Ground Zero

The Rise of the GROUND ZERO Company

GROUND ZERO has been founded back in 1995 by Karl Felix Lautner distributing car audio products "Made in USA" and introduced the revolutionary subwoofers of GZ Engineering USA to the European market in 1997. The following years, the German company took over the European trademark rights of "GROUND ZERO" and started developing market specific products. Finally, 2003 the GROUND ZERO GmbH took over all global trademarks from the discontinued US company and expanded the distribution to customers worldwide. Today, more than 400 sophisticated audio products developed and designed at the GROUND ZERO in-house engineering department are available in more than 65 countries globally.

Ensuring Superior Quality of GROUND ZERO Products

The GROUND ZERO product range includes speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers and further digital audio equipment for enthusiastic customers. Satisfying high demands and quality, Ground Zero carefully monitors every step of the production starting at the development using top-notch tools and highly accurate measurement equipment such as the laser controlled KLIPPEL® system to optimize every detail. Precise amplifier measurement equipment by Audio Precision® results in power ratings corresponding to the acknowledged CEA 2006-A standard. Without exceptions, every single product is evaluated by extensive testing and quality control prior to its final production release and market launch.

The cabinet volume calculations are executed considering an external resistance of 0.3 Ohm. We are using, if no other data is known or available, the information supplied by the manufacturer.

Please note: the frequency response doesn't say much about the cut-off frequency inside the cabinet! Therefore, we mostly give you 2 examples with dimensioning considerations and an indication, how low the loudspeaker will reproduce.
