The Velodyne Story . . .
Founded in 1983 by David Hall,
Velodyne Acoustics is the result of an
effort to bring the discipline of me-
chanical engineering and the doctrine
of common sense to the field of high
performance audio- the Silicon Valley
approach to sound.
Through innovative thinking and
inventive design, the company pio-
neered the first true servo-controlled
subwoofers. The result was both the
reference standard for bass repro-
duction and the foundation for distor-
tion-free listening.
Rejecting the trend toward high-end
indulgence or fancy marketing gim-
micks with no relevance to improving
sound, Velodyne devoted its techni-
cal resources to bringing the benefits
of ultra-low distortion technology
within the reach of all dedicated
music lovers. In fact, many state of
the art recording studios & homes
now feature Velodyne subwoofers as
their "reference standard" by which
all others should be judged.
With the introduction of Velodyne's
Distortion Free Series for the automo-
bile, listeners finally have access to
all the details and dynamics that
make up the modern listening experi-
ence. Anything imperfect originates
elsewhere. By design, Velodyne
speakers are incapable of error.
to the amplifier. Forcing the speaker's acoustical output into a true
representation of the music.
The term "servo" is misused by some manufacturers who use a
different motor on their speakers to try and make woofers sound like
larger more powerful units. Unfortunately this usually results in a
large amount of distortion as well. At Velodyne, we take an already
large & powerful speaker, then use motional feedback to create a
true "servo" controlled speaker. This reduces distorion and achieves
a level of sound quality never before heard of.
