Canor

The CANOR story dates back to the early 1990s, when Zdeňek Březovják – still the company's chief developer and co-owner today – met his business partners. The son of a musician and multi-instrumentalist, he had previously learned to play the violin and tenor saxophone, but soon became more interested in the technical aspects of sound reproduction. Zdeňek Březovják studied electrical engineering, specializing in radio electronics, and gained experience at a manufacturer of professional PA amplifiers.

Later, the engineer developed his first mono power amplifiers and a battery-powered preamplifier – and met his current colleagues, who were then working on the TP101 tube integrated amplifier. The prototype of this first mass-produced device was presented at the Brno (Czech Republic) trade fair in April 1995.
