Falcon was founded in 1972 as Falcon Electronics by Malcolm Jones, the first employee at KEF Electronics Ltd. As Senior Development Engineer Malcolm did most of the design and development of the legendary KEF drive units – the B139, B200, B110, T15, T27 – and the systems in which they were incorporated. In addition to manufacturing the Falcon Acoustics range of drive units (all designed by Malcolm Jones), Falcon began making the now famous Falcon Acoustics Classic BBC LS3/5a in 2014 and has recently expanded the line to include the R.A.M range, and the soon to be launched, technologically advanced Reference range.
