Building upon our more than 60 years of experience and our legendary portfolio of brands, HARMAN is taking innovation to a new level toward the connected, “always-on” lifestyle. We already boast many leadership positions in mobile infotainment, premium audio and multimedia. Our solutions are admired by discriminating audiophiles from every generation. More than 25 million vehicles on the road today travel with our technologies. And we support the world’s leading sport and entertainment figures and the world-class venues where they perform.
But we’re not finished yet.
Our customers want the latest entertainment and information no matter where they go. So we’re teaming up with the best in the business to make it happen. Our partnerships include such names as Apple, Alcatel-Lucent, Intel, Nuance, Sierra Wireless, and more. Our acquisitions include such pioneers as Aha Radio, a leader in streaming online content; MWM Acoustics, innovators in high-performance microphones for embedded audio applications; and 3dB Research, a fellow leader in music and signal processing technologies.
Added to this are HARMAN’s more than 12,000 talented employees worldwide, many of whom began their careers in music and on-site audio engineering, and are now focusing this passion on sharing the experience with others. We have deployed these talented people to the farthest corners of the earth, to create new experiences and business opportunities in both established and emerging markets.
Around the home, our Lifestyle products help customers enjoy the latest music and multimedia, from premium speakers and headphones for computer and gaming applications to packaged home theater solutions that bring Hollywood into any family room. Our advanced audio video receivers let customers organize and share the same great multimedia that has become a staple of today’s compact mp3 players and smart phones.
Even today’s compact audio devices now boast room-size power thanks to HARMAN. Just plug your favorite iPod, iPhone or similar hand-held device into one of our mobile docking stations and enjoy your favorite music and movies in multi-channel, premium sound. Headed for the road? No problem. . . Just plug the same device into your HARMAN in-car infotainment system and your favorite content rides along.
On the road, we’re even offering customers access to email, Web content and real-time social networking via hands-free, eyes-free HARMAN mobile infotainment. Our Aha Radio™ application delivers streaming, online content that blends user preferences, behavior, and predictive web search technologies to deliver a customized infotainment experience that even adapts based on the driver’s traffic corridor.
Integrated speech-to-text technology allows users to verbally interact via social media platforms such as Twitter® and Facebook®, or select from hundreds of channels of Web-based, streaming audio information while keeping both hands on the wheel. Meanwhile, our exclusive HaloSONIC™ sound management technology cancels distracting road and wind noise while providing audible engine feedback to the operators of otherwise-quiet electric and hybrid vehicles.

We travel with the world’s leading performing artists, ensuring faithful audio reproduction of their artistry for every seat in the house. We also equip the world’s leading concert halls, movie theaters, and sporting stadiums, installing millions of watts of audio expertise to delight audiences of every genre and generation.
