G.I.P. Laboratory

G.I.P. Laboratory builds horn loudspeaker systems based on classic theater technology from the Western Electric company of the 1930s. The original  Western Electric drivers from this period are considered by many as the greatest ever made and still state-of-the-art. However, because of wear from being almost a century old, nearly all of the original examples no longer perform as new, making it almost impossible to find a properly balanced matching pair. Enter G.I.P. Laboratory.

The company manufactures complete horn loudspeaker systems, many with their own Western Electric replica field-coil compression drivers and woofers. They are nearly identical to the original Western Electric units, no easy task when considering the extremely difficult engineering and metallurgy. The result, dynamic realism, musicality, and scale that will astonish even the most sophisticated listener. For optimum synergy, G.I.P. Laboratory also builds a range of vacuum tube amplifiers and preamplifiers.
