Avid has introduced the M-Audio GSR active sound reinforcement loudspeaker series for small- to mid-sized venues. Built from the ground up by the same engineering team behind the industry-leading M-Audio studio reference monitor line, the GSR series includes 10-inch and 12-inch full-range PA cabinets that deliver exceptional, professional-quality sound, and an 18-inch subwoofer that offers extended bass reproduction for larger venues.
The GSR10 250-watt and GSR12 300-watt two-way active PA loudspeakers feature neodymium magnets in the low-frequency drivers, substantially reducing overall weight to enable easy set-up and transport between venues.
The GSR18 500-watt active subwoofer features four locking casters that make it easy for customers to roll the sub into position. All three models are built with lightweight, ultra-efficient Class D amplifiers, which provide sustained high-output levels with minimum distortion and extremely low heat, so customers will experience clear, even sound through extended periods of use.
Additional features include:
* Four EQ presets for optimizing the GSR10 and GSR12.
* Variable low-frequency crossover functionality in the GSR18 for tuning in relation to full-range loudspeakers.
* Proprietary OptImage wave guide technology in the GSR10 and GSR12 models.
* GSR10 and GSR12 can be deployed via built-in 1.4-inch pole mounts, suspended from M10 integrated fly-points, or stacked and locked on top of each other.
* GSR18 has an integrated 1.4-inch stand receptacle for added versatility.
“We are very excited about the possibilities this new speaker series will bring to musicians and DJs working in small to mid-sized venues,” said Tanguy Leborgne, vice president, Creative Enthusiasts at Avid. “We’ve applied our world-class speaker design expertise to build a versatile sound reinforcement speaker series that offers a level of sound quality typically only available in higher-priced options.”
The GSR10 is available in certain regions worldwide beginning September 13 for $499 US MSRP. The GSR12 is available worldwide September 10 for $629 US MSRP. The GSR18 is available worldwide beginning November 1 for $999 US MSRP.
