Wharfedale Pro GPL-8T Installation Speaker
GPL-8T is an 8″ full-range loudspeaker from our GPL Series, designed for professional high-impedance installations requiring clarity, precision, and natural sound reproduction in a compact format.
At its core, a Beyma coaxial driver with a 2.5″ LF voice coil delivers phase-aligned, coherent audio with smooth 70° conical coverage — ideal for theatres, bars, nightclubs, and performance spaces where uniform dispersion and speech intelligibility are essential. The custom-designed waveguide ensures high frequencies are directed accurately toward the audience, minimising reflections and maintaining consistent tonality across the listening area.
Constructed from birch plywood and finished in black or white, GPL-8T combines architectural discretion with rugged durability. It can be quickly wall-mounted using optional brackets or the included steel yoke, ensuring flexible installation. For 70 V / 100 V distributed audio systems, GPL-8T provides tap options at 200 / 100 / 50 / 25 W (70 V) and 200 / 100 / 50 W (100 V).
Handling 350 W continuous (1400 W peak) power and achieving 128 dB max SPL @ 1 m, GPL-8T delivers powerful, articulate sound with exceptional definition. FIR preset libraries and EASE .gll files are available for accurate system optimisation and seamless integration.
