2. Product Description
The GRAVIS 12+ is a high performance all-round speaker whose two monitor angles allow
for it to be used not only as a highly professional mid-high range PA speaker, but also as a
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 N is equipped with a rotatable tweeter horn with a coverage angle of
65° x 50°. The model GRAVIS 12+ XW W has a coverage angle of 90° x 50°. Its elegant design
