Amcron (Crown)

About Amcron (Crown)

Amcron is the export brand name historically used by Crown International, an iconic American audio manufacturer known for its professional power amplifiers and other audio electronics. Crown, established in 1947 and rebranded as Crown International in the 1960s, used the 'Amcron' name—short for 'American Crown'—in European and some export markets to avoid trademark conflicts with existing local brands named Crown. The products labeled 'Amcron' are identical in design and quality to those branded 'Crown,' and this branding is especially common on vintage amplifiers from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Today, the brand operates globally as Crown, under Harman International (Samsung Electronics).
