Voxativ is a German maker of single-driver loudspeakers and full-range drive units, founded in Berlin by engineer Inès Adler and now based in Zossen, south of the city. Adler holds 14 patents from her earlier career at Mercedes-Benz, where she worked on diesel engine technology, and she began experimenting with wideband drivers in the 1980s. The company also builds valve amplifiers and sells its drivers to DIY builders and other loudspeaker makers.
Range & what it's known for
Speaker lines include Elektra, the Alberich² systems, Hagen² in tower and monitor form, and the Ampeggio family. The Ampeggio was created with Schimmel Pianos and puts the AC-3X neodymium driver into a back-loaded horn made of tone wood, offered in piano finishes, at EUR 16,900 per pair, with a claimed 98 dB efficiency and response from 38 Hz. Voxativ designs every driver part itself, using goat leather surrounds instead of foam and calligraphy paper diaphragms with its own lacquer. Top units such as the AC-X use field coil motors with an adjustable 6-18 V supply. Adler's Acoustic Stealth Technology uses computer modelling of wave propagation inside the horn to keep cabinets compact. The electronics side includes the T-805 and T-211 integrated amplifiers.
Who owns it and where it's made
Adler still owns and leads the firm privately. Drivers are developed and speakers designed and assembled on site in Zossen in the Berlin region. Its drive units, such as the AC 1.5 and the Permendur field coil AC-X, have also been supplied to other speaker brands.
The lineup in this catalog
Loudspeakers. Prices span roughly 5,000 to over 30,000 euros across the range.
Who it's for
A Voxativ speaker is crossover-free and built around one driver, so it belongs with low-powered amplifiers such as the company's own valve designs. The compact monitors and the Ampeggio are the usual entry, field coil models are the step up, and home builders working on their own cabinets can buy the full-range drivers on their own.
