"After rebuilding the ARTHANOR Productions studio’s acoustics, I was looking for the most reliable sound conductors to accommodate a wide range of services such as mastering, audio restoration, transfers of original analog masters, recording and mixing. I first ordered a few Vovox cables and was amazed that they did not only provide the reliability I was looking for, but also presence and transparency for the most critical audiophile applications. Vovox sound conductors immediately became my first choice and were installed throughout the studio’s analog signal paths. In early January 2008, international star Petula Clark inaugurated the new studio by recording two new songs with Vovox sound conductors, and the result was outstanding. ARTHANOR Productions aim to serve artists, music and sound, and Vovox sound conductors are a definite asset to achieve this goal."

"Once heard, there's no other conclusion to be made: VOVOX for the complete signal path, please! Seriously: VOVOX sound conductors aren't cheap. Nevertheless, the added benefits as well as the resulting dramatic sound quality improvement they offer make them very cost effective."

"After completely rewiring my studio and going through the experience of some test recordings, I'm simply under the impression that I'm working in a totally new studio! I can use my equipment and tools in new ways. It's really amazing! Some examples: The mix-down process has been simplified, and my sense of hearing remains fresh for longer stretches of time. And finally, when comparing the result with reference recordings, one can still recognize the original, personal sound, but now with the magic touch I was always looking for. There is no esoteric trick, the sound is simply there! Being able to mix the music creatively with the result being of so-called international sound quality standard is a blessing. There is no fiddling about till one's ears are overloaded, just let it happen and be happy with the result - wonderful!
Besides the great sound presence, I'm especially pleased with the lower, bass end. The painful droning, and annoying, unwanted resonating frequencies are finally gone. The only disadvantage: I can't stand my older recordings anymore, after hearing things that were neglected and are now, in contrast, taken care of. The thing I was looking for is now here. These cables make my work considerably easier!"

"To be totally honest, having the opportunity to wire up a whole new control room with VOVOX cables is truly a pleasure for the ears! My goal of achieving a natural 3-dimensional sound image by making authentic music recordings in acoustic rooms is perfectly supported by these unique 'electric iron cables'. Anyone not familiar with them should directly attend to changing that. An absolute must for every musical sound engineer."

" It was clear from the start that we'd only settle for the best ingredients for our new mastering studio. Despite, or actually because of, the fact that cables and other 'details' like power supply are often either treated as HiFi-madness or completely neglected, we decided to conduct a blind-fold test to get to the bottom of the matter. We tested 5 different cables of only one meter's length. That's not much, but it was enough to provide significant results. We played 3 different songs from our ½" tape recorder through each cable to the cutting system. We always used the same converters, levels and signal paths for the listening session, of course. The result was astonishing. The blind-fold test was conducted by 5 different sound engineers and musicians. Although the differences were small and psychoacoustic effects can't be excluded, they were significant. And this with only a one meter cable-length on line level - imagine the difference a 30 m microphone cable would produce! There was no winner eclipsing the others in all disciplines (stereo image, bass definition, presence, sound intensity) with all pieces of music, but clear tendencies were detected. Keep the one meter line level in mind!
For us, VOVOX emerged to be the over-all winner. It offered an open, yet not sharp sound, and a warm, but not dim, low end. In addition, the stereo image was more 3-dimensional when compared to other cables' images. We're very satisfied with the result and don't regret the investment, since our 'darling' is wired only once and we don't settle for second-best."

"The difference between conventional Pro-Audio cables and VOVOX sound conductors isn't just "splitting hairs" or subtle audio esoterics, in my opinion. It's my experience that with VOVOX, the transients and sound textures become crystal- clear and highly musical. Incredible density, openness and richness of detail allow the sound to become a stunning experience. I'd say it's almost rude to have waited with unveiling this great sounding cable till now…"

"Given the unique opportunity to build a compromise-free high end studio from scratch, we evaluated all equipment components during numerous listening sessions. All well-established cables available on the market were included. We were extremely amazed that for the first time, all those involved unanimously agreed. It is surely not a matter of taste: There are several good cables available, but only one sound conductor. The consequence of using VOVOX was an obvious improvement of sound quality: The richness in detail, directness of sound and mainly the natural character of the stereo-image were unequaled. Using VOVOX, it seemed as though the music was not coming out of the loud speakers any more: It simply was in the room. Incredible! "
