Classic looks and modern features

The Gauss 7 studio monitor, introduced by Avantone Pro in 2021, looks at first glance like a well-known old-school classic from Japan, because of its white 7" woofer and similar housing shape. At the same time, the product name is reminiscent of the long-gone speaker manufacturer Gauss Speaker Company. However, anyone who thinks they're looking at a speaker with outdated technology here is sorely mistaken! Although the US manufacturer Avantone Pro is known for products with a classic look, it has equipped the Gauss 7 with a raft of modern features, including a Class D bi-amplifier – 180W per speaker – and a high-quality Air Motion tweeter for high-frequency reproduction. Somewhat unusually for a reference monitor, the Gauss 7 is used vertically.

Real wood veneer – very attractive

The Avantone Gauss 7's housing is made of MDF, and finished with a real wood veneer for an appealing look. The front is is angled to improve acoustics. On the back of the housing are a level adjustment control (±6dB), two switches for adapting the monitor to its acoustic placement, a power switch, and a power supply connection in addition to the rear-firing bass reflex port. Furthermore, the Gauss 7 offers two options for balanced audio cabling in the form of an XLR and a TRS input. An RCA connection, on the other hand, is not present, which clearly indicates that the unit is intended for a professional working environment. On the front, a small two-colour LED provides information on the operating status. Blue indicates operational readiness, while red indicates standby mode.

Balanced sound

The Avantone Pro Gauss 7 delivers a natural, well-balanced sound with minimal limitations in terms of linearity. Especially in the high frequencies, the transients are well reproduced by the Air Motion tweeter. Both stereo imaging and tone depth will give even the most demanding engineers nothing to complain about. These qualities in particular facilitate the localisation of individual instruments, which makes their placement in the stereo panorama much easier. In summary, the Gauss 7 is a very effective monitoring tool that can be used by mixing engineers, musicians, and producers.

Room placement

There is a crucial reason why the Gauss 7 studio monitors are designed for vertical operation: The Air Motion tweeter has a highly vertical dispersion to reduce unwanted reverberation from the walls, which in turn helps to keep phase problems to a minimum. Users can make frequency adjustments depending on the positioning of the monitors in the control room. The range below 800Hz can be lowered by 2dB or 4dB, whereas the treble can be either lowered or raised by 2dB. For instance, if the user wishes to place the monitors in the corners of the room, it is recommended that frequencies under 800Hz be lowered by 4dB.
