Nozomu Matsumoto developed an interest in high-quality sound and built the A-8 dynamic loudspeaker in 1937. He founded Fukuin Shokai Denki Seisakusho in Tokyo the following year, the business that later adopted the Pioneer name.
Pioneer expanded from loudspeakers into home audio, car electronics and video. Its commitment to LaserDisc produced the PX-7 and PX-V60 multimedia computers, which combined MSX programming with interactive optical video and graphics.
