                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Administrative Committee of the Board of Directors
Harman International Industries, Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for Plan
benefits of the Harman International Industries, Incorporated Retirement
Savings Plan as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for Plan benefits of the Harman
International Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan as of June 30,
1995 and 1994 and the changes in net assets available for Plan benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental information in
Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for the purpose of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements.  The fund information in the statements of
net assets available for Plan benefits and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for Plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for Plan benefits and
the changes in net assets available for Plan benefits of each fund.  The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                             June 30, 1995 and 1994

(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements of the Harman International
         Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) have been
         presented on an accrual basis and present the net assets available for
         Plan benefits and changes in those net assets.

         INVESTMENTS

         Investments in guaranteed investment contracts (GIC) are reported at
         contract value.  Contract value represents contributions plus interest
         at the contract rate, less funds used to pay withdrawals and
         administration expenses.

         The Plan participates in pooled funds managed by Putnam Management
         Company, Inc. on behalf of participating employee benefit plans.  Each
         participating employee benefit plan is allocated its proportionate
         share of the net assets and the net investment income of the pooled
         funds.  The investment in pooled funds is reported at fair value which
         is based on quotations obtained from national securities exchanges.

         The Plan also participates in a stock fund to purchase shares of
         Harman International Industries, Incorporated (the Company) common
         stock.  The fair value of the Company stock is determined based on
         quotations obtained from national securities exchanges.

         The Plan also holds investments in a guaranteed investment contract
         and pooled separate accounts managed by Aetna Life Insurance and
         Annuity Co. which arose from a transfer from a related plan.
         Participants may no longer direct that contributions be invested in
         the Aetna Funds.  The assets have not been merged into the available
         investment funds of the Plan due to high surrender charges.  The Plan
         anticipates withdrawals from these Aetna Funds as the penalty period
         expires.

         Securities transactions are recorded principally on the trade-date
         basis.  Net appreciation or depreciation resulting from revaluation of
         investments to fair value is reflected in the statements of changes in
         net assets available for Plan benefits and includes investments
         bought, sold, as well as held during the year.  Dividend income is

         recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Investments are principally managed
         by the Plan's trustee, Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company.

         PARTICIPANT LOANS

         The assets of the participant loan fund represent loans to
         participants of related plans and are carried at outstanding loan
         balance, which approximates market value.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         Administrative expenses of the Plan are principally paid by the Plan.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(2)   PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The Plan agreement amends and restates five preexisting defined
      contribution and savings plan agreements for plans which were merged into
      the Plan and extends coverage to all other eligible nonunion domestic
      employees of Harman International Industries, Incorporated.  Effective
      July 1, 1995, the Plan also extends coverage to hourly collective
      bargaining unit employees of Harman Motive, Inc.  The Plan is subject to
      the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
      (ERISA).

      The Plan is a defined contribution, savings and profit sharing plan
      sponsored by the Company.  The Plan covers all eligible employees, as
      defined by the Plan, provided they have completed six months of
      consecutive service, have worked 500 hours and are 21 years of age.  Plan
      participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
      information.

      Effective January 1, 1994, the Lexicon Retirement Savings Plan was merged
      into the Plan.  The net assets of the related plan were transferred to
      the Plan effective January 1, 1994.

      Effective January 1, 1995, the AKG Acoustics, Inc. Salary Savings Plan
      and the Studer Revox America, Inc. Employee Savings and Profit Sharing
      Plan Trust were merged into the Plan and the net assets of the related
      plans were transferred to the Plan.

      CONTRIBUTIONS

      Participants in the Plan may contribute on a tax-deferred basis from 1%
      to 12% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan.  Participants may
      change their deferral percentage as of the first payroll period following
      the quarterly valuation date.  The Company has made annual basic
      contributions equal to 2% of the compensation paid to all eligible
      participants active at the end of the Plan year and a matching
      contribution equal to 50% of the eligible participant's tax-deferred
      contribution percentage for each payroll period up to a maximum election
      of 6% per payroll period.  In addition, the Company may make profit
      sharing contributions to the Plan, in an amount which the Company's Board
      of Directors, acting in its sole discretion, determines to be a proper
      contribution.  Company profit sharing contributions are limited to 15% of
      the participants' compensation, less the participants' tax-deferred
      contributions, the Company basic contribution and the Company matching
      contribution.  Total Company and participant contributions may not exceed
      15% of total participants' taxable compensation.  Total annual additions
      to a participant's account, exclusive of adjustments to the fair market

      value of the participants' fund account, may not exceed the lesser of
      $30,000 or 25% of the participant's taxable compensation.

      VESTING

      Participants are 100% vested in their salary deferral, employer's basic
      contribution and rollover contribution accounts, and become vested in
      profit sharing and matching contributions at the rate of 25% per year
      after the completion of three years of service, or 100% after reaching
      age 65, death or disability.

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT BALANCES

      Separate accounts are maintained for each participant's salary deferral,
      rollover, employer profit sharing, basic and matching contribution
      balances.  Earnings of the Plan are allocated to the participant account
      balances by investment fund on a daily basis according to the number of
      shares in the participant account balances.  Beginning in 1994,
      participants elect to invest their contributions in one of the following
      five funds:  Fixed Income Fund, the Putnam Fund for Growth

      and Income, Company Stock Fund, the George Putnam Fund of Boston or the
      Putnam Voyager Fund.  Company profit sharing and basic contributions are
      allocated based on participant compensation.  Company matching
      contributions are allocated based upon each participant's tax-deferred
      contribution percentage.

      PARTICIPANT LOANS

      The Plan does not allow for any participant loans.  The loans discussed
      in note 1 arose from the mergers of related plans and no further loans
      will be granted after their repayment is completed.

      BENEFITS

      Upon separation from service, retirement at age 65, disability retirement
      or death, participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to receive
      their vested balances in a lump sum distribution.  However, participants
      from prior merged plans, whose plans allowed distributions of plan
      benefits to be made in optional forms, may elect optional forms of
      payment of the benefit balances that existed prior to the merger.
      Contributions made subsequent to the merger may only be distributed in a
      lump sum payment.

      FORFEITURES

      Any amount forfeited by any employee terminating from the Plan before
      he/she is fully vested remains in the Plan until the end of the Plan
      quarter.  Amounts forfeited by Plan participants are applied to reduce
      the employer contributions.  Forfeitures were $282,272 and $54,924 for
      the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

















(3)   INVESTMENTS

      Investments in any single entity which represent 5% or more of the fair
      value of net assets available for benefits at June 30, 1995 and 1994 are
      as follows:

(4)   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

      The Internal Revenue Service has previously issued a determination letter
      stating that the Plan constitutes a qualified Plan under Sections 401(a)
      and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and that the Trust is exempt from
      income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan
      has been amended in fiscal 1995 and the Plan has filed for a new
