GORILLA S.
Active Analog Midfield Studio Monitor
GORILLA S. is an analog, active three-way midfield monitor delivering deep, controlled bass, accurate mids, and crisp, detailed highs for precise professional monitoring.
Designed for engineers who demand accuracy, it blends warm analog character with dedicated amplification across all frequency bands and a sealed enclosure for fast, clean transient response.
Sharing the same sonic signature as the original GORILLA, the GORILLA S. adds a dual-woofer design that provides greater headroom and a powerful 6 dB boost. It works seamlessly as a center channel between two GORILLAs or as a left/right speaker in a high-impact stereo setup.
Overview
GORILLA S. brings the signature sound of the original GORILLA to a new level of power and scale. Its dual-woofer design adds punch, headroom, and authority, while maintaining the same warm analog character and precise imaging engineers rely on. Built for serious mixing and mastering environments, GORILLA S. offers deep, controlled bass, articulate mids, and clean transients that reveal every detail. Use it as a center channel or as a left/right speaker when your setup demands more impact and accuracy.
Features
GORILLA S. is engineered with dedicated low-, mid-, and high-frequency drivers, each powered by its own precisely tuned amplifier to ensure accurate, controlled reproduction across the entire spectrum. This architecture delivers powerful, detailed sound and gives engineers the precision needed for confident mixing and mastering decisions.
Its sealed enclosure further enhances transient response and minimizes phase distortion, resulting in clean, accurate playback that reveals depth, separation, and spatial positioning with exceptional clarity. Tight, disciplined bass and a balanced soundstage make GORILLA S. particularly effective for critical listening and detailed production work.
With a fully analog signal path, GORILLA S. preserves the warmth, richness, and natural musicality of the source, offering an engaging and reliable reference for professional audio environments.
GORILLA S. is offered in five stunning color options, each finished in a luxurious soft-touch, silky matte coating that elevates any studio space.
