Harman Kardon, a division of Harman International Industries (NYSE: [HAR]), is a manufacturer of home and car audio equipment, telematics and a real-time operating system operating system (QNX). Harman is based in Woodbury, New York USA.

Founded in 1953 by Dr. Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon — two men with a deep interest in both music and the arts — the company helped create the high-fidelity audio industry. Their first product was an FM tuner. One year after its founding, harman/kardon introduced the world's first true high-fidelity receiver, the Festival D1000. This monaural unit was not only aimed at non-technical consumers but also incorporated many now-familiar features such as the incorporation of a tuner, component control unit and amplifier on a single chassis. In 1958, harman/kardon introduced the world's first stereo receiver, the Festival TA230, once again aimed at non-technical users in an attempt to make high-fidelity widely available.
