Made for concert use, pro kits can play 100 times
louder than home kits. NASA, musicians, and DJs choose GS pro kits.
All use JBL 15" or 18" woofers and
titanium horns. The Who, ZZ Top Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson all use
JBL in concerts. JBL is U.S.-made, with cast frames, huge magnets, and vented
voice coils for best strength, bass, and power. While other speakers might use
stamped frame woofers or plastic piezo tweeters, Gold Sound performance kits
only use the best. The JBL parts in these kits are used in most concert halls,
recording-studios, and better clubs. Quality is far above others. A JBL 15"
has under 1% distortion at 120db. Double 15/18" have under 1% at 126db.
More costly competing models have over 10% distortion. Kits save you money
and give you the flexibility of custom building your kit in one box or
subwoofer/satellite;
All GS kits are 3 or 4-ways, which are "more
efficient, have less distortion, and maintain wide bandwidth," Loudspeaker
Handbook. Four-ways improve power and dispersion and lower the woofer-to-mid
crossover for quick bass.
GS kits use JBL titanium and constant-directivity
(CD) horns. "Better strength and reliability. CD horns are a standard,"
Sound and Communications. "CD horns coverage is wideband; great
virtue is smooth response on and off axis," Handbook of Sound System
Design.
GS kits' 100-Watt horns have 90 degree
horizontal dispersion, 40 degree vertical dispersion. "Wide horizontal
and limited vertical dispersion is good. Vertical dispersion sprays floor and
ceiling. Direct sound has greater clarity," Weems, How to Design and
Build Speaker Systems.
