A moment in time, preserved in an eternity of music.
In the 1920s, Paul Voigt created a horn loudspeaker that would become the foundation of modern Hi‑Fi.
The Voigt horn captures more than sound. It represents a moment in time when Great Britain was at the forefront of both engineering and creativity. From this single design grew a world of Hi‑Fi that changed the way people experienced music forever.
Our 2024 reproduction honours that original moment. Handcrafted in Britain, the horn is designed for the Field Coil Philharmonic drive unit, pairing Voigt's pioneering form with Lowther's most coveted instrument.
The result is both a tribute and a continuation: a timeless union of past and present. This is not just a loudspeaker - it is a piece of Hi‑Fi history, a moment in time, preserved in an eternity of music.

How We Made the Voigt Horn
4ft Voigt Hornは、すべてノーサンプトンの工房にて受注生産で手作りされています。英国の職人が、最初から最後まで丹精を込めて仕上げます。
強度と音の純度を両立させるため、高品質なバルティックバーチ合板を使用しています。すべてのパネルは手作業で切り出し、成形し、接合することで完璧な精度を実現しています。
天然木や特殊な突板など、豊富な仕上げの中からお選びいただけます。それぞれのペアは木目が自然につながるようブックマッチで仕立てられ、お部屋の空間に美しく調和します。
PM7A Philharmonicを含むドライブユニットは、私どものノーフォーク工房で組み立てられます。あらゆる部品が、世界最高峰の楽器と同じ基準で丹念に仕上げられています。
コーン紙は一枚ずつ手作業で処理を施し、自然乾燥のうえ日光にさらして硬化させます。この工程が、Lowtherならではの自然な音色を生み出します。
木材から配線に至るまで、あらゆる要素が幾世代にもわたる耐久性を備えるよう作られています。Lowtherは単なる製品ではなく、時とともに美しさを増していく楽器です。
切断も、接合も、仕上げも、そのすべてを手作業で。長年の経験を積んだ職人が一台一台に向き合い、妥協なき品質をお届けします。
