U.S. extends its deepest condolences to those affected
by the 2011 Tohoku Pacific Coast earthquake. Audio-Technica Japan
facilities have not been damaged by the disaster, and all employees
are accounted for and safe. Operations at Audio-Technica Japan are

and computer. The company is constantly monitoring the status of operations
at all sites, with safety being the number-one priority.
