                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                           TO BE HELD ON JUNE 4, 1996

     The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Acrodyne
Communications, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the 1996 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held at the Company's principal executive
offices, Acrodyne Communications, Inc., 516 Township Line Road, Blue Bell, PA
19422, on June 4, 1996 at 10:00 A.M., local time, and at any adjournments
thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of
Annual Meeting. Solicitation of proxies will be made by mail, telephone and, to
the extent necessary, personal interviews. Proxies may be solicited by officers
and employees of the Company without additional compensation to them. All
expenses incident to the preparation of proxy material and solicitation of
proxies are to be paid by the Company. It is anticipated that on or about May
20, 1996 this proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy will be mailed to
shareholders.

     The persons named in the accompanying proxy (the "Proxies") have advised
the Company of their intention, if no contrary instructions are given, to vote
the shares represented by the proxies received by them:

(i)  FOR the election as directors of the Company of those persons designated
     as the Board of Directors nominees;

(ii) FOR ratification of Price Waterhouse LLP as auditors of the Company; and

     in accordance with their best judgment on any other matters which may come
before the Meeting. At this time, management knows of no other matters which are
expected to come before the Meeting. A stockholder executing and returning a
proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Meeting
by notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company, or by attending the
Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at a meeting will not, in and of
itself, constitute revocation of a proxy.

         Record Date and Share Ownership

     The Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company has fixed the close of
business on May 15, 1996 as the record date for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting
(the "Record Date"). The only outstanding classes of stock of the Company and
10,500 shares of 8% Preferred Stock are (i) its Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) its 8% Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "8% Preferred Stock"). On the Record Date,
there were issued and outstanding 2,635,530 shares of Common Stock.

         Voting

     The Common Stock and the 8% Preferred Stock are the only securities of the
Company entitled to vote at the Meeting. At the Meeting, each share of Common
Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of 8% Preferred Stock is entitled
to 25 votes. There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the Common
Stock or the 8% Preferred Stock.

         Quorum

     The presence at the Meeting of the holders of a majority of the shares of
stock outstanding on the Record Date, in person or by proxy, constitutes a
quorum for the transaction of business by such holders at the Meeting.

         Other Proposals

     The Board does not know of any matter other than the foregoing that is
expected to be presented for consideration at the Meeting. However, if other
matters properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies intend to vote thereon in
accordance with their best judgment.

                       PROPOSAL I - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     At the Meeting four directors, who will constitute the entire Board, are to
be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until
their successors shall be elected and shall qualify. All nominees have consented
to being named herein and have agreed to serve if elected. Should any of said
nominees not remain a candidate at the time of the Meeting (a situation which is
not now anticipated) proxies solicited hereunder will be voted in favor of those
nominees who do remain as candidates and may be voted for substitutes nominated
by the Board.

     Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     Any future transactions between the Company and any affiliate thereof will
be on terms no less favorable to the Company than those which are generally
available from unaffiliated third parties and must be ratified by a majority of
independent members of the Company's Board of Directors who do not have an
interest in such transaction.

     There were no such matters which came before the Board during the year
ended December 31, 1995.

                          PROPOSAL II - RATIFICATION OF
                        PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP AS AUDITORS

     Subject to shareholder ratification, the Board of Directors has reappointed
the firm of Price Waterhouse LLP as the independent auditors to examine the
Company's financial statements for the year 1996. Price Waterhouse has audited
the Company's books for the prior three years. Your Directors recommend that
shareholders vote FOR such ratification. Ratification of the appointment of
auditors would require a majority of the votes cast thereon. Any shares not
voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise) have no impact on
the vote. If the shareholders do not ratify this appointment, other independent
auditors will be considered by the board.

     Representatives of Price Waterhouse are expected to attend the Meeting and
will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire and to respond to
appropriate questions.

     During 1995, Price Waterhouse also examined the financial statements of the
Company's subsidiary, Acrodyne Industries, Inc. and provided other audit
services to the Company and subsidiaries in connection with filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and review of financial
statements and provided tax services.

                       BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATIONS

     The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote
"FOR" the foregoing Proposals.

                             SHAREHOLDERS PROPOSALS

     Shareholders who wish to present proposals at the 1997 Annual Meeting
should submit their proposals in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the
address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement. Proposals must be
received no later than January 20, 1997 for inclusion in next year's Proxy
Statement and Proxy Card.

                          ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB

     Upon the written request of any shareholder, the Company will provide,
without charge, a copy of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with
the Commission for the year ended December 31, 1995. This request should be
directed to the Corporate Secretary, Acrodyne Communications, Inc., 516 Township
Line Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422.

                      COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE
                         SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, as well as persons who own more than ten
percent of the Company's Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of
beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of the
Common Stock. Directors, executive officers and greater-than-ten-percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

The Company believes that all persons subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 16(a) filed all required reports on a timely basis during the past
fiscal year.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

     The cost of soliciting the enclosed form of Proxy will be borne by the
Company. In addition, the Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other
persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in
forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Directors, officers
and regular employees of the Company may, without additional compensation,
solicit proxies either personally or by telephone, telegram or special letter.

     At this time, the Board knows of no other business that will come before
the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the
persons named as Proxy holders will vote on them in accordance with their best
judgment.

                                           By Order of the Board of Directors

                                           /s/ Martin J. Hermann
