LIKE THE STANDARD GEMINI 2, THE Studio (a.k.a. GM-2-ST) is a stereo amplified guitar speaker cabinet designed especially for use with digital modelers and other software based guitar systems.
It faithfully reproduces modeled amps and cabs with minimal coloration, due to its super-clean and flat 220-watt class D amplifier and proprietary speakers. Two 1" high-frequency compression drivers with titanium diaphragms are coaxially mounted at the centers of a pair of 12" low frequency speakers, much like “time-aligned” professional studio monitors, resulting in broader dispersion of sound than conventional guitar speakers.
An additional advantage to the coaxial configuration is that because the highs and lows originate from a common point in space, “directly on-cone,” “off-axis,” and other traditional speaker miking techniques may still be employed effectively. The cabinet itself is constructed of 3/4" void-free Baltic birch and covered in black Tolex and fitted with black hardware. A classic basket weave grille and white piping complete the elegant package.
