PA & monitor speaker: LD Systems GT 12 A
With the LD Systems GT 12 A, the manufacturer from Neu-Anspach provides a full range speaker that is hard to beat in its price range. It is suitable for PA and monitor applications, the latter thanks to the integrated 54° angle. The woofer measures 12″ and the 1″ compression driver is provided by Celestion. Protection circuits against overvoltage or overcurrent and overload of the tweeter are also integrated. The 15 mm-thick MDF bass-reflex cabinet is coated with vinyl to protect the speaker from external impacts. The equipment includes a steel grille with honeycomb pattern, as well as a two-step tiltable stand flange.
