Know before you buy
These monitors are designed for near-field listening, making them ideal for home studios, professional mixing suites, and broadcast environments. Because they feature rear-panel room adjustment options, you can tune the frequency response to better suit the specific acoustics of your room.
The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter uses a folded ribbon design to move air more efficiently than a traditional dome. This results in a faster transient response and clearer high-frequency detail, which helps you make more precise decisions when EQing or balancing your mix.
No, the Gauss 7 is an active system, meaning the power amplifiers are built directly into the cabinet. Each speaker features a bi-amped Class D design that delivers 180 watts of total power, so you only need to connect your audio source and power cable.
Yes, the Gauss 7 is magnetically shielded. This allows you to place them in close proximity to computer monitors or other sensitive electronic equipment without worrying about interference or image distortion.
The Gauss 7 covers a frequency range of 30 Hz to 22,000 Hz. This wide response allows for accurate monitoring of both deep bass frequencies and delicate high-end detail without requiring a separate subwoofer in most standard-sized rooms.
