D&B GSL Package

A Symphony of Power and Precision

In the realm where sound becomes art, the d&b Audiotechnik GSL Series emerges as a beacon of innovation, crafted to elevate large-scale audio experiences to celestial heights. Comprising the GSL8 and GSL12 loudspeakers, this series is the pinnacle of the SL-Series, designed for stadiums, arenas, and festivals where sound must soar with clarity and power. These line array modules, with 80° and 120° horizontal dispersion respectively, harness groundbreaking cardioid technology to deliver precise directivity control down to 45 Hz, ensuring every note reaches the audience with pristine fidelity. The GSL’s advanced low-frequency response, driven by dual 14” front-facing and dual 10” side-firing neodymium drivers, creates a sonic foundation so robust it often negates the need for additional subwoofers, offering a symphony of depth and headroom that resonates in the hearts of listeners.

Engineering Poetry in Motion

The GSL Series is not merely a tool but a testament to engineering poetry, blending sophisticated design with practical brilliance. Each loudspeaker, powered by the d&b D80 amplifier in a two-way active configuration, features a coaxial mid-high section with a 10” midrange driver and three 1.4” exit compression drivers, ensuring seamless crossover transitions and consistent horizontal dispersion from 45 Hz to 18 kHz. The patented rigging system, with tension and compression modes, allows splay angles from 0° to 7° in 1° increments, making setup a dance of precision for up to 24 flown cabinets. Encased in weather-resistant polyurea-coated multiplex wood with acoustically transparent grilles, the GSL is built to withstand the elements while delivering sonic excellence, whether at a sunlit festival or an indoor arena, transforming venues into cathedrals of sound.

Art with Purpose

Beyond its technical prowess, the GSL Series embodies a commitment to “more art, less noise,” reducing stage spill and environmental impact through its cardioid design, which minimizes rear and side sound dispersion. This makes it a favorite for events like Massive Attack’s eco-conscious Bristol show or Singapore’s ZoukOut Festival, where high SPL meets stringent noise control. Its versatility shines in applications from EDM to orchestral performances, providing intelligible vocals and instrument separation even at peak volumes. With a legacy forged over four years of development, the GSL Series invites sound engineers and audiences alike to explore new dimensions of audio, where every performance becomes an unforgettable masterpiece, crafted with passion and precision.
