Hand-made in Switzerland

Qualität dank Handarbeit

VOVOX® sound conductors are hand-assembled in Switzerland. Also the production of the cables is carried out with partners located in Switzerland or close to the border in neighboring countries. Suppliers from overseas are an option only in case VOVOX's quality requirements are so specific that they cannot be fulfilled locally.

Weshalb VOVOX?
Why VOVOX?

We must admit: We are not passionate about cables. It’s our enthusiasm for music that motivates us to search for better possibilities of transmitting sound signals as flawlessly as possible without losing any sound information. Our goal is the creation of the perfect sound conductor: One cannot hear its existence. It must not blur the sound or cover up any part of it. It must not add any color. All it has to be is a true link between the listener and music in its purest form!
We don’t produce “Jazz” or “Rock” cables, altering sound according to specific musical styles. Musicians and sound engineers should be creative. Cables, however, have only one task: To transmit sound signals without any loss.
Was ist anders und speziell?
What is different and unique?

The most important question for us is how one can eliminate negative influences on signal transmissions most efficiently and absolutely. It is not our aim to compensate loss or conceal disturbances with complex cable constructions. On the contrary, we do everything we can to prevent such flaws from arising. We try to find the source of adverse influences in order to be able to eliminate them as effectively as possible. Our concept of reduction leads to cable constructions which amaze at first sight due to their simplicity, but will convince you fully just after having heard the first notes.

We firmly believe that solid wires are better conductors for audio signals than stranded wires. You will find that the resulting sound speaks for itself. Material science also supports this aspect: solid wires have a smaller surface area, fewer impurities, and fewer undesirable interactions.

The crystalline structure of the copper is also crucial. The size, shape and orientation of the copper crystallites have an audible effect on the sound. Ensuring the most optimal crystal structure, is one of our key competences.

Each conductors within a cable must fulfil specific functions. In most cables, the shielding braid is also used as the return signal conductor. This is not an option for us. We consequently separate these functions. Therefore we use an additional conductor for the return signal (i.e. audio ground). This may be in a more complex construction, yet it results clearly in better sound quality.

Geschichte
History

VOVOX was founded in 2002 by material engineer Jürg Vogt. Prior to the foundation, new products were developed over five years of intensive research. Initially with musician Kaspar Kramis, whose initial ideas substantially co-influenced the cables, many prototypes and concepts were created and tested. It was only a short time before the founding of the company when Jürg Vogt had the break-through and invented the novel design of the cables. This design is the reason for the uniqueness of VOVOX sound conductors and forms the basis of their outstanding sound quality as well as of their optimal handling properties for solid-core cables.VOVOX converted scepticism into enthusiasm in no time. The company succeeded in convincing many professional musicians and sound engineers that VOVOX and their sound conductors were definitely in a league of their own.
