Rogers International

The company produces a variety of hi-fi products, such as amplifiers, receivers, car audio equipment and LCD TVs, but is best known for its loudspeakers.

In 1993 the brand was sold off to its new Chinese owners Wo Kee Hong Holdings, who had since developed the Rogers brand to include surround sound speakers, car audio equipment, Dolby Digital receivers and plasma and LCD TV screens.

Although Wo Kee Hong owns the rights to the name, it had retained Swisstone as the sole researcher and designers of the Rogers speakers, therefore preserving the brand's British origins for a while.

In the early 1970s, the BBC was in need of a small monitor speaker for use in restricted areas outside broadcast vans during location recording.

The final, and often overlooked, speakers to be manufactured by Rogers in the UK with qualities that build upon the DNA of previous models, displaying hugely impressive musicality, soundstaging and the clinical monitor quality that rightly won Rogers many followers in the previous decades.
