Loudspeaker firm Voxativ of Berlin is unusual. It's fronted by Inès Adler, a woman and accredited engineer*. That's exceedingly rare in our male-dominant sector. Next, certain of her speakers are crafted by Schimmel, a specialty German piano builder. Again there are only few precedents. For musical instrument builders turned loudspeaker makers, only Bösendorfer speakers, the Steinway project with Peter Lyngdorf and the Takamine collaborations with Onkyo and Kiso Acoustics come to mind. But there's more. Inès outfits her widebander speakers with her very own drive units.
