The world of high-fidelity audio evolves, yet some designs remain timeless. The Gema loudspeakers by SB Acoustics embody this philosophy. Paying homage to the classic 1970s speaker design, Gema blends retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology to deliver a rich, detailed, and immersive listening experience. Whether you’re an audiophile in Singapore or Malaysia, the Gema offers a standout sound profile that can transform your audio setup.
SB Acoustics, which promises an uncompromised, superior craftsmanship, has once again raised the bar with Gema. As a company with decades of expertise in developing high-performance audio components, SB Acoustics has built a reputation for products that meet the needs of even the most discerning listeners.
The Gema loudspeaker takes inspiration from the iconic large 3-way speakers of the 1970s. Back then, generous enclosures with large bass drivers were the gold standard, and for good reason—they delivered powerful, deep bass that listeners loved.
Drivers
At the heart of Gema’s bass performance lies the 12″ SB34NRXL75-8 woofer. This driver produces a deep, well-controlled, and tuneful bassline that adds weight and dimension to any track.
Covering frequencies from 680Hz to 3kHz, the 4″ paper cone SB12MNRX2-25-4 midrange driver ensures stunning clarity. With its low moving mass, great efficiency, and excellent linearity, it offers a warm, articulate performance ideal for vocals and instruments.
The high frequencies are managed by the SB26STAC-c000-4, a 1-inch soft dome tweeter. Featuring a die-cast aluminum faceplate, optimized rear chamber, and full copper cap, it delivers smooth, detailed highs that perfectly complement the articulate midrange.
Precision Enclosure Design
The Gema’s cabinet design is engineered with thoughtfulness in mind.
Large Slot Port: Tuned to 28Hz and opening to the front, the slot port enhances low-frequency performance without adding muddiness.
Midrange Chamber: A generous sealed enclosure provides optimal conditions for the midrange driver to shine.
Material Recommendation: For the best performance, SB Acoustics suggests building the cabinet from high-quality 18mm plywood, ensuring both durability and acoustic excellence. Artisan Acoustics, in Malaysia and Singapore offers the Gema as a Complete Built Up (CBU) unit - so you don't have to worry about building the cabinets!
The Gema combines advanced driver technology and superior cabinet design to deliver a balanced sound signature. Whether it’s the deep, powerful bass or the crystal-clear highs, every note is rendered with precision. The retro-inspired design is not just about nostalgia; it’s about bringing a touch of sophistication to your living space. Its proportions and finish reflect the elegance of vintage loudspeakers while staying relevant to modern sensibilities. The use of high-quality materials ensures the Gema is built to last. Its robust construction minimizes distortion and delivers consistent performance over time, making it a reliable investment for audiophiles.
Bass That Moves You
The 12″ woofer delivers authoritative bass that’s deep and tight, perfectly capturing the essence of low-frequency instruments.
Midrange That Speaks to the Soul
The dedicated midrange driver produces vocals and instrumentals with unparalleled clarity. Whether it’s the strumming of a guitar or the nuances of a vocal performance, the Gema brings it all to life.
Highs That Sparkle
