capabilities of modern systems.<\/p>\n<p>The best qualities of the Gauss 7 are provided by the patented GAU-AMT ribbon tweeter.\u00a0It is equipped with an aluminum-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane.\u00a0The tweeter provided an extended listening spot and airiness in the high frequency range with minimal dependence on surroundings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"big\"><img

is reminiscent of classic monitors from the 90s.\u00a0The driver is based on the proprietary AV10-MLF speaker, however, according to Avantone, it was created from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>The material of the diffuser is a cellulose-fiberglass composite with secret additives.\u00a0The external suspension is made of Japanese unidirectional styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR).\u00a0It has optimized the power and travel of the diffuser.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the speakers is equipped with a two-channel class D amplifier with a power of 120 and 60 W for the woofer and tweeter, respectively.\u00a0The signal to the monitors is fed via balanced XLR inputs and a 6.35mm jack.\u00a0The rear panel also contains a volume control (Gain) and three-position switches for position correction (Acoustic Placement) and high frequency level (High Trim).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"big\"><\/figure>\n<p>All this is housed in a black medium density fiberboard cabinet with natural wood veneer.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, Avantone Gauss 7 monitors will cost $ 800 per pair.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin rmp-main-container js-rmp-widgets-container js-rmp-widgets-container--129658
