Brax Graphic GL2 speakers
As a passionate music lover and hi-fi enthusiast, Audiotec founder Heinz Fischer had one vision: to be the first to bring the audio experience of legendary high-end audio components to the car. No compromises have been made in design, sound and technology to achieve this ambitious goal. Following these principles, Brax engineers focused on exceptional sound quality and once again pushed the technological limits when designing the new BRAX GRAPHIC range of loudspeakers. Excellent components and unrivaled craftsmanship make the difference - exclusively made in Germany of course!
A top-of-the-line mid-range driver that exceeds its potential
Introducing the newest member of the BRAX GRAPHIC speaker line: the BRAX GL2! This 50 mm / 2" center driver is special in many ways. During the long development process, no expense or effort was spared to create the uncompromising loudspeaker you can only expect from BRAX. Every single component from the basket to the diaphragm has been redesigned and manufactured using specially made tools. This enormous effort is reflected beyond its excellent sound characteristics in an unusually compact design that creates completely new installation possibilities. And even better: thanks to its exceptionally wide frequency response, the GL2 can be used without an additional tweeter, resulting in close to the ideal of a point source and an overall new level of surround sound reproduction in the car. Extremely rigid aluminum cone from Dr. Kurt Müller's delivers a remarkably natural midrange response with particularly dynamic sound characteristics, while a precision-crafted neodymium magnet system with optimally linear magnetic flux contributes to an exceptionally low distortion factor. This clearly shows that with all its technical finesse, the GL2 is in a league of its own.
Elegant design with high functionality
In typical BRAX fashion, design and function merge. Of course, the ends are gilded with 24 carat gold, which complete the purist, noble look and ensure maximum conductivity. A robust black grille protects the cone from damage and underlines the minimalist look, while a threaded hole on the back allows for discreet integration into the vehicle. The special level of quality and attention to every single detail automatically makes the GL2 a reference level, meeting the highest tonal requirements of every hi-fi enthusiast. Typically for BRAX, each pair of speakers is assigned its own serial number and recorded in the service database. This top product – Made in Germany – is finished off with an elegant wooden box that complements the uncompromising philosophy of the BRAX brand.
Main features of Brax Graphic GL2 speakers
- Enormously wide-band frequency response even off-axis - ideal for use as a full-range speaker without an additional tweeter.
- Solid aluminum diaphragm for excellent and natural midrange response.
- Particularly clear and dynamic sound characteristics thanks to the strong and light aluminum membrane.
- Precisely machined system of neodymium magnets for the highest linearity of the magnetic flux.
- 24-carat gold-plated tips for maximum conductivity.
- Magnetic system with threaded hole for hidden fastening at the back.
- Robust protective grid to protect the cone from damage.
- Aerodynamically optimized basket.
- Extremely compact dimensions ideal for installation in the A-pillar - the outer diameter is almost identical to the BRAX GRAPHIC GL1 tweeter.

| Speaker typeCoaxial speakers: Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam. Component Speakers: Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection. | Mid/Broadband |
| RMS powerRMS speaker power is the constant power of the entire system, not just one speaker or one side. This is also the performance of continuous use of the speakers. If the RMS power is exceeded for a long time, the speakers may be irreversibly damaged! | 80 W |
| Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the speaker can play for a moment (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the max power is exceeded, the speakers will usually be damaged! | 120 W |
| Sensitivity (SPL 1W/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker. Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter. A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume. | 84 dB |
| ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using. Example: A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm. | 4 Ω |
| Frequency rangeThe ability of the speakers to play a signal from the lowest frequency to the highest, or the speaker's ability to faithfully reproduce sound in a specific frequency band. Professionally: In the frequency range from 40 to 16,000 Hz, the vast majority of fundamental and overtones (harmonics) of all musical instruments are found. We are interested in the course of the radiated sound pressure in this range of frequencies when the loudspeaker system is supplied with constant power. We call this course the frequency characteristic, which tells us the level of radiated sound pressure in decibels (dB) depending on the frequency. The frequency characteristic of a speaker or speaker system can be expressed most succinctly with a graph. Mostly, however, the frequency characteristic is indicated by indicating the maximum tolerance of the sound pressure in the given frequency range, e.g. 50 to 15,000 Hz -+ 6 dB. Since the frequency characteristics of loudspeakers and systems in general are quite uneven, some manufacturers do not even specify this maximum tolerance of sound pressure in decibels in their catalogs for reasons of prestige. Data impoverished in this way is unfortunately worthless. What is valid is that the manufacturer offers a speaker system with a frequency range of 30 to 20,000 Hz, if he is worried about stating the maximum unevenness of the sound pressure in this range, because he can have a tolerance of, for example, +- 20 dB. The unevenness or undulation of the frequency curve in good speaker systems for high-quality music performance should not exceed +-3 dB in the 80 to 12,000 Hz band and +-6 dB in the 40 to 16,000 Hz band. Greater unevenness already depletes or emphasizes certain tonal areas, which can cause audible or even disturbing distortion. The proportion between fundamental tones and higher harmonics also changes, thereby changing the color of the sound, and individual musical instruments as well as the entire musical image sound unnatural. | 400 - 20000 Hz |
