The GRAVIS 12+ is a high performance all-round speaker whose two monitor angles allow

versatile stage monitor. To fly the speaker, you can use the unique Kling & Freitag 'VariPoint'
Flying Points with a standard M10 thread or with the quick connecting 'K&F Lifting Pin'. The
model GRAVIS 12+ N is equipped with a rotatable tweeter horn with a coverage angle of 65°
x 50°. The model GRAVIS 12+ W has a coverage angle of 90° x 50°. Its elegant design suitable
