GPL-12HQ
12" coaxial with Constant Directivity waveguide
GPL-12HQ is a 12″ full-range loudspeaker from our GPL Series, engineered for precise, high-definition sound in professional installation environments.
Featuring a Beyma coaxial driver with a 4.0″ LF voice coil, GPL-12HQ delivers controlled coverage through its 80° x 40° rotatable constant directivity waveguide, ensuring accurate dispersion and consistent tonal balance across the listening area. This design provides greater flexibility for installations requiring directional focus and minimal reflections.
Constructed from birch plywood and available in black or white, GPL-12HQ combines elegant aesthetics with rugged durability. It includes a steel yoke bracket for quick installation and is compatible with optional WPB wall brackets, Powerdrive Series 100, and Omnimount Series 60 wall mounting systems.
With 450 W continuous (1800 W peak) power handling and up to 131 dB max SPL at 1 m, GPL-12HQ delivers exceptional clarity and output. FIR preset libraries and EASE .gll files are available for precise system tuning and seamless integration into any fixed installation.
