At the AXPONA Audio Show this week in Chicago, Voxativ GmbH is marking the US debut of a new line of affordable, plug+play, all-in-one Absolut systems, starting at $6,700. This is the Berlin-born brand’s first integrated package to include both a pair of Voxativ loudspeakers in combo with a new integrated amp/DAC. At launch, there are three configurations available, including the Absolut FIT (Five-Inch driver Tower) $6,700, Absolut Hagen (5” driver monitors) $7,900 and Absolut Zeth (8” driver towers) $12,900.
Providing both amplification and digital source capabilities, the accompanying Absolut Box is a new Class AB integrated amp with built-in DAC optimized to make the most of the designated loudspeaker via amplification power and custom DSP. Not only is this Voxativ’s first solid state amp, but it is also their first digital source component, allowing for a complete Voxativ system from DAC to drivers. The inspiration for this new integrated system approach was to create a Voxativ quality system for music lovers that isn’t complicated. To play music, all you need is a smartphone or computer to losslessly stream your music files or favorite services like Qobuz or TIDAL.
According to chief designer Holger Adler, “Everything has been optimized to make the most of our horn-loaded wide-banders. To do this, we brought together some of the most verboten audio ingredients - Wifi, Bluetooth, solid-state, DSP, switching power supply - into a very special sounding recipe that challenges conventional audiophile prejudices. No one part makes or breaks a system — it’s how it’s all brought together. We even surprised ourselves.”
