Product Information
The GSD-30 driver is engineered for installation in ceilings as well as walls and any type of resonating material .
The GSD-30 driver can be used as an 8-ohm, 30-watt connected to a low impedance amplifier as well as 70/100V paging.
Paging application can be set by using an innovative and compact toroidal transformer.
The performance of the GSD-30 driver can be maximized through the use of the recommended Go Sound instructions or by using equipment with parametric equalization.
The GSD-30 driver is acoustically compatible with the standards loudspeakers and can be integrated on the same line.
The GSD-30 driver meets numerous standards for combination music and evacuation systems around the world.

Design Recommendations
When creating a design that uses Go Sound drivers, you should consider the following:
• The driver is ideally suited to background music and paging applications.
If your customer’s requirement is for a foreground music system, consider the GSD-30 driver.
• Recommended mounting height for the GSD-30 is between 2,5 and 10 m.
• Maximum SPL for a typical application is between 87 and 99 dB-SPL.
Coverage requirements vary for each application, and the loudspeaker spacing will vary based on mounting height and listener height.
Use the following two steps to calculate the required loudspeaker spacing distance for your application.

Engineers’ and Architects’ Specifications
The driver shall be a 30-watt, system utilizing one full-range driver. The driver shall be designed for installation in ceilings up to 10 m high.
The driver shall have a nominal rated impedance of 8 ohms and shall be wired in parallel with a line voltage matching (step-down) toroidal transformer for various output such as TR-3030 .
The driver spring-loaded input connector will allow for direct connection to either 70V, 100V or low-impedance amplifiers.
Each driver shall have a bandwidth of 50 Hz – 15 kHz and a maximum continuous acoustic output of 99 dB-SPL, referenced to a full bandwidth pink noise input at 1 meter at the loudspeaker’s rated power.
The driver shall meet numerous standards for combination music and evacuation systems around the world.
Power settings available shall be: 30W, @ 70V or 100V (when referenced to IEC noise for 200 hours).

How our Loudspeakers are Measured
1. Power handlingFull-bandwidth pink noise, meeting the IEC Standard #268-5, is applied to the driver and amplified to a level at the driver terminals corresponding to the power handling of the driver. The loudspeaker must show no visible damage or measurable loss of performance after 200 hours of continuous testing.
2. SensitivityFull-bandwidth pink noise is applied to the driver with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the driver terminals corresponding to 1 watt, as referenced to the nominal impedance. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
3. Maximum SPL Full-bandwidth pink noise is applied to the driver with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the driver terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the speaker. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
4. Frequency rangeSine waves are injected into the driver, and the level is adjusted to 1 watt, as referenced to the nominal impedance, and the level measured at 1 meter. Resulting graph is smoothed by 0.05 octave-band.
