BASE
VELA
VELA and BASE are
the ideal complements needed by all loudspeakers. A linear and polished design
emphasizes the shape of the cabinets, the colours and wood
veneers underline the style coherence with the loudspeakers,
making high class and fashionable systems, at the same time
perfectly fitting every kind of environment.
But the superb design is not the only feature of this component.
We can't avoid saying how subtle is the mechanical working and
how exclusive is the finishing. But mostly is the used material
making the difference with similar products; aluminium,
more expensive than the commonly employed steel, but signed by
light weight and high damping. Without any doubt the ability to
stop unwilling vibrations is a positive factor, while is more
difficult to consider the lightness as a benefit. It is not
difficult to realise that a woofer, even if not big, can get
vibrating very heavy structures (a wall, for example) and most
probably the stands too, no matter of their weight. So, because
of the difficulty to stop vibrations in their arising, we think
it's better to contain the mass in order to reduce the related
energy. This is the reason why the stand is fulfilled with light
fibres instead of usual materials (sand, lead pellets) reaching
adequate damping without increasing the structure weight.
The so called "sail" of wood is not only an original
stylistic component, but it works out a specific task, performing
like a baffle under the woofer. All that causes an increased load
with consequent light accentuation of the frequency range
commonly identified as low-medium. So, in addition to the
comprehnsible considerations related to the aesthetic, this
property becomes important in speaker-stand assembling, making
preferable VELA in free standing places, or when you are
looking for a tone balance underlining the low-medium.
