BRAX GRAPHIC GL6
It all started with the vision of music lover and company founder Heinz Fischer to be the first to bring exceptional audio experience of legendary high-end hi-fi components into the car. Uncompromising in design, technology and sound. True to these fundamental principles, the focus in the development of our BRAX GRAPHIC loudspeaker series is on pure, unaltered music reproduction, consistently realized by the latest technologies and highest-quality materials – of course designed and made in Germany.
MicroSphere – the material for maximum acoustic precision
The unique "MicroSphere" coating of the 165 mm / 6.5" high-end GRAPHIC GL6 MK2 mid woofers ensures outstanding sonic performance. With this patented technology, ceramic micro hollow spheres with a diameter of only 75 µm are embedded in a polymer layer and applied to the cone. This special coating guarantees perfect inner damping without negatively affecting the diaphragm weight. Instead, the innovative treatment increases the stiffness of the hand-scooped cone and allows this exceptional speaker to perform even more dynamically and accentuated.
Perfection – redefined
BRAX would not live up to its claim if our striving for perfection did not result in constant improvements to details. The GL6 comes with a new dust cap made of particularly soft polyurethane that ensures an even more balanced frequency response in the midrange and thus maximum tonal neutrality.
Even the smallest detail counts
All components of the GL6 reflect the BRAX philosophy without anyexception. The extremely stable die-cast aluminum basket signals unshakeable solidity, whereas the highly precisely manufactured magnet system in conjunction with the 37 mm, 3 Ohms voice coil not only offers ideal Thiele/Small parameters for the best possible impulse response, but also warrants high efficiency. The specially shaped rubber surround ensures maximum linear diaphragm excursion, 24-carat gold-plated screw terminals minimise contact resistance. Last but not least, the large magnet ventilation opening allows best possible minimisation of compression effects and the robust cover with BRAX lettering provides reliable protection for the magnet.
Each pair of speakers is unique
As is typical for BRAX, each pair of speakers is given its own serial number and recorded in a service database. This high-end product – Made in Germany – is rounded off by the packaging in a fine wooden box, which once again underlines the philosophy of the BRAX brand.

BRAX GRAPHIC GL3
It all started with a vision of Heinz Fischer, a passionate music lover and Audiotec's founder, to transfer the sound experience of legendary high-end audio components into a car environment. No compromises in terms of design, technology and sound - following these principles our engineers focussed on exceptional sound quality and expanded the technological limits once again when they designed the new BRAX GRAPHIC speaker series. Outstanding components and unparalleled craftsmanship make the difference – of course solely made in Germany!
A perfect team with maximum tonal harmony
The high-end midrange driver GL3 is the next member of the successful BRAX GRAPHIC speaker series and the ideal complement for exceptional three-way constellations in combination with the tweeter GL1 and the mid-woofer GL6. Its lively, dynamic sound characteristics and its particularly wide frequency range make the GL3 ideal for an extraordinary acoustical experience.
MicroSphere – the material for maximum acoustic precision
The centerpiece of this midrange is its particularly light paper cone with a modified "MicroShere" coating. Its extremely precise and detailed reproduction harmonizes perfectly with the other speakers in the GRAPHIC series. This patented technology embeds ceramic micro hollow spheres with a mere diameter of 75 µm in a polyamide layer that is applied to the cone.
State-of-the-art technology
The cone is driven by a particularly linear neodymium magnet system, which is integrated into the aerodynamically sophisticated die-cast aluminium basket. The perfect ventilation of the long-stroke voice coil not only ensures excellent thermal stability, but also prevents compression effects right from the start. The soft rubber surround ensures an extremely low resonance frequency and thus the possibility of a low crossover frequency, ideally in fully active systems.
Details well-thought-out to the end
The love for every single detail manifests the GL3 as a BRAX transducer at reference level, which meets the highest tonal demands of any music lover. Typically for BRAX, each pair of speakers is given its own serial number and recorded in a service database. This high-end product – Made in Germany – is made perfect by the packaging in an elegant wooden box, which once again underlines the uncompromising philosophy of the BRAX brand.
