Kenwood is a Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer founded in 1946 in Komagane, Nagano as Kasuga Radio Co., later renamed Trio Corporation, before adopting the Kenwood name globally after Trio acquired the Kenwood brand in 1986. The company merged with JVC in 2008 to form JVCKenwood. Its product lines span home audio, car audio, two-way and amateur radios, and headphones, with U.S. operations based in Long Beach, California.

In music circles, Kenwood is best known for its 1970s and 1980s hi-fi gear, including silver-faced stereo receivers like the KR-9400 and KR-8050, integrated amplifiers, cassette decks, and turntables that remain sought after on the vintage market. The company also produced the Sovereign line of high-end home theater components in the early 2000s, and its KAC-series car amplifiers and head units are common in mobile audio installations.

While Kenwood is not a manufacturer of musical instruments or studio outboard gear, its receivers, amplifiers, and speakers turn up frequently in home listening rigs and project studios, and its amateur radio transceivers have a long-standing reputation among ham operators.

Kenwood has 7 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Speakers & Accessories, Active & Passive Monitors, and Tape Decks. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Blues. Notable users include Rams.
