Celebrating 60 Years
Sherwood Electronic Labs was founded in Chicago in 1953 to manufacture an amplifier designed by legendary audio engineer Ed Miller. Determined to design high performance audio gear and to manufacture it themselves, Miller and his partner John Snow created a company that has long set the standard for audio excellence and efficient manufacturing.
Constant Improvement
Throughout the evolution of advanced audio electronics, Sherwood’s contributions have been invaluable. The world’s first commercial FM stereo broadcast employed Sherwood technology. Sherwood was the first to introduce digital readout tuners and computer-controlled tuners. And, most significantly, the industry’s first 100% all-silicon solid-state audio receiver came from Sherwood.
Breaking Sound Barrier Ever Since
Today the company’s leadership continues. Not only is the Sherwood brand synonymous with high performance audio worldwide, but it is an industry secret that Sherwood is the actual manufacturer of nearly one-third of the world’s high performance receivers. Many of the products we build are available with brand names which may be better known than our own. But none are built with the same sense of pride as those that bear our own name, nor are any better built or better engineered than those that bear our Newcastle badge. Newcastle is the best we build for anyone.
The Future Sounds Even Better
In the fiercely competitive and rapidly evolving field of consumer electronics where companies shift production sites from one low-cost country to another, Sherwood is a leading light, an international symbol of unsurpassed quality. Fittingly, the company continues to be guided by Ed Miller’s enduring philosophy: Design audio gear that offers only the highest levels of performance.
