Onkyo

Onkyo Corporation (オンキヨー株式会社, Onkyō Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese consumer electronics company,[1] specializing in premium home cinema and audio equipment, including AV receivers, surround sound speakers and portable devices.

The company became bankrupt in 2022; the Onkyo brand now does business under joint ownership by Sharp Corporation and Voxx International.

Kyo (響) is also from Chinese pronunciation, pronounced as Hibiki (noun) or Hibiku (verb) in traditional Japanese, meaning "resound, sound, or echo".

[4] In 1993, Onkyo acquired Lucasfilm's THX certification and then launched the first ever THX-certified AV consumer receiver.

[7] In May 2021, Voxx International and Sharp Corporation began negotiations with Onkyo to purchase its home audiovisual division.

[9][10] Onkyo was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange in August 2021 due to the market's rules on negative net worth.
