Our Story

In 1970, Canare was founded by Kimio Kawamoto in Nagoya, Japan. He derived the name from the river that ran near the office, the Kanare. The introduction of the innovative high-quality, low noise microphone cable in 1977 put Canare on the map as a player in the A/V industry. Our reputation continues to grow as well as the list of the many well-known installations and venues we have had a hand in the development of.

We are committed to empowering A/V professionals with innovative products as well as assisting them in finding which products would best fit their demands. Meeting the growing needs of our clients by providing them with the highest quality wares and service is our priority.
