Their component HiFi reaches back to the all valve era, with their stereo receiver-amplifiers often having 2 tuning dials and 2 separate tuners, some of which would tune in multiple carrier AM stereo broadcasts.
Innovation at the company was very significant during this period. Trio built oscilloscopes, such as the popular 10 MHz CS-1562A.
