Vox

Vox is a term with Latin origins meaning “voice” or “call.” In Latin, it appears in a variety of phrases that survive in modern English, including vox populi (the voice of the people) and vox Dei (the voice of God). The word also occurs in specialized contexts such as vox humana, the name given to a historic organ stop intended to imitate the human voice.

In contemporary media and culture, Vox refers to Vox Media, an American digital media company known for Vox.com and other brands such as The Verge, Eater, and SB Nation. Vox Media publishes explanatory journalism and opinion across technology, politics, science, and culture.

In music equipment, Vox is a British brand of guitar amplifiers and effects, renowned for the distinctive bright, chime-like tones of its AC-series amplifiers and for a wide range of pedals and gear used by players across genres.

The term vox also appears in everyday usage to denote the voice of an individual or the public, such as vox pop (short for vox populi), a method of gathering quick public opinions. The word is frequently styled in capitalized form as VOX when used in brands, titles, or proper names.

Across disciplines, vox functions as a compact way to reference voice, whether in language, media brands, or musical equipment.
