Volt Powers Lockwood Loudspeakers

Volt Powers Lockwood Loudspeakers in a remarkable collaboration that blends classic British studio heritage with cutting-edge audio engineering. Known for supplying premium drivers to top-tier brands like PMC and Kerr Acoustic, Volt Loudspeakers has now reimagined the iconic dual concentric driver, powering a new generation of Lockwood loudspeakers. Revered for its point-source accuracy and natural imaging, the dual concentric design – originally a studio standard from the golden era of British broadcast – now benefits from a meticulous redesign, enhancing performance while faithfully preserving its legendary sonic signature.

This next-gen driver features a completely re-engineered cast-aluminium chassis, eliminating the traditional gasket through a flush-mounted surround design. By switching from mechanical fixings to aerospace-grade adhesives, Volt Powers Lockwood Loudspeakers with a more rigid and acoustically precise structure. A hand-sanded finish and a two-stage matte black coating with a soft, suede-like texture elevate both aesthetics and performance. The updated ‘Pepper Pot’ waveguide, precision-drilled for consistent high-frequency dispersion, ensures the smooth and coherent response audiophiles demand. Alnico magnets – critical for preserving tonal warmth – remain, while new aluminium shorting rings in both LF and HF motors further refine clarity and reduce distortion.

Volt also introduced a newly tooled rubber half-roll surround, replacing foam for enhanced low-frequency stability and long-term reliability. The geometry of the paper pulp cone remains true to its heritage, yet improved with modern treatments for durability and resistance to discolouration. By blending era-defining voicing with state-of-the-art materials, Volt has delivered a “respectful evolution” of a studio legend.
