Halcro Returns to Market with Patriotic Tribute
With a tip of the hat to Aussie boutique manufacturer Redgum Audio, there's perhaps no other brand more iconic than Australia's very own Halcro, who arguably in their prime enjoyed more success on a global level within the HiFi market than any other home-grown brand.
As reported in an exclusive interview here on StereoNET in 2014, Halcro are set to return to the market this year after a number of years spent deep in research and development.
Marking Halcro's return in 2017, an entire area of the Ground Floor at this year's Melbourne International HiFi Show, has been renamed the 'Halcro Lounge' in their honour and will feature new products including amplifiers and revolutionary new loudspeakers.
Further, Halcro haae also setup their own independent record label under the Halcro name, and will use the Halcro Lounge to showcase some of their very own artists, performing live. As the first artist to sign to Halcro Records, Mary Webb, who performed to punters at the 2016 International HiFi Show is about to head to the U.S to record her new album, accompanied by Halcro Sales & Marketing Manager, and Halcro Records Artist Development Manager, Mike Kirkham.
Suffice to say, Halcro is back. And what better way to return to the market than to debut at the only 100% Australian owned and operated, Melbourne International HiFi Show.
Visit Halcro in the Halcro Lounge, Ground Floor, Pullman Mercure Hotel. Queens Road, Albert Park, November 3rd-5th 2017.

Tickets go on sale this weekend. For more information visit the official website.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
