Early Life

Avery Fisher was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School and graduated from New York University in 1929 and subsequently worked two years in the publishing industry. During this time, Fisher, an amateur violinist, began experimenting with audio design and acoustics. By 1937, he established his first company, Philharmonic Radio. In 1945, Fisher sold the company and began his second audio company, called Fisher Radio, which marketed products of extraordinary quality and performance under the name The Fisher.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    We all come from our own little planets. That’s why we’re all different. That’s what makes life interesting.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
