K-Gear GP18A - 700W 24 x 2-inch Passive Column Loudspeaker System with 1500W 18-inch Powered Subwoofer in Black Finish

The K-Gear GP18A is a high-performance active audio system designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, combining the power of a robust 18-inch powered subwoofer with a sophisticated line-array column speaker system. Featuring 3 modular 8x2" line-array elements with K-array PAT (Pure Array Technology), the GP18A delivers exceptional sound performance and coverage in a compact yet powerful design. Whether used for concerts, auditoriums, bars, or clubs, this system excels in providing clear, immersive sound for medium to large venues. Ideal for both rental and permanent installations, the GP18A is engineered to handle demanding events while maintaining high-quality audio output and system flexibility.

The GP18A subwoofer, which features an 18-inch driver, delivers deep, impactful bass with a power rating of 1500W. The subwoofer ensures the foundation of the system's sound profile, with a frequency response extending from 30Hz to 20kHz, providing a full-range audio experience. It is perfectly paired with the three modular column speakers, each containing 8x2" neodymium magnet drivers. These column speakers utilize K-array's innovative PAT technology, which positions the drivers at alternating horizontal inclinations, ensuring a wide 140° horizontal dispersion angle that delivers even sound across the venue. The system's vertical dispersion of 20° ensures targeted audio coverage, creating an immersive soundstage suitable for a wide range of events.

Control of the GP18A system is streamlined with the inclusion of Powersoft DSP and power module, which enables remote control via Ethernet and is compatible with Armonia software for easy and intuitive system management. The GP18A offers seamless integration with other audio systems, allowing users to connect the passive GP18 model for stereo configurations or distributed sound applications. This versatility makes the GP18A ideal for both small-scale and larger, more complex sound installations.

Constructed with durability in mind, the GP18A features a sturdy birch plywood subwoofer enclosure and a high-quality ABS top module that ensures longevity and resistance to environmental factors. The subwoofer is rated at IP41 for moderate protection against dust and moisture, while the column speakers are rated IP54, offering enhanced protection for outdoor installations. Whether used for touring, fixed installations, or events, the GP18A system is engineered to perform in a variety of challenging conditions.

The GP18A system is designed for quick setup and ease of transport, making it the perfect choice for sound professionals looking for a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective solution. With its impressive SPL of 125 dB and a maximum power output of 1500W (subwoofer) and 700W (top modules), the GP18A is ready to handle high-demand applications while delivering exceptional sound quality and coverage.
