Vinnie Rossi Brama Collection
VINNIE ROSSI BRAMA COLLECTION ELECTRONICS LAUNCHED
Vinnie Rossi has always been driven by a passion for engineering two-channel audio components marked by innovative design.
After seventeen years of honing his craft with a series of commercially successful and acclaimed products, Vinnie Rossi is proud to introduce the Vinnie Rossi Brama Collection. In Italian, the word “Brama” means a strong craving or desire.
VINNIE ROSSI BRAMA COLLECTION
After a 2-year research and development process, Rossi states “Brama opens a new chapter for our brand and demonstrates to the world our strong commitment to designing and manufacturing innovative, reference-grade audio components at the highest level.”
For the Brama Collection of integrated Amplifier, Preamplifier, and Stereo Power Amplifier, Rossi teamed with Montreal-based industrial designer Olivier Raymond (Porsche Design, Mercedes-Benz) to achieve what Raymond describes as “a timeless design statement that is positively unadorned and sheltered from passing trends – redefining indulgence in the most elegant and enduring fashion.”
VINNIE ROSSI BRAMA COLLECTION FEATURES
The Vinnie Rossi Brama Collection features independent, Class A, 300B directly-heated triode and solid-state linestage sections, with the ability to switch between them via a press of a button on the Brama Remote. 350Wrms per channel of power into 4-ohm for the Brama Integrated Amplifier and 500Wrms per channel into 4-ohm for Brama Stereo Power Amplifier. A 100-step precision resistor ladder volume control, fully balanced input/outputs, home-theatre bypass, as well as memory inputs that save independent settings for each input, including Gain, Triode %, Balance, Phase, and Stereo/Mono listening mode.
The custom-designed 1750VA, shielded power supply transformer has dual secondary windings to feed independent, dual-mono linear power supply PCBs for both the preamplifier and power amplifier sections. Ultrafast soft recovery diodes, massive filter capacitors, and super-regulated outputs deliver dynamics with very low noise.
Protection against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, and over-current is present on all outputs. Diagnostics are sent to the Brama Remote for easy viewing.
The chassis is machined from solid aluminium-6063R billet that is finely bead-blasted, anodized.
TOTAL CONTROL
As well as the Swiss-made, precision-stepped rotary switches that give manual control an incredibly satisfying feel. There is the new Brama Remote control, which offers an intuitive menu structure, high-resolution display with adjustable backlighting, Bluetooth communication, ambient light sensing, accelerometer, USB-C connectivity for battery charging and firmware updates, and a body machined from a solid block of aluminium.
There are bespoke analogue gauges with precision air core movements, machined aluminium hands, and adjustable backlighting. Sapphire glass and highly-polished stainless steel bezels seamlessly integrate the gauges to the front panel.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICING
All three Brama components will be available for order in November 2021 and will begin to ship to Vinnie Rossi distributors and dealers in late 2021 / early 2022.
