About

About “Arte Forma” :
In early 2008 a bunch of friends who love music held a beautiful dream, driven by our passions, determined to create an audio brand by the name of our native land and culture: Arte Forma Audio.

In the creative aspects of audio products, we always believe that it is not just about technology, but an art, and we expect what we design is not simply just audio equipment. We hope all consumers to feel the deepest essence of music and soul through our audio gear.

As we always adhere to the “equipment is just a means, listen to beautiful music is the essence." We are committed to audio equipment operator interface more friendly. The range of products more in line with the needs of the market and we believe that beautiful audio equipment should allow the general audio fans can have a reasonable price. We always strive to make our products the most valuable audio equipment from Taiwan - Formosa.

Our History :
Arte Forma started out as a collection of experienced DIY hobbyists who came together to form a company that embodies the spirit of the DIY movement. The founding members have a diverse background, but the common factor is that each person is passionate about the reproduction of music. Members of Arte Forma are computer engineers, electrical engineers, retired air force and navy technicians, and communication industry specialists. Arte Forma is composed of 26 members. Each person is capable of building an amplifier from start to finish. This includes the CNC production stage. This is not a company headed by one or two engineers and a gaggle of workers assembling a product.

In the early days, we studied the designs of McIntosh, VTL, Audio Note, and Audio Research, looking to understand the framework of what lies underneath a successful amplifier design. Exposure to the work of the Uesugi Brothers injected a different perspective to their design philosophy. Specifications and component brand names were no longer important, now the optimization of every stage within the circuit becomes the focal point. The primary concern is the preservation of the incomingsignal, which is a challenging task that to some degree or another has thwarted many an amplifier designer.
