The history of the creation of the Mystery TV company. History of the Mystery brand

MYSTERY

N. Manson, founder of the company: Today, Mystery is largely shaping the market for automotive audio and multimedia technology.
When many years ago Paul Barton and I created trademark Mystery and released the first line of car audio products, our goal was to offer customers reliable, decent-sounding products for minimum price. And we did it!

At the beginning of our journey, we found best solutions from existing ones and then implemented them with a record price / quality ratio. Today Mystery is a serious company that pays great attention to its own developments. Now we ourselves are able to surprise the world with new multifunctional devices, and our models are copied by competitors.

In the current Mystery lineup you will find turntables that can read all digital formats. Single and double din head units with retractable 7” active screen. Ceiling monitors from 7" to 15" with a tuner and FM modulator, allowing you to wirelessly connect to regular system car. Pairing components is facilitated by Bluetooth and USB inputs. We continue to develop and expand the range of devices and components for music lovers: amplifiers, acoustics, cables, accessories, etc. Our audio components continue to outperform much more established competitors.

The latest generation Mystery devices are single-din radios, which always have an LCD screen. The choice of such devices is great - there are models with a screen from 3 to 4.6 inches! That is, now you can watch a full-length video on the radio, without even connecting an additional monitor. And this trend will continue. We predict that very soon the wide screen of the radio will become mandatory standard, and will completely replace the old samples with a conventional display. A similar situation arose once with the MP3 format, but now it is impossible to imagine a radio without MP3 support.

All Mystery appliances are fully adapted to the conditions of the country in which they are sold. So, Mystery TVs and multimedia systems sold in Russia always have the SECAM format that is relevant here. The same goes for our new widescreen radios – SECAM is a must here. And, by the way, this is what sets us apart from our peers on the market. Mystery navigation devices know all the local nooks and crannies and speak Russian. The Mystery company was one of the first to bring to Russian market GPS navigation systems. And it's not just navigation system, but a full-fledged multimedia Entertainment Center, which, among others, has a navigation function.

N.M.: Paul and I always strive to make the kind of technology that we would like to have in our own cars. Our company is flexible enough not to be in the tail of progress, and strong enough to constantly be in the first positions.
Mystery will always be the best match latest solutions and advanced technologies.

This Canadian team began their creative career with a lightweight AOR, but then reconsidered their views and stomped along the progressive path trodden by their countrymen from "Saga" and "Rush". "Mystery" was born in 1986 on the initiative of Michel Saint-Pierre, and at first they had the status of a purely studio project and only after four years they turned into a full-fledged team. At the turn of the decades, the positions in the group were distributed as follows: Saint-Pierre (guitar), Raymond Savoie (vocals), Stéphane Perrault (drums) and Benoit Dupois (keyboards). At that time, Michel had already managed to acquire his own studio "Illusion", and in 1991 the first "mysterious" sessions were held there.

With the help of brother Raymond Gary (vocals) and Richard Edison (bass), "Mystery" recorded a CD of the same name, released in 1992 on their own. The album attracted interest from a number of record companies, but due to the drummer's illness, the deal stalled, and the band members took up side projects. However, there was still no complete abandonment, and in 1993 Michelle and Gary spent the whole summer in Illusion, writing about 20 new "mysterious" songs.

The same autumn, Stefan also returned to duty, and although the disease deprived him of mobility in his legs, he continued to work in a wheelchair, having worked out new technology, which allowed him to tap without the use of programmable sequencers. The following year, the team actively gave concerts, and also began preparing the second album. When "Mystery" found themselves in the studio, the line-up increased by two units, and the new members of the project were Patrick Borkyu (bass) and Michel Painchod (saxophone, acoustic guitar). In 1995, St. Pierre established Unicorn Records, and on next year this label released the album "Theatre Of The Mind". By that time, the configuration had changed, and the responsibilities were redistributed as follows: Michelle (guitar, keyboards), Patrick (bass), Gary (vocals) and Stefan (drums, synthesizers).

With the release of "Theatre Of The Mind", the group's fame broke out of Canada, and their CDs began to be sold in the USA, Norway and France. As time went on, Perrault found it difficult to cope with the installation, and he decided to take up graphics (he later re-designed the cover of "Theatre Of The Mind"). The search for a replacement did not take too long, and soon the vacancy was filled by Steve Gagne.

Only in 2007 "Mystery" released the LP "Beneath The Veil Of Winter's Face", which was a mixture of AOR (to a lesser extent) and neo-prog (to a greater extent). The following work, "One Among The Living", although there have been some lineup changes over the three-year period between releases.

The American company Mystery was founded by businessmen friends who were fond of good sound in everyday life. Their goal was to create such audio devices that would be available to anyone. Moreover, these devices should be of such a quality that a person of average income can only dream of, and at such a price that a person of average income can purchase these devices without hesitation. The goal was set and achieved.

The principle of the company's work is primarily based on careful tracking of progressive technologies in the world of audio systems, and then on the same careful selection of materials and components, with the final price of the product becoming the benchmark for choice.

And businessmen friends managed to create such devices, whose functional properties corresponded to the most expensive devices, and even if the price did not allow them to be called elite, they really were.

The result of a well-thought-out policy and marketing moves was a balanced production of a wide range of model range various types of products, including everything from the world of car audio, multimedia, car video, car audio, amplifiers, subwoofers and car tuning accessories - neon lights, cables and much more that is on the car audio & video market today.

By the way, the founders of the company themselves did not call their products elite. “We are hindered by our modesty and its low price,” they said. This phrase, uttered by one of his business friends Paul Barton, became the slogan of Mystery.

At the very beginning of the path of development, Mystery chose the best technical solutions and based on them produced their products at a record low cost. And modern Mystery is a serious company capable of offering consumers their own developed multifunctional devices. Today, competitors are copying the Mystery models.

Modern models of Mystery audio devices are capable of reading any digital formats. Ceiling monitors equipped with an FM modulator, which makes it possible to connect to the standard car electronics without wires, become a unique development of the company's engineers.

Another condition for the developers of modern Mystery technology was the adaptation of devices to the conditions of the country in which the equipment will be sold. For example, all Mystery multimedia systems sold in Russia are adapted to the SECAM signal. Mystery navigators are equipped with Russian maps and Russified. However, the first navigator supplied by Mystery to the Russian market was not just a navigator, but a modern multimedia entertainment system that included navigation functions. This trend allows us to compete with analogues and distinguishes Mystery equipment from other car audio & video brands.

N. Manson, the second businessman friend, the founder of the company, said the legendary words: “Paul and I have always made equipment that we ourselves installed in our cars. And our company is very flexible so as not to trail behind innovations and very strong in order to constantly maintain its leading position.”

One thing is certain, the Mystery technique will always optimally combine innovative technologies, low cost and excellent quality.

mystery - whose firm? I want to buy a product, I wonder: mystery whose company?

1. The company is not the best.
2. American firm. Quite a decent company. I work as a sales assistant, I sell a lot, there were no returns. Not all devices are good, as in all branded firms there are flaws. And that's pretty decent for not a lot of money. good product: kettles, meat grinders, microwave, tv (medium). The product is assembled under license in China. And probably nothing right now will not be the original. And if it will be at cosmic prices. So take it.
3. made TURKIYE TURKEY
4. Bork, Techno, Trony, Elenberg, Vitek, Vigor, Scarlett, Kaiser and many more ghost companies selling goods on our market, whose production addresses are almost impossible to find.
   This is the so-called OEM production (English Original equipment manufacturer) - an abbreviation for the method of production of goods, when one company (just a private person) orders a batch of goods from another company with a production base, while the real manufacturer is not indicated, but the product is applied any logo that will be specified. Moreover, a third company is engaged in the sale of products (it is these addresses that can be found), which does not ask "unnecessary" questions and cannot answer the "simple" question - where do the firewood come from 😉

   All of the above directly applies to Mystery - Chinese (Taiwan) production, but quite tolerable. Given the level of such "colleagues", generally with unpronounceable names ...

5. Subs are about bombing, with TVs it’s a different matter, but what is connected with installation in a wheelbarrow is to them
6. TVs are made in Russia

7. Chinese production. The lowest level of quality.
8. American

10. Many have already answered you, but I will answer, take it without hesitation. The market is now full of all sorts of rubbish from generally unknown and non-existent brands, and Mystery is a fairly well-known company, they even have a website in Russian, which proves their high quality.
11. This is an American company and not bad enough. I know for sure that they have not bad car TVs. . We have one in our car, it's perfect.
12. china of course
