Introducing The GR20 High-Output Point-Source System

The GR20 is the first system in the new G-series group of Alcons generic point-source solutions. This compact, high-output 2-way loudspeaker is engineered for both portable use and permanent installations, delivering Alcons’ renowned natural, dynamic and ultra-low-distortion sound quality from an exceptionally small footprint.

Central to the GR20’s performance is the proprietary RBN602rs 6” pro-ribbon driver. This compression-less transducer provides fully linear sound reproduction at any sound pressure level, with up to 90% lower distortion than conventional driver technologies. The result is a highly transparent, non-fatiguing listening experience, even at high output levels.

The pro-ribbon’s ultra-fast impulse response and inherently flat frequency response up to and beyond 20 kHz deliver a 3 to 6 dB improvement in gain-before-feedback compared to traditional point-source systems. This makes the GR20 particularly suitable for speech-critical, live sound and immersive applications where intelligibility and control are essential.

“Featuring the latest in our pro-ribbon-, waveguide- and transducer technology, the GR20 sets a new category benchmark, delivering true fidelity with a surprisingly dynamic output.”, Philip “Dr.Phil” de Haan, head of Alcons Audio R&D

With a peak power handling of 1,250 watts (200 ms, ten times the industry-standard), the RBN602rs offers a 1:15 RMS-to-peak dynamic range. Combined with its patented 80° × 50° directivity, the GR20 provides consistent coverage up to the highest frequencies, a wide stereo sweet spot and excellent projection in elevated listening areas.

The pro-ribbon driver is mounted in a vertically symmetrical “clamshell” configuration with two custom-designed 10” Neodymium mid-bass woofers. Featuring Active Coil™ technology, these woofers deliver exceptionally low-distortion low-frequency performance that seamlessly matches the pro-ribbon’s mid-high clarity. Operating in passive-filtered tandem with the pro-ribbon, the system achieves high output and dynamic performance from a single amplifier channel.

As part of the Alcons ecosystem, the GR20 is powered by an ALC amplified loudspeaker controller. Factory presets incorporating VHIR™ processing, 192 kHz AES3 digital inputs and audiophile-grade amplifier stages ensure true 1:1 sound reproduction, maximum efficiency and system reliability.

Philip “Dr. Phil” de Haan comments: “While the all-natural cylindrical wavefront of our pro-ribbon technology has enabled highly advanced array systems, it was time to refocus on point-source solutions — the bread & butter of sound reinforcement. ”

The GR20 bridges the gap between the V-series point-source and L- and R-series array systems.

Philip continues: “Featuring the latest in our pro-ribbon-, waveguide- and transducer technology, the GR20 sets a new category benchmark, delivering true fidelity with a surprisingly dynamic output”.

Following its prototype debut at Amsterdam Dance Event 2024 and multiple trade-show appearances, the production-ready GR20 was first deployed at the recent Amsterdam Dance Event 2025; In the Dolby Atmos House a full GR20 system in 7.1.6 configuration reinforced the latest immersive recordings of top EDM artists, of which Armin van Buren’s “Piano” was of specific relevance, as it was mixed on the Alcons C-series system at Martin Garrix’ STMPD Studios.

The system will be showcased at the upcoming ISE 2026.
