Brand: Grado

Grado B is a high-quality dynamic loudspeaker drive unit designed by Grado Labs, a U.S.-based audio equipment manufacturer. The 'B' designation signifies that this speaker driver is a balance-damped design, which means it utilizes a specially formulated synthetic material in the surround and diaphragm to further reduce distortion and unwanted resonance.The Grado B is commonly found in high-end audio systems, particularly in the mid- and upper-range frequencies, where it is known for its incredibly accurate and detailed sound reproduction. Its low-level details, transient response, and microdynamics are praised by audiophiles and reviewers alike.The specifications of the Grado B vary slightly depending on the specific model and application, but it generally features a 1.25-inch diameter Bellonze nickel-plated brass concentric ring diaphragm, a copper-wound voice coil, and a neodymium magnet structure. The power handling and maximum output level can range from 50-125 watts RMS and 300-400 watts peak, respectively.Notable applications of the Grado B driver include use in high-performance headphones such as the Grado GS1000 and Grado PS1000, as well as in floor-standing, bookshelf, and studio monitor speaker systems.
