Founded in Nagoya, Japan.

In 1970, Kimio Kawamoto founded Canare in Nagoya Japan, focusing on electric construction services of sound systems for schools, hotels, and wedding halls. In the early stage after the establishment, he developed the innovative original microphone cable by hearing many users’ requests. This customer-first attitude led him to expand his business.

Incorporated as Canare Electric Co., Ltd.

In order to further enhance our credibility and expand our business, we established Canare Electric Co., Ltd.(capital:10 million yen) in Nagoya Japan on February 2, 1974, for the purpose of electric construction service for AV equipment.

Released Multichannel Audio Snake Cable.

When using many microphones in a studio or on a stage, the floor is covered with cables that can be hard to step over. Therefore, we developed multichannel cable systems to combine them into a single cable. The functionality and convenience of this system has led to its adoption in the broadcasting industry and concert/musical halls/venues.

Released Fixed Use Microphone Cable.

Canare has succeeded in developing a cable for fixed installation that can reduce the noise interference of microphone cables, and it has been eagerly awaited by the public.
