Exploring a new Frontier.

New for 2023

Can you imagine a time when your audio system has no noise. How noise influences our world of music and how it affects signal, is a subject for Audio writers to explore. We have dedicated engineers who understand and continue to define the important role noise plays in audio design. Are we hearing our music the way we should?

At Caprice Audio, we have been exploring and expanding the current methods used for finding signal in a noisy world. We know that any new discovery has to be proven before its acceptance.

Introducing NMS™.

The Core is a unique multi-functional Noise Management calibration tool. Our desire to solve electronic noise inherit in music playback is a journey that began with the vinyl release in 1948 and continues to challenge us today. As you know, there is no straight line to success.

The fast development of digital high bandwidth technology presents a unique challenge to finding signal. In the early days of audio, cell phone towers and wifi did not exist. In this high tech world, it has become difficult to make our systems sound more like music. And it is particularly challenging relying on measuring tools as a biblical standard that often fail to capture all the acoustical aspects of a musical signal. After all, our best and most important instrument is human hearing.

Exploring new technology and implementing new methods to solve an age old problem has led to Caprice Audio's Core solution . The Core is for the novice user as well as the seasoned audiophile. The Core's proprietary interface is uniquely designed for equipment noise control, system calibration, and optimization.

Our new CA Core technology begins with the Slipstream™concept. Slipstreaming is the action of displacing noise from multiple equipment. The Core presents a uniquely fulfilling audio experience rendering even novice users expert hands on capability.

Shunting the noise floor.

It's no surprise to state all electronics contribute some level of electronic noise. We chose shunting as a solution to passively redirect and remove electronic noise without compromising signal quality. Listening to music with the Core noise management system is an ear opening experience.

The Core is designed to remove noise, form useable synergy, and promote optimization. Is this a bridge too far?

To fully maximize performance, an audio system requires noise reduction, optimization and custom calibration.

The Core is the first product to combine a user centric noise filtering system (Slipstream™), and a proprietary plug-n-play optimization system (PPOS™).

To achieve superior end to end performance, a system requires hands-on engagement by the user. By utilizing the Core's noiseless calibration tool, a budget audio system when properly optimized can outperform a superior non-calibrated system.

A bridge too far, not so according to...

Jay's Audio lab (You Tube) awarded the Rossofiorentino team of AudioThesis and Caprice Audio best Sound at 2022 Capital Audiofest. At Capfest 2023, we are exclusively showing a system calibrated by Caprice Audio's new Core technology.

The Core solution.

Achieving system synergy is always an issue with audio components, whether they are audiophile high-end quality or not.

Listen and compare.

Optimization made easier with the Core system. At Capital Audio Fest 2023, we introduce the new Oasis cable line. The complete Core System includes the Oasis interconnects, speaker cables and Slipstream X1. The Core optimization solution is a balanced system that helps users create a sound universe of music at home.

The Core builds on the excitement that you create.

The Core is performance driven answer to finding signal in a noisy world. We offer a universal solution that enable listeners to customize the finest performance from any current or future audio system.

Key summary.

Step 1. Slipstream technology uses a proprietary noise shunting system that reduces the noise floor across multiple devices including the speaker-amp interface.

Step 2. The PPOS™ is a user-friendly plug and play interface that aids in enhancing the performance of a system or device.

Step 3. A single Core makes it easy for Audiophiles to compare up to 20 possible sound configurations that can be personalized to match a music style.

Step 4. The Core system presents unique features that distinguishes it from any other optimization tool including DSP and ground boxes. The Core is more than a noise management system, it is an audio-centric tool for music lovers.

Note: There is a strong correlation between Core optimization and the listening room. While it is not recognized as a room correction tool, many users have experienced important changes in room response after calibration. Full explanation is available.

Solid-Core connection.

To experience the full Core effect, we highly recommend our Slipstream cables. The Slipstream X cable line provide a low impedance, low noise highly resolving performance. As an alternative, you can use your own cable with the Core.

History tour.

In 2017, Caprice Audio presented the original Mosaic Reference to headphone audiences in Denver, Washington, DC., Chicago and New York City. In Chicago, we received acknowledgement from HiFi+ Editors Chris Martens and Alan Sircom.

Reviews and feedback

Chris Martens Hi Fi+ 2018 review : "The new firm Caprice Audio showed its impressive new Mosaic Wave Stream hybrid Technology passive filter, which made for one of the more eye-opening demonstrations I heard at Canjam. Looking back over that last sentence it occurs to me that a more apt descriptor would be to call the Mosaic a passive noise floor reducer".
