When it comes to high-delity
audio equipment, David Haer
is oen described as the man
who led the charge. In 1950,
David Haer and Herb Keroes
started a Philadelphia-based
company called Acrosound in
order to build and sell audio-
quality output transformers,
primarily for home electronics hobbyists. In 1954, David
Haer and Herb Keroes parted company. That same
year, Haer met an audio engineer named Ed Laurent,
who had designed a novel single-tube driver circuit for a
power amplier. In 1955, the two men founded the Dyna
Company which later became Dynaco with the intenon
of not only producing transformers, but high-quality
audio circuitry.
Dynaco’s rst product was the Mk. II 50 wa
power amplier. Available as a kit or preassembled unit,
the Mk. II was
sold for several
years unl its
replacement
in 1956 by the
Mk. III amplier
which produced
60 was.
Dynaco is best
remembered
by the ST-70 that was launched in 1959 and sold
primarily as a Dynakit. A masterpiece of ecient circuit
design, the ST-70 provided reliable, high-quality audio
amplicaon at an aordable price. More than 350,000
ST-70 ampliers had been sold when producon nally
ceased, making the ST-70 the most popular tube power
amplier ever made. Today, the Dynaco ST-70 is sll
considered to be one of the most outstanding tube
ampliers ever made.
In 1966, Dynaco became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Tyco, Inc. and David Haer remained with
the company for a few years, but le in 1974 to join
Ortofon, manufacturer and importer of high-end phono
cartridges. In 1977, Haer founded the Haer Company,
connuing the tradion of oering high quality kits and
assembled hi- gear. The Haer DH-200 was introduced
using mosfet outputs – a feature that way ahead of the
rest of the amplier community. In 1987 Halfer sold his
namesake to Rockford Corporaon where chief engineer
Jim Strickland took on the challenge of moving Halfer
towards building high end ampliers. This culminated
with the 9505 which by all accounts is one of the most
musical power amps ever made.
In 1995, Haer le the hi- market to instead
focus on producing ampliers for the studio market. This
is when Radial began the aliaon with Rockford, taking
on the distribuon of Haer ampliers for Canada.
Radial purchased the Haer brand from Rockford in
2014 with a goal of eventually re-launching some of the
Haer classic ampliers.

The Haer PH50 is a high performance phono
preamp for moving magnet (dynamic) cartridges
that incorporates a well dened RIAA curve
to preserve and transmit the original program
material with minimal coloraon. Parcular
aenon has been applied to reducing noise, a
problem common to the 33 RPM recording chain,
resulng in a -82dB noise oor with greater than
91dB of dynamic range and less than 0.002%
distoron.
The Haer PH60 is a high performance phono
preamp for moving coil cartridges that combines
a class-A transformerless head-amp design with a
well dened RIAA curve to preserve and transmit
the original program material with minimal
coloraon. Due to the extremely low signal level
produced by moving coils, parcular aenon has
been applied to reducing noise while retaining
the purity of the signal path to address the most
demanding audiophiles.
The Haer HA15 is a 100% discrete headphone
amplier that has been meculously designed
to produce Haers legendary sound quality with
sucient gain to power any type of headphone.
A unique ‘focus’ control may be engaged that
brings the stereo image to the center to beer
approximate the feel as if listening to loudspeakers
in a typical ambient space.
As the Tube Head will likely nd its way into
more discerning studios, a number of features
have been added to address this market. These
include balanced line inputs for easy connecon
to pro-audio workstaons and mixing consoles,
dual headphone outputs to enable the arst and
engineer to ‘share’ the listening experience when
evaluang the mix and throughputs that enable
the more creave engineer to use the tube drive
circuit to add tube character to tracks.
Proudly made in North America, the Haer PH34
and PH44 SUTs are passive devices that employ
ultra high performance Jensen Transformers to
boost the low-level signal produced by a moving
coil cartridge by as much as 31dB without any
amplicaon or the associated noise that they
produce. Jensen wrote the book on transformer
technology and for over 40 years has gained the
accolades of being the world’s most respected and
revered audio transformer manufacturer.
