Madrigal Audio Laboratories

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madrigal Audio Laboratories was founded in 1984 by Sanford Berlin (1927 – March 11, 2008), when he took over the Highend audio-company Mark Levinson. Further brands of Madrigal were Audioaccess, Proceed, Madrigal, Imaging. 1997 the subsidiary Revel Audio for high quality loudspeakers was founded.[1][2]

In 1986 Madrigal went to court with Mark Levinson. One result was, that Levinson was not allowed to use his name as a trade anymore.[3]

In 1990 Madrigal offered a high value CD Player branded as Proceed.[4] Further models, for example the PCD3 1992, followed.[5] The PCx-models had a weight of 12.25 kg (27 lbs), even the slim CDD (in 1997) had a weight of 11.4 kg.[6][7] In 1996 multichannel amplifiers were branded also as Proceed.[8]

A further product were state of the art video-projectors.[9][10]

The company closed in 2002[11] and became part of the Harman International Industries group.
