"Six drivers" is a neat number to print on a box, but on its own it says very little. Six identical tiny speakers would sound nothing like six drivers of different types, each with a job. The AULA GS6 Pro drivers fall into the second group: AULA lists three pairs, each a different kind of unit, packed into one 410mm bar.

Quick Answer

The AULA GS6 Pro carries two full-range stereo units measuring 45 x 80mm, two treble units and two bass composite diaphragms, six in all. AULA lists the parts rather than the signal path, but going by what each type generally does, the full-range pair carries the stereo image, the treble units focus on the top end, and the bass diaphragms support the low end, with a C-Media sound card chip handling the audio arriving over USB. At Evetech the bar is priced at R349.

🔊 The three pairs, as AULA lists them

AULA's specification is short and specific, and it is worth quoting exactly as given:

  • 2 x full-range stereo units, 45 x 80mm
  • 2 x treble units
  • 2 x bass composite diaphragms

That is the complete list. AULA does not publish how the signal is divided between them, so the sections below describe what each type of driver is generally for, rather than how this bar routes its sound internally.

Full-range stereo units

A full-range driver is built to cover most of the audible spectrum on its own. In the GS6 Pro, the two full-range units are listed as stereo, one for the left channel and one for the right. Voices, most game audio and the bulk of music sit in the range these drivers handle, which makes them the backbone of the bar. Their elongated 45 x 80mm size lets a larger radiating surface fit into a slim, low body.

Treble units

Dedicated treble drivers are small and light, which lets them move quickly enough for high frequencies. Adding them beside the full-range pair takes some of the top-end workload off the bigger units, which tends to help crisp details such as footsteps, reloads and cymbals keep their edge.

Bass composite diaphragms

The third pair are what AULA calls bass composite diaphragms. In general terms, a bass diaphragm in a compact speaker reinforces the lower frequencies that small drivers struggle to reproduce on their own. AULA lists both inside the same bar as the other four drivers, so there is no separate box to place.

🎛️ What shapes the sound before it reaches the drivers

The drivers are only part of the story. A C-Media sound card chip handles the stream that arrives from the computer over USB. From there, you have several ways to shape it.

The bar has three sound modes on a button: Game, Music and Movie. Each tunes the output for a different kind of content, and they work without any software.

On Windows 10 and above, AULA's driver software adds EQ, game audio modes and a 7.1 surround effect. The surround effect is processing that adds a sense of width to the stereo image; it does not add drivers or channels to the hardware.

🖥️ Why a single bar makes sense on a desk

Spreading six drivers across one 410 x 80 x 76mm body keeps everything in front of you, under the screen, with the metal mesh front facing your seat and the body tilted up 10 degrees. It also means one cable, one position and one set of controls.

Driver layouts vary a lot between models, and Evetech's desktop speakers page is a quick way to see that variety next to the bar, with more again under speakers. A hardware fault on the bar is handled under the 1 Year Local Warranty Evetech includes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many drivers does the GS6 Pro have?

Six: two full-range stereo units, two treble units and two bass composite diaphragms.

What size are the full-range units?

45 x 80mm, an elongated size that suits a slim bar.

Is there a separate bass unit to place on the floor?

No. AULA lists the bass composite diaphragms inside the bar with the other drivers.

Does the 7.1 effect add more drivers?

No. It is processing in AULA's Windows driver software, applied to the audio the six drivers play.

Do the sound modes change which drivers are used?

AULA does not say. The modes tune the output for games, music or films, on a button on the bar.
