| Velodyne Acoustics is the industry leader in loudspeaker styling, performance, and value. Since the company's inception in 1983, Velodyne has been acclaimed by industry experts, audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts for its innovative designs, close tolerance manufacturing and exceptional performance.
The central theme of founder David Hall's vision was to limit or eliminate distortion from loudspeakers. Mr. Hall's background in the development of complex devices for accurate measurement of motion was first applied to the development of an HGS (High-Gain Servo) feedback system to measure and control the movement of large bass drivers in 1983. The resulting ULD (Ultra-Low Distortion) series of servo-controlled subwoofers was hailed as a breakthrough comparable in significance to that of Dolby Laboratories' noise reduction technologies. This patented technology reduced distortion in speakers from the 15-30% standard of the day to a previously unimagined level of lower than 1% at 105 dB. In doing so, Velodyne defined the modern subwoofer category and offered both audio and home theater the experience of low, accurate, dynamic bass performance. |
