Introducing the Gauss 7 — a tribute to greatness. Classics never die — Avantone is proud to bring Gauss back to the world with the Gauss™ 7 reference monitor. Decades after the disappearance of the Gauss Speaker Company, the line has returned with a proper (low-end) bang. Gauss 7 mixes the old-school snap of vintage near-field monitors, with the bandwidth and frequency response of new-school monitors. Its GAU-AMT tweeter provides ultra-smooth response, with an impressive stereo-field — making hours of listening time only feel like minutes. The folded AMT driver can only be described as transparent and accurate, with detailed transients. The Gauss 7 system delivers a super-wide “sweet spot”, precise imaging, and an impressive, natural, and accurate mid-range response. Gauss 7 also features simple, yet very powerful acoustic-tuning controls. That, paired with the vertical dispersion of the GAU-AMT, means clean acoustic response in any room environment. Gauss: the legend is back. The GAU-AMT: a hi-fidelity AMT driver. At the heart of the Gauss 7 lies the custom, patented-design GAU-AMT tweeter. The GAU-AMT provides the upmost detail, even to the most subtle of waveforms. The GAU-AMT’s delivers incredible stereo imaging, while maintainin a small vertical throw — this reduces unwanted acoustic reflections in a room, which helps minimize phase issues in an acoustic environment. GAU-AMT’s impressive transient response comes from it’s 65mm polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film folded membrane, — the result is far beyond what can be achieved in typical dome tweeter designs. PET film was chosen as it’s the lowest resonant-frequency film, and hosts the lowest crossover point — all while still providing exceptional high-range frequency extension. The GAU-AMT coil is aluminum-etched PET film that is folded. The assembly is mounted in its own enclosure to prevent the backwave pressure from woofer. • System Type: Active Full-Range Two-Way Stereo Pair • Frequency Response: 30Hz-22,000Hz • Cabinet: Bass Reflex design, hybrid medium-density fiberboard with real wood veneer • LF Driver: 7” (178mm) Ferrite Motor • HF Driver: 2.5” (65mm) AG-AMT • LF Amplifier Power: 120 W • HF Amplifier Power: 60 W • Amplifier: Bi-Amped Class D • SPL: 103dB (Peak) • THD: 0.5% • Controls: Gain (±6dB) / Acoustic Placement (-4dB, -2dB, 0db) / High Trim (-2dB, 0dB, 2dB) • Inputs: Balanced TRS / XLR • Power: 110V-240V ~50/60Hz • Power Consumption: StandBy: <0.5 W / Full Output: 250 W • Dimensions: 381mm H x 235mm W x 212mm D (15” H x 9.25” W x 8.35” D) • Weight: 8.2Kg / 18 Lbs (Each)
