TC Group is a Danish multinational corporation specializing in audio related products for musicians, installers, producers, engineers, broadcasters, audio consultants and contractors. Its individual brands include Lab.gruppen, Lake, Tannoy, TC-Applied Technologies, TC Electronic and TC-Helicon. Overall, the company organizes itself around four market verticals: Musician, Install & Tour, Broadcast & Production, and Residential.
TC Group's products include audio effects and amplification devices for singers, guitar players, and bass players; performance speakers and amplifiers; loudspeakers and amplifiers for installation, including ceiling speakers and column speakers; and processing and metering for broadcast and production.
TC Group is composed of several companies that precede its 1998 formation, most notably Tannoy (1926) and TC Electronic (1976).
Tannoy is the Scotland-based manufacturer of loudspeakers and PA (public address) systems. It was founded as the Tulsemere Manufacturing Company in London and moved to its present headquarters in Coatbridge, Scotland in the 1970s. The name Tannoy is derived from a contraction of the term "tantalum alloy," which was a metal used in the early development of the company's products. Tannoy became a household name as a result of supplying PA systems to the armed forces during World War II and to Butlins and Pontins holiday camps after the war. They subsequently became known for the high fidelity sound reproduction of their dual concentric speakers in the late 1940s. This was followed by many speakers for professional, touring and high-end residential applications.
TC Electronic is located in Aarhus, Denmark, in the district of Risskov. It was founded by brothers Kim and John Rishøj, whose engineering goal was to produce guitar pedal effects which significantly reduced unwanted signal noise. The resulting product was the Stereo Chorus, Pitch Modulator and Flanger. This became known by guitar players as "SCF". TC Electronic has since produced a variety of guitar and bass effects and has also branched out into the area of broadcast and transmission.
As TC Electronic moved to acquire other companies, it created an entity called TC Works. On October 10, 1998, TC Group became incorporated, beginning a process of strengthening links between itself, Tannoy, and TC Electronic as well as acquiring other audio-related companies and developing distribution deals with audio technology manufacturers.
