Chapter 1 Getting Started
About MELCO
Melco was established by Makoto Maki in 1975 in Japan. Maki, an enthusiastic audiophile, established the company
to design and manufacture the finest audio components of the time - the undoubted masterpiece of the Melco line
being the turntable, introduced into the UK in 1980, which set new standards in music reproduction.
From those early beginnings Melco developed into the largest computer peripherals manufacturer in Japan,
offering advanced products based on rigorous R&D, including wireless routers, Ethernet data switches and storage
devices such as NAS drives.
Now the company is proud to revive the highly-respected Melco brand, offering discerning audiophiles high
technology networked audio components in the spirit of those much revered early Melco products, while
incorporating the very latest research into reliable high performance networked devices and storage.
'MELCO' stands for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company.
