The GSFX is a completely new design from Monitor Audio. Its dual mode configuration (dipole or monopole) can be switched manually (front panel) or remotely via 12-volt trigger to accommodate a range of surround sound and multi-channel audio applications.
The speaker's slim-profile, angled baffle design incorporates three completely separate driver pairs. When used in monopole mode to reproduce discrete side or rear channels, only the front-firing 6½-inch C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminum Magnesium) woofer with RST (Rigid Surface Technology) and 1-inch C-CAM tweeter are active. In dipole mode the GSFX uses two side-firing pairs of 4-inch C-CAM midrange drivers and 1-inch C-CAM tweeters combined with the tailored output from the front-firing woofer to provide loud, diffuse surround effects.
The GSFX is ‘ambidextrous' meaning the speaker can be configured as right or left "handed" during installation (via front panel switch) so the polarity of the front speakers is in phase with the GSFX surrounds.
The tweeter level can be adjusted to a raised, normal, or reduced level (via front panel switch). GS-FX speakers are single-packed so you can create 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 theater configurations. Wall-mounting hardware is included.
Other GSFX features include:
- Clamp plates made of die-cast aluminum and zinc secure the cast aluminum GS driver chassis to the cabinet providing tremendous resonance cancellation and damping.
- We've employed the time-honored quality of traditional tongue-and-groove jointing and extensive vertical and radial internal bracing for extraordinarily strong and rigid cabinets.
- New die-cast alloy cable terminal panels.
- Smooth, contoured cabinet edges and select premium quality finishes on all surfaces give the GS range a sumptuous modern appearance. All GS models are available in Santos Rosewood, Walnut, and Cherry ‘matched' wood veneers, or a Piano Black Lacquer veneer. Our matched pairs use wood sheets cut from the same log section to assure color and grain consistency.
The GSFX performs brilliantly as rear surround speakers in combination with GS60, GS20, GS10, or GSLCR front Left-Center-Right speakers or as rear surrounds in any system.
