DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY

Veloce Audio holds dear a few simple concepts:

• Embrace and explore all technologies, new and old

• Keep it simple - pure sound often flows from simple circuits

• Avoid AC power at all costs in every way possible – DC rules

• Wrap unique technology in timeless packages

Because of these beliefs, Veloce has developed unique approaches to traditional audio problem areas. One of these is the power supply. Rather than use the AC mains to feed a conventional power supply, we have designed a hybrid battery/AC system for our LS1 linestage. In this design, no AC mains power, converted, filtered or transformed, touches the audio circuits. This high-voltage battery supply essentially eliminates a multitude of problems with traditional supplies, leaving the musical signal pure, unsullied by the hash and noise of dirty AC power. We call this design Hybrid Clean Power™. Also unique, our battery power management system, SmartSupply™, switches between charge and operate modes seamlessly and without any user intervention. The playtime of the unit (without recharging) is over 100 hours!

Other new technologies include a unique biasing system for the tube-based gain stage, which we call UltraBias™. This active biasing method works in concert with our Hybrid Clean Power™ supply to provide the tube cathodes with an electron-rich voltage source. This bias current automatically adjusts for changing battery conditions and reduces distortion by significant margins.

More exciting technical developments are yet to come. They will be highlighted on this page so stay tuned!
