Voxativ AC-XHB – The Hybrid Crown

At the very summit of loudspeaker artistry stands the AC-XHB – the world’s first true hybrid field coil driver. Designed for the most discerning audiophile, it is a synthesis of ingenuity and craftsmanship that redefines what is sonically possible.

This extraordinary driver fuses two magnetic worlds: an internal neodymium ring creates passive magnetic stability, while an active field coil system delivers controlled electromagnetism. Together, they form the most advanced magnet motor ever built—producing a colossal 24,000 Gauss within an extended magnetic gap for absolute linearity, ultra-low distortion, and breathtaking resolution.

At its heart lies a hand-finished wooden cone made from tonholz—the same aged resonant wood used in fine violin making—framed by a supple goat leather surround. This noble structure responds with unmatched agility and subtlety, revealing the finest emotional contours of music.

And should you forget to power the field coil? The AC-XHB still plays—beautifully, reliably—making it not only the most refined, but also the most forgiving of its kind.
