Wharfedale Pro GPL-8 Passive Full Range Speaker 8-Inches

Featuring a Beyma coaxial driver with a 2.5″ LF voice coil, GPL-8 delivers phase-aligned, coherent audio with smooth 70° conical coverage — ideal for theatres, bars, nightclubs, and live performance spaces. Its custom-designed waveguide ensures that high frequencies are directed precisely toward the audience, reducing reflections and maintaining consistent tonal balance throughout the listening area.

GPL-8 can be quickly fixed to a wall using optional wall brackets or the included steel yoke, allowing for versatile mounting and clean, secure installation. Constructed from birch plywood and available in black or white finishes, GPL-8 combines elegant aesthetics with rugged reliability.

Handling 350 W continuous (1400 W peak) power and reaching up to 128 dB max SPL @ 1 m, GPL-8 delivers powerful, articulate sound with exceptional detail. FIR preset libraries and EASE .gll files are available for precise system optimisation.

All GPL models use premium Baltic birch plywood construction. Not only does this create a solid and durable cabinet, but it also contributes to the overall sound and character. GPL is also covered in our most durable and hard-wearing Rhino Rock paint finish. This ensures that a GPL loudspeaker will always look as good as the day you installed it.

Installations can be complicated enough, so Wharfedale Pro have made GPL series as easy as possible.

GPL-5 and GPL-8 are quickly fixed to a wall using the WPB-3 wall bracket or the included steel yoke. GPL-12, GPL-12HQ, GPL-15 and GPL-15HQ are quickly fixed to a wall using the WPB-1 wall bracket or the included steel yoke. These models are also compatible with PowerDrive Series 100 or Omni mount Series 60 installation brackets.

Building a system? How about this one for inspiration? GPL is engineered for any scale of system. Live or install, there is a GPL solution. The system in the diagram uses our Wharfedale Pro DP series amplifiers with downloadable presets for DP-N and DP-F models.
