for connecting an additional mono power amplifier which, connected to a third loudspeaker, reproduced a matrix signal generated from the two stereo channels. The advantage was a much more spatial music reproduction. In 1964 came the first fully transistorized receiver from Scott. In 1966 Scott was the first hi-fi manufacturer to use field effect transistors in FM tuners. Likewise Scott produced the first receiver, which was equipped exclusively with ICs. In 1967 the Scott 348 and the Scott S-11 loudspeaker system followed. The Scott Copley S-12 speaker system came in 1968. 1969, the first receiver with quartz crystal tuning and the Scott LR-88 stereo receiver kit. By the end of the 60's, production of (tube) tube sets, tube receivers, tube tuners and tube amplifiers. The first digital frequency synthesizer tuner in the world (Scott T-33 S) also came from Scott, 1970 - 1975. The amplifiers and receivers are not only characterized by their beautiful appearance they also have excellent sound characteristics. This also applies to the smallest, the A 416 from the beginning of the 70s. Only components of the highest quality were used in the manufacture of the hi-fi units. Since the production of the Hifi devices was manageable, the devices are meanwhile rarities. There are e.g. also the amplifiers Scott A 426, Scott A 436, Scott A 236, the receivers Scott R 31, Scott R 34, Scott R 36, Scott R 316, Scott R 326, Scott R 77, Scott R 75, Scott R 74, the tuners Scott T 526, Scott T 33. The receivers Scott R 31, Scott R 34, Scott R 36 and the amplifier Scott A 236 were among the optically most beautiful devices.
