Grund Audio Design recently added the GT-1520M and GT-1220M to the company’s GT Series floor monitor line. They feature two-way, bass reflex and dual angle enclosure designs, and promise to be versatile enough to be well-suited for both portable and fixed sound reinforcement applications.

An ideal choice for either analog or digital reproductions where clean, clear response is a must, the new Grund Audio Design GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitors are designed for near field applications where smooth, dynamic range is required. With impressive power handling characteristics, these floor monitors are capable of high output for a full stage mix of vocals, drums, keyboards, guitars, and bass. Equally notable, these loudspeakers are well-suited for side-fill or delay monitoring applications. Boasting wide-range dispersion characteristics, the GT-1220M and GT-1520M also ship with pole cups integrated into the enclosures—making them a terrific choice for ‘speaker on a stick’ general purpose PA system applications.
The Grund Audio Design GT-1220M floor monitor’s components include a 12-inch high excursion, low frequency transducer mated with a 2-inch compression driver that is coupled to a controlled pattern horn for crystal clear high frequency reproduction. The GT-1520M floor monitor provides a 15-inch high excursion, low frequency transducer mated with a 2-inch compression driver/horn combination. Both the GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitors feature 40-degree horizontal and 80-degree vertical dispersion patterns.
The new GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitors have a 450 W power handling capability with a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms. Frequency response for both models is rated at 50 Hz – 18 kHz. Each enclosure provides two Neutrik NL4 Speakon connectors plus a biamp switch.
Both the GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitor systems are two-way, bass reflex designs constructed with multi-ply Baltic Birch wood that is heavily braced for cabinet rigidity. These enclosures are available in three standard finishes: black, white, or natural (ready-to-stain). The transducer compliment is protected with a powder-coated, perforated steel grille. With their dual angle enclosure design, the GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitors make it easy to position the loudspeakers for maximum on-stage effectiveness while maintaining a low profile for a clean stage presence. For fixed installations, these loudspeaker enclosures are available with optional 2 x 2 suspension, 3/8″-16 threaded mounting points.
The Grund Audio Design GT-1220M and GT-1520M floor monitors carry MSRP pricing of $1,139 and $1,149 respectively. Both models are currently available.
