PROFESSIONAL LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS

The more youre preoccupied with the small things


the bigger they appear to be.

This way or other you can imagine the engineers work at this small successful company situated in
the Westfalian Werther in Germany. With GAE its the interaction of the tiny details that creates
innovations.

Since 25 years GAE has been one of the biggest participants/competitors in the acoustic branch,
allowing itself only one piece of luxury: a character of its own. This is reflected as well in the
products and the great variety of projects maintained in Germany an abroad as in the quantity of
professional event-services that make use of GAE-products.

There is only one thing more important than sound pressure: control. Thats why the electronic
components as well as the performed enclosures and drivers are applicable to extreme conditions
und promise unlimited usability.

With GAE innovations start in the brain then going ahead to perfection. There are speakers mirroring
our times and there are ones being ideal visions. The GAE Director System (with so called
TwinCoaxPointSource Technology) for instance does not reflect modern times but represents a
paradigm big speaker-builders model on.

In future this company not only wants to accomplish the present but to make visions come true. It
actually is being worked on new systems which -again by the interaction of details- will become
innovations!

Flexible Contouring by Vertical Character.

Being in the top ranking concerning performance and quality of the GAE-range WaveLine
loudspeakers convince outstandingly and define new benchmarks in the field of sound engineering.
An extensive bandwidth of scaling, highly efficient applications and a remarkably simple operability
allow a multitude of challenging sound engineering solutions.

WAVELINE

The GAE Director Waveline line-array system represents the


result of an intensive physical and economic investigation into
the market necessities in the field of touring and installation.
Based on the experience of users and consultants a huge
variety of approaches have been considered. The essence of
these reflections builds special options for the development and
designing the Waveline System has been put into practice:

The combination of two 10 Neodymium transducers of the


low-/mid range, each incorporating a 3 voice coil, allows a
very low crossover frequency, which raises drastically the
power handling capacity. This way the Waveline System is
suitable for non-restrictive full range use. The GAE HF-Phase-
EQ coupled to a high power 2 Neodymium-driver achieves an
accurate and highly exact sound conduction in the high-tone
range, which results in an extended high frequency bandwidth.

The construction determines an extremely low


crossover frequency to the compression driver
which optimizes the horizontal dispersion of the
system. Because of the high radiation-resistance
the overall system comes up with an outstanding
mid-tone performance. As the double-10-
construction enables a low tuning frequency of
80Hz, a smooth transition to a subwoofer,
employed in ground stacking, is guaranteed.
Beyond that the GAE Waveline System displays
an enormous efficiency in full range application.

Deduced from the experiences made with the


twin-coaxial principle used with the GAE Director
Top an extremely exact symmetric dispersion will
be established in the Waveline System. The
overall construction is left/right symmetric, thus
a concise utilization for the user and fitter
results.

WAVELINE
Furthermore the development aimed at the
realization of an economic array-length-/prize-
proportion. To reach this goal each Waveline
element has been outfitted with a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms in the high- as well as in
the low-/mid-tone range, thus three elements
can be operated at one amplifier. In this way
by the help of only three elements and one
amplifier a vertical angle of 30 can be
achieved as minimal configuration. This
elemental set-up can be extended with further
Waveline elements. By employing modern
system controllers the peripheral electronics
equipment can be limited to a sensible
measure.

Users already owning a GAE Director System can easily


make use of the Waveline System as the pre-existing amp-
racks can be operated compatibly. The only item needed
additionally is an 8-pin-CaCom adapter box on Neutrik 4-
pin-Speakon.

For flying mechanics only high quality and determinate


materials are applied. The load distribution is forwarded
solely in the flight elements. Apart from locking quick
release pins no bulk parts are needed.

The very discreet flying mechanic is let in the


loudspeakers enclosure without attracting attention.
On request the handles on the front can be removed
and the lateral recesses covered. The whole process of
mounting- and demounting has been optimally
matched to all users demands.

GAEs WaveLine PT Bass is a high power
subwoofer system, equipped with a 12" high
performance sub low loudspeaker, equipped
with a 4" voice coil and an extremely heavy-
duty Neodymium engine. The system
captivates with high efficiency within its
extended low frequency range, which was
achieved by a very special tunnel geometry. In
this way the system features a remarkable low
frequency efficiency/housing dimension ratio.
The system offers a high dynamic behaviour,
generated by using a significantly adjusted
parameters loudspeaker with high magnetic
flux.

The WaveLine PT Bass can be combined as top


flown element with WaveLine PT ele-ments
within a line, as well as a separate and parallel
hung bass-line with a couple of PT Bass
systems. Used with the stack cradle the PT
Bass serves as basic element at the bottom of
the line.

The impedance of 8 ohms enables a parallel


operating of 3 WaveLine PT Bass systems at
one channel of a modern high power amplifier.

The system is designed to be operated by a


standard configurated third path of a 3-way
system, also parallel driven to a standard bass
ground support. No special equalization is
necessary, thus a simple parallel combination
with all of GAEs BR-types is possible.

Power is a question of detailed profiling

On technological as well as acoustic aspects the Director-series represents GAEs top-quality product
at the moment. The systems have been developed on the basis of the latest achievements and
materials thus a long product cycle is guaranteed.

Highest acoustic capacities meet a compact construction thereby allowing an economic application of
materials so that practically all demands can be satisfied. From the stacked stand-alone-system up
to the flown cluster-application the Director-system convinces with the highest degree of flexibility
and tonal experience.

DIRECTOR TOP
GAE Director Top is a 2-way-active, 60 x 40 twin-coaxial high Q
loudspeaker system comprising two specially constructed 12 cone
drivers with 4 voice coil diameter, 220mm ceramic magnets and a
1,4 Neodymium-compression driver with 3 titan membrane in a
horn loading.

The outstandingly compact high tone driver allows an extremely


tight installation of the loudspeakers chassis. Thereby the 12 horn
drivers are mounted as close as possible above each other whereas
the compact horn/driver combination is located in the middle and
directly in front of the drivers. This grouping is acoustically perfect
and achieved by a very elegant construction.

Only a few screws have to be disconnected and the backside of the


Director Top can be removed, thus a quick access to the system
driver is obtained. With the help of a high voltage plug the rear
cover including the connection terminal can be dismounted which
simplifies the service.

The mid horns mouth spans the whole front side. Two phase plugs which are installed in front of the
mid tone drivers ensure an optimal compression rate.

To avoid interfering reflections the form of the phase plugs has been optimised in a way that
together with the high frequency horn they build a homogeneous unity. This way sound parts which
are deflected at the edge of the HF-horn are kept from colliding with the middle horn thereby
creating interferences. The hemispheric ends of the phase plugs barricade the way of misguided
reflections which leads to an early and diffuse diversion without negative consequences for the
frequency- and impulse response. Due to this elaborate mechanical construction an outstanding
frequency response of the mid- and high-tone bandwidth is achieved. The interaction of the different
construction parts produces a perfectly symmetrical directivity. Additionally the HF-driver is
electronically protected against DC and acoustical pressure load.

The components are protected by a stable front grill which is backed with acoustic foam.

All these constructive and technical details add up to an extraordinary size/power proportion.

DIRECTOR BASS-S

In its basic form the Director Bass-S is matched to the Director Top
and Bass, forming a modular and extremely flexible completion to
the Director Series. The enclosure is of very elaborate dimensions,
thus two Single-Basses put on top of each other offer an optimal
working height for the top-unit for lots of applications. In
comparison with the Director Bass the Single Bass offers a lower
tuning frequency achieved by an increased enclosure volume and
thus obtains an even lower sub-low-fundament. The Director Bass-S
in combination with the Director Bass then at a nominal
impedance of round about 2ohms allows a state-of-the-art
amplifier to proof its capability.

SYSTEM

Give your fancy full scope systematically

The System-series of GAE consists of a construction-kit of different loudspeaker-systems that can


substitute standard elements currently popular. These sound reinforcement systems represent an
enormous flexibility as well as a perfect design and up-to-date acoustic characteristics. The
loudspeakers assimilate to their environment always offering a brilliant acoustic result. Because
its the interaction of the small details that makes visions become innovations.

System 6

The GAE System 6 is an extremely compact passive 2-way system with high power
capacity. Because of its manageable and unintrusive construction the loudspeaker is applicable to a
great number of tasks.

The 6 transducer is vented and enables high loading capacity. The high frequencies are transmitted
by a horn-loaded 1 compression driver. This combination produces a convincingly natural sound
and a perfect audibility. In comparison with other high frequency loudspeakers the System 6
produces significantly less distortion at high sound pressure levels. An elaborate passive crossover
subdivides the input signal in low/mid and high frequency range thereby providing an extraordinarily
mellow and natural sound.

The multi-layered, birch-ply enclosure is sealed with a black structure varnish by standard. Different
RAL colours are available. The loudspeakers baffle and its components are protected by a solid
metal front grill which is covered by a stylish acoustic foam. On demand this foam can be delivered
in different colours.

For mounting with optional accessories the System 6 enclosure has been supplies with M8 threaded
shafts (2 on the right side, 1 on the bottom and 1 on the top). Two M6 threaded shafts on the back
allow an attachment of an optional wall mounting kit UB6/w. If needed a 35mm stand flange can be
attached to the underneath in combination with UB6/v.

The connectors are of the Neutrik Speakon NL4 type. An connection diagram on the back describes
the internal switching. The 16ohms nominal impedance enables a simple linking of numerous
systems attached to one amplifier channel.

Characteristics

- very compact full-range loudspeaker system


- applicable for touring as well as installation
- excellently suitable for short and medium throw
- can be ideally employed as front-fill and/or for underbalcony mounting
- offering studio monitoring quality for live applications

Bass: An element of gut feeling

As the deep frequencies of the audio reinforcement specter are fundamental for each musical
expression the development of the subwoofer demands GAEs utmost attention.

GAE develops professional subwoofers always following the same intentions:

optimization of the efficiency/bandwidth-proportion and the damping-characteristics


selection of the best LF-loudspeakers under mechanic as well as acoustic aspects
convenient handling and high compatibility to all GAE fullrange-systems
perfect acoustic characteristics supported by digital controllers of the latest generation
flexible opportunities of combination due to a setting-data-base for modern digital system
controllers

BR8N
The GAE BR8N bass system is a perfect low frequency extension ideally
suited to the small units of the System-series. Driven by an active
crossover the BR8N expands the lower frequency range of a passive
top. Special loudspeaker parameters of the 8 woofer together with an
optimized and exceeding small vented enclosure achieve an exceptional
performance and dynamics. The lowest cutoff frequency was adjusted
in favour of sound and acoustical power capacity and the demands for
fixed installations. Compactness and elegant design predestine the
BR8N for installations with highest quality demands but limited spacing.

The system is equipped with one handling recess and connection plate hidden on the back. The
extended unobstructed ventilation channel prevents from airstream noises and compression effects.
The multi-layered, birch-ply enclosure is sealed with a black structure varnish. The front is protected
by a metal front grill with high permeability and fronted with acoustic foam. The 2 connectors are of
linked Neutrik Speakon 4-pole type. An connection to 2+/2- instead of 1+/1- is possible. Special
colours and surfaces are optional.

Characteristics:

- subwoofer to supply the smaller loudspeakers of the System-series


- extremely good power/size-ratio
- distinguished but discrete enclosure design

ETAMAX
State-of-the-art simulation programs and elaborated
enclosures are the basis for the optimized horn contour and
its folding. By the help of the backwards enclosure-
chamber the parameters of the 18 driver are exactly
adjusted to the acoustic situation of the pressure chamber
and the sound conduction. The acoustical resistance thus
obtained damps the driver optimally and produces a
frequency specter largely expanded to the low specter
without bothersome resonances.

By stacking several ETAMAXs this effect is redoubled,


leading to a major horn construction unsurpassed in sound
and power. ETAMAX reproduces low frequencies exactly,
powerfully and with noticeable directivity. It is especially
apt to back up far-ranging sound systems (as for instance
GAEs WaveLine) in the bass range.

The particular economy of this bass horn construction


becomes apparent with big sound engineering challenges
as the usual number of high power amplifiers can be
drastically reduced. The operation of an "ideal" 30 Hz horn

The toll taken by these special ETAMAX construction-characteristics rests with its dimensions, but
the ingenious positioning of the 10 handholds simplifies the handling. Aluminum fixing bolts in the
top and the bottom of the enclosure close to its back guarantee a save stacking. The enclosure is
sumptuously built of high quality multi-layered birch-ply and sealed with a black structure varnish by
standard. Different RAL colours are available. The loudspeakers baffle and its components are
protected by a solid metal front grill which is backed with an opaque acoustic foam.

incorporating a 12 cone driver and a horn loaded 1 compression driver. The
passive crossover network is optimally adjusted to the speaker components and is
sufficiently equipped for high-power handling. The HF-driver is protected from
overloading by a maintenance free overloading-limiter which guarantees a high
operational safety.

The 1 compression driver is attached to a 90 x 75 horn. The horns


construction allows a 90 rotation thus the irradiation characteristics can be
adjusted to the demands.

The 12 cone driver has been especially optimised to create a resonance-free and well balanced
sound. In the PS121T a slightly dominant high tone level has been tuned as in praxis a powerful
bass-backing seems to be opportune. This way an impressive overall design with an outstanding
power output has been realised.

The multi-layered birch-ply enclosure is of highest quality, grooved, water-tightly glued and screwed
and sealed with a black structure varnish. Colours in different RAL-tones are available. The
loudspeakers baffle and its components are protected by a solid metal front grill which is backed
with acoustic foam. A metal carrying handle supplies a comfortable operation. The PS121T has been
designed for the professional touring use without material fatigue.

The enclosure is equipped with a 35mm flange for stand mounting on the bottom and flying-tracks
on both sides. These are complemented by a M8 threaded shaft on the back side to allow the tilting
of the system when installed.

Characteristics:

- perfectly coordinated components and enclosure details


- passive full-range system for medium- and fill-applications
- squared horn
- 90 x 75 dispersion
- mechanical processing on the highest level for the daily touring routine
- flying-track flight hardware and 35mm flange for stand mounting

MONITOR

Curtain Up for Elegant Maximum Performance.

Monitors have the capacity to sound great this is proverbial with GAE. Paired with an outstanding
performance GAE-monitors ever since belong to the universal instrument of stage engineering.
Dressed up in a superior design the monitor becomes the gem of each stage.

Zoom 12
Laid-out as low-profile-enclosure the Zoom 12 impresses with optic
elegance and extreme potential: curved lines dominate and are carried
forward even to the handholds, high performance Neodymium-
loudspeakers containing 4 voice coils provide boundless acoustic power.
The uncompromising active control is brought to perfection by a detailed
tuning of the parameters.

The dispersion properties of the Zoom 12 are geared to praxis. A special horn contour achieves a
clearly defined listening range, beyond this focus the acoustic pressure declines evenly. Extreme
sound level reserves are gained by the application of 4 voice coils in the low and high frequency
range, breaking way to the highest performance. Especially strong Neodymium magnets and
optimized controller parameters for an ideal adjustment of the loudspeakers provide for an excellent
dynamic. The construction specialties of the 12 chassis allow a simple equalization.

The extremely small enclosure is easy to be carried and impresses by a high stability providing the
well-known GAE-enclosure qualities. The monitor is offered optionally as right or left version which
enables a symmetrical positioning. Threaded flanges offer horizontal mounting by using an optional
yoke.

Characteristics:

uncompromising active control


frequency and time equalization allow a maximum acoustic feedback security and best possible
quality of transmission
towering dispersion-symmetry of the horn in horizontal and vertical direction
perfect acoustic shift between LF- and HF-driver
excellent speech clarity
high power output > 130 dB (1m)

WARRANTY / QC

GAE offers on all systems (excluding electronics and typical wear parts) an extended warranty. You
can be sure that before and after its installation each particular component has been thoroughly
tested. GAEs quality standards are that strict that only especially chosen suppliers are able to meet
them. Before leaving the production each product is tested on technical faults individually. Please
refer to your distributors appointments regarding warranty on GAE products.

SOLIDBOX-DESIGN

With GAE all enclosures are built and developed according to state-of the-art mechanical criteria.
This piece of masterwork recompenses its owner by an extremely long life-cycle. Only high quality
birch multiplex with a high complexity is used, as each single layer is turned by 90 an outstanding
stiffness is guaranteed. Even the material thickness is matched to the loudspeakers requirements
layers of 15 36mm thickness are employed. All baffles are additionally attached to the enclosure
by a special groove/feather construction.

HIGH EFFICIENCY CROSSOVER DESIGN

offers a supreme degree of efficiency, an optimal overlap of the frequencies and a time correction.
This way an enormous frequency response at alert-levels and a high degree of freedom for the tonal
adjustment of the whole system is ensured.

SR-PROTECTION

Each GAE crossover network is optimized for the driver employed and offers a high power handling
capacity. The HF driver is protected by a maintenance free overloading-limiter (after being activated
it returns to normal on its own) which guarantees a high operational safety.

V/H ADJUST HF-HORN

The HF compression driver is attached to a 90 x 75 horn. The horns construction allows a 90


rotation thus the irradiation characteristics can be adjusted to a horizontal or vertical employment.

DIRECT METAL MOUNTING

Each mounting of a vertical yoke follows the principle: metal to metal. The threads employed are
constructed in a way that allows the yoke to be attached to a metal part connected with the thread.
There are no metal/wood contacts otherwise this would mean a loss in stability with the time of
usage.

TWIN COAX

The outstandingly compact high tone driver allows an extremely tight installation of the
loudspeakers chassis. Thereby the 12 horn drivers are mounted as close as possible above each
other whereas the compact horn/driver combination is located in the middle and directly in front of
the drivers. Only by this grouping real spot-acoustic-source is enabled.

16 OHMS

An input impedance of 16ohms allows the application of several systems to one amplifiers channel
without damaging the amplifier. For an easy parallel connection according to the Daisy-Chain-
Principle the loudspeaker system offers connectors of the Neutrik NL4 Speakon type.

GLOSSARY

RDH (Rain Drain Handle)

A special construction of the carrying recesses guarantees the draining of accidentally poured
rainwater no matter whether the systems are used standing or lying.

OUTER FRAME

If two loudspeaker systems are flown beneath each other, the integrated lifting studs are extremely
stressed. Commonly drive-in nuts are integrated into the enclosure, which then (together with the
top respectively the bottom) have to carry the whole weight of the construction. Using such a
construction very often means to leave legal ways, disregarding security-concerns. GAE offers the
so-called Outer Frame Construction: the fittings lie above the enclosures like a frame , carrying the
weight of the loudspeaker installed below.

MAX.AB

The optimised enclosure design offers a 90% utilization of the loudspeakers front as emitter
consisting of loudspeaker membrane and resonators vent. The ventilation channels have been
arranged in a way that allows them to stiffen the enclosure and at the same time cool the drivers
magnets.

HIGH STATIC SYMMETRICAL LOAD

Both driver chassis are symmetrically enclosed by a novel ventilation channel and the side walls and
thereby symmetrically loaded. Because of this construction swaying movements of the membrane
are reduced to a minimum whereas the output power is raised to a maximum. The huge ventilation
channel ensures an excellent bass reflex effectiveness without compression effects and at the same
time compounds the baffles static.

FLEXIBLE STACKING
The GAE BR systems are outfitted with different footprints, which allow a flexible mounting of
several full-range/subwoofer loudspeakers.
