GRUND AUDIO DESIGN ANNOUNCES GQ SERIES™LOUDSPEAKERS

Solid performance characteristics and versatile design for numerous
applications

Council Bluffs, IA – February 2014… Grund Audio Design, a pioneering
manufacturer of loudspeaker and signal processing products for the audio
professional, is pleased to announce the new GQ Series loudspeakers.
Encompassing five new models manufactured using MDF enclosures that are
internally braced to ensure cabinet rigidity, the GQ Series loudspeakers are
available in passive or active designs and are ideal for use by performing
musicians and DJs as well as being an outstanding choice for event
production, corporate AV, and education.

The new GQ Series loudspeakers consist of the GQ-10, GQ-12. GQ-15, GQ-153,
and GQ-18S. The GQ-10, GQ-12, and GQ-15 are 2-way designs that employ a
1-inch high frequency compression driver with rotatable horns mated to their
respective low frequency transducer. The GQ-153 is a 3-way design
encompassing a 1-inch high frequency compression driver with rotatable horn,
an 8–inch mid driver, and a 15-inch low frequency transducer. The GQ-18S is
a sub bass system featuring an 18-inch low frequency transducer in a bass
reflex enclosure.

The Grund Audio Design GQ Series loudspeakers are very versatile and make a
great choice for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications. The GQ-10
and GQ-12 are not only excellent PA-type enclosures; they can also be
positioned on the side for use as floor monitors. The GQ-10, GQ-12, and
GQ-15 all have pole cups so that they may easily be mated with the pole
cup-equipped GQ-18S subwoofer—effectively creating a full range “speaker on
a stick” setup for projects that require rich full range performance.

All Grund Audio Design GQ Series loudspeakers are finished with a durable,
black polyurethane coat as frequently found in spray-on truck bed liners.
This protective finish is resistant to scrapes and, equally important, helps
protect the inner components by keeping moisture and dirt at bay. The
protective finish also maintains its appearance for years.

For the self-powered (active) GQ Series models, power ranges from 200-800
watts. The versatile multichannel inputs found on these amplifiers include
an XLR balanced microphone input, a ¼-inch line input, and RCA inputs for
use with CD players and similar equipment. Equally notable, any two sources
can be mixed internally. With their durable, built-in power amplifiers, the
GQ Series active loudspeaker enclosures make a great sounding, versatile PA
system that transports easily and simplifies system cabling.

Frank Grund, President of Grund Audio Design, commented on the company’s new
GQ Series loudspeakers. “Our new GQ Series loudspeakers are extremely
versatile, great sounding enclosures that are ideal for everything from
mobile DJs and performing musicians through corporate AV and education. The
ability to pole mount the GQ-10, GQ-12, or GQ-15 on top of the GQ-18S
subwoofer creates an easy to transport, full range sound reinforcement
system that delivers a high level of speech intelligibility and clear,
natural sounding music reproduction. The powered models have versatile
mixing capability that makes them a terrific choice for schools, corporate
AV, and education usage. And with their rugged, polyurethane finish, these
loudspeakers can easily withstand the bumps and scrapes that loudspeakers
typically encounter while retaining their like new appearance. I’m confident
these loudspeakers are well-suited to a wide range of general sound
reinforcement applications.”

The passive Grund Audio Design GQ Series loudspeakers are expected to be
available Q1 2014. The Active GQ Series loudspeakers will follow later. MSRP
pricing has not yet been determined.
