Velodyne and new beginnings — Redline Scotland Ltd (Copy)

Audio Reference CEO and Velodyne new owner, Mansour Mamaghani

Velodyne Acoustics was purchased by Audio Reference in Germany on November the 22nd in 2019. Roll on a little over a year and the wizards over at Velodyne have not 1, but at least 3 new products ready to unleash on the bass world.

Having been a distributer of Velodyne in Germany for more than 20 years Audio Reference already had unrivalled experience with the brand. The purchase extended to all stock, spares, patents, designs and tooling for Velodyne subwoofers, giving the guys and girls over at Audio Reference a great springboard to relaunch the company on the right foot and hit the ground running.

Upon completion of the purchase, the owner of Audio Reference, Mansour Mamaghani commented, “We are very excited with the opportunity presented by the Velodyne purchase. Our goal is to reinstate Velodyne as the market leader for compact high-powered subwoofers. We understand this will take some time, but we have already brought the Velodyne design team back together to review the existing product line and also our expectations for the future.”

Velodyne Acoustics is a very highly regarded brand, being market leaders in compact and high-performance subwoofers for at least twenty-five years. So fast forward one year from the purchase by Audio Reference, and it is great to witness Velodyne coming out of the gate swinging in 2021. With 3 new products ready to unveil to the world and at least one completely new subwoofer being released very early quarter 1.

In short, this year is looking to be very good for Velodyne and bass lovers everywhere and expect lots of news on the incoming products very soon…

Velodyneʼs global operation will now be based at the Audio Reference HQ in Hamburg, Germany and Redline will continue to distribute Velodyne in the UK.
