Council Bluffs, IA – June 2012 … Grund Audio Design, a pioneering manufacturer of loudspeaker and signal processing products for the audio professional, is pleased to announce the GT-LPB-24C subwoofer—the company’s latest addition to their popular GT Series product group. Featuring a lightweight, compact form factor and a host of additional attributes, the GT-LPB-24C subwoofer makes an outstanding choice for both fixed and portable sound reinforcement applications.

With a power rating of 800W RMS, the new Grund Audio Design GT-LPB-24C subwoofer is a high power, low profile sub bass system that is uniquely qualified for sound reinforcement applications where small format point source or line array loudspeaker systems are deployed. Because the GT-LPB-24C is comprised of two 12-inch low frequency transducers, this subwoofer has a frequency range that extends from 40 Hz through 250 Hz. As a result, the subwoofer has the ability to provide both the low end support characteristic of a sub bass system as well as the fundamental frequencies (80 Hz to 250 Hz) that are frequently diminished in smaller format point source or line array loudspeaker enclosures. The result is a subwoofer that nicely complements these smaller format loudspeaker systems—delivering a warm, full-bodied sound in the process. more
