Configuration & Build

All Sound Lab full-range panels follow one core design, available in different frame sizes for various height and width options. Every model uses the same high-quality materials, construction, and electronics—there are no lower-cost versions or compromises. Each speaker is built to the highest standard possible.

Configuration Options: Panel Sizes

Check our configuration table to explore panel options, sorted from largest to smallest by radiating surface area—not just height. This measurement, based on both height and width, determines each panel’s sound energy performance. Use this as a guide to find the best fit for your space. See below for more details.

One Membrane & Radiating Area

Sound Lab full-range electrostats are large because their electrostatic membranes move less air than other speaker technologies. To achieve the expected sound levels, we increase the radiating surface area instead of using multiple drivers or alternative technologies, as we believe a single-membrane design offers the best performance.

Since all models share the same design and only differ in membrane size, their energy output depends on how much air they move. Larger panels with more radiating surface area produce more energy. When choosing a panel, consider both height and width, as the total radiating area—not just one dimension—determines performance.

Specifications

A. Speaker height to a standing person. Sound radiates only up to the speaker’s height.

B. There are five height options, ranging from nearly 9’ (274 cm) to just under 5’, labeled G9 to G5.

C. Panel width in cells. In 3, 4, 5, or 7-cell widths, ranging from about 20” to 40” wide.

D. Panels are sorted by radiating area from largest to smallest.

The model names are given first with the following nomenclature: GX-YC where:

G: full-range
X: approximate height
Y: number of cells to give relative indication of width (all cells are same width)
C: cell

Sound Differences Between Panels

The simple rule for sound performance: the largest panel that fits properly in your space will deliver the most effortless sound. We recommend discussing options with us or your dealer—and most importantly, listening for yourself.

Think of it like this: driving at 50 km/h in a Rolls Royce versus a compact car feels very different. But if you live in a French Riviera apartment with narrow cobblestone streets, a Rolls Royce may not be the best fit. Similarly, squeezing our largest panel into a small room isn’t ideal. Instead, a smaller model can create an intimate, immersive listening experience.

Choosing the right configuration is about balance. That’s why we offer a variety of designs to match nearly any room size. We’re also open to special requests.
