THE REAR PANEL

SPEAKER UNIT
Gravis V features a potent 12” (305mm) long-stroke driver equipped with a Trilaminated sandwich cone diaphragm. This diaphragm is constructed from two layers of woven synthetic fibers (Fiberglass) with a nomex honeycomb layer in between, enabling precise control of driver excursion and resistance flexing. The cone’s remarkable blend of stiffness and lightweight design ensures that Gravis V delivers both massive air movement and precise articulation.
