Living Voice (Kevin Scott)

Kevin Scott’s Living Voice designs loudspeakers in Long Eaton, England. Alongside its product range, the company develops large bespoke horn systems for dedicated listening spaces.

Design & approach

Living Voice designs and manufactures its equipment in England. Its own film series follows Kevin Scott’s approach to listening and system building, alongside the work of Definitive Audio. The films give useful context for the company’s installations: the loudspeaker is considered within a complete playback chain and a particular listening environment.

Custom installation

Kevin Scott designed a bespoke Living Voice horn system for Spiritland’s King’s Cross room. Its four-way satellites and separate bass cabinets form the centre of the installation.

  • Main speakers: Bespoke four-way horn-loaded satellites with 15-inch midbass
  • Subwoofers: Two large bespoke bass cabinets

Inside the system

Living Voice developed bespoke four-way horn-loaded satellites with 15-inch midbass drivers and two large bass cabinets under Kevin Scott’s direction. An Atelier du Triode 300B valve amplifier, listed at approximately 30 W Class A, serves the horns; two custom 500 W MOSFET amplifiers power the bass. The source collection includes Isonoe-modified Technics decks with Audio-Technica AT-XP7 cartridges and an Isonoe rotary mixer, plus a Kuzma Stabi XL-series deck with an ART1000 cartridge. Tascam DA-3000, Revox B77, Studer A730 and Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 sources add digital and tape formats. Apart Mask 6T speakers with REVAMP4120T amplification provide café fill. The split between main horns, bass cabinets and fill speakers is central to the room’s architecture.
