Amstrad is a British electronics company founded in 1968 by Alan Sugar in London. The name is an acronym for Alan Michael Sugar Trading. The company built its early reputation on low-cost consumer audio equipment, including hi-fi separates, amplifiers, tuners, cassette decks, and turntables aimed at the budget end of the UK market during the 1970s and 1980s.
While Amstrad is more widely associated with home computers such as the CPC and PCW ranges, and later with satellite receivers and telecommunications products, its audio division produced integrated tower hi-fi systems, component stereos, and portable radios that were widely sold through British high-street retailers. The brand became a subsidiary of BSkyB in 2007 and has since focused primarily on set-top box manufacturing rather than audio hardware.
Amstrad has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including PA Systems. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include DJ Disk.
