Vitavox has a long association with horn loudspeakers and professional drivers. Its components have also been incorporated into systems built by other specialist manufacturers.
Vitavox AK157-type 15-inch midbass drivers are reported within Spiritland’s bespoke Living Voice satellites. The credit is for components in the larger system.
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.
Vitavox equipment is recorded in this venue’s system. This does not imply that the manufacturer designed or installed the system.
Speakers: Klipschorn
Inside the system
The café lists Vitavox Klipschorn loudspeakers, a McIntosh MA2275 amplifier and a Garrard 401 turntable. Its arm and pickup entry names SME and Shure N97XE without an exact SME model. The Vitavox designation is retained as given, rather than equated with a current Klipsch product.
