Special Features

- Closed housing for precise bass reproduction
- Installation close to the wall possible
The three-way loudspeaker LS 3g – a joint project by Joachim Gerhard and Willibald Bauer – impresses with its straightforward, timeless design. Behind the simple elegance, however, lies sophisticated technology that makes music sound precise, clear and natural.
Clever Cabinet Design
The LS 3g is narrow, high and deep: narrow so that the mid and high frequencies are not affected by cabinet reflections and the sound can separate from the loudspeaker; high and deep because a certain cabinet volume is required for convincing bass.
The arrangement of the two woofers on the side walls has a simple reason: it prevents the chassis from transferring vibration energy to the housing. Since the two woofers work in phase but are mounted 180° apart, the unwanted forces cancel each other out to a large extent. At the same time, this trick increases efficiency and bass depth.
First-Class Driver Technology
The use of two small woofers instead of one larger one has the advantage that smaller membranes can be accelerated and decelerated more quickly. The membranes of the woofers are also geometrically reinforced to prevent partial vibrations.
The midrange driver uses a very light, small paper membrane, which improves impulse and omnidirectional behavior. Together with a strong drive magnet, this ensures an extremely realistic reproduction of voices and natural instruments.
The tweeter's membrane is made of an aluminum alloy, but it doesn't sound metallic at all. Quite the opposite: Due to its high strength, it moves like a piston even at high frequencies - an important prerequisite for natural timbre and correct decay. In addition, the special shape of the membrane ensures that its natural resonance shifts into the inaudible range.
Each chassis of the LS 3g operates in its optimal range, which is assigned to it by the sophisticated crossover. At first glance, the crossover seems complex, but there are only a few components in series with the chassis. It is as complicated as necessary, but as simple as possible.
Clear Lines
Modesty is not a typical Bavarian virtue, but the linear design of the LS 3g is almost an understatement. The speaker can also be placed a little closer to the wall so that it does not dominate the living space. All in all, the LS 3g is an exceptional and yet uncomplicated loudspeaker of true sonic greatness.
