Living Voice Products
At the high-end of audio design, art and science merge.
The most revered audio designers are no longer strictly concerned with the objective
world of measurements and specifications.
Instead they explore the world of human expression and human sentiment as captured
in the recorded musical performance.
This is an exploration guided not by machines and technology, but by tacit knowledge,
intuition and musical sensibility.
There is a vast legacy of music captured on recordings dating back to the beginning of
the last century.
These recordings allow us to see into the times and the minds of the music’s composers
and performers with a remarkable sensitivity and clarity.
Music conveys the subtlety and fathomless depths of human experience and is one of
our most profound and affecting art forms.
All Living Voice products reflect our desire to provide the committed music enthusiast
with a coherent, artistically convincing and emotionally engaging experience.
This approach originally led us to develop the Auditorium loudspeaker design.
It remains the case today - if we can’t find a product we consider resolves a particular
issue to the performance level we aspire to, then we’ll examine the possibilities of creating
it ourselves.
This is rarely driven primarily by cost or marketing considerations in the conventional sense.
We prefer to think of it as a refusal to compromise (or enthusiastic bloody-mindedness, if you prefer).
Auditorium Series
It's important to anyone with a passion for music that their hi-fi system has a natural
tonal balance and more importantly an even and consistent dynamic balance.
Many people, and technophiles in particular, believe that this balance can be achieved
through objective quantitative analysis.
At Living Voice we have a different outlook.
We develop our products using our musical sensibility, and we measure our progress
against the artistic expression and emotional communication that we are able to realise
in recordings of significant musical performances.
The Auditorium Series consists of 4 models with the option of inboard (IBX) or outboard
(OBX) crossover electronics on the two top models.
OBX-RW3
The RW loudspeaker is the ultimate expression of our Auditorium design.
The only difference from the IBX-RW3 is the use of the external crossovers for optimum
performance (OBX variant), with a small gain of ultimate performance level.
The RWs benefit from almost four years of meticulously painstaking auditioning,
re-considering every detail and part of the loudspeaker from cabinet construction to component choice.
The result is a speaker which simply lets more music flow through, offering a palpable
performance of coherence, scale and musical significance irresistible to a true music lover.
