Vivid Audio GIYA G3 Cu

We know that not everyone has a dedicated listening room, or enough space to accommodate the statuesque G2 or imposing G1. Hence the GIYA G3 Cu. Offering the signature clarity, accuracy, bass power and room-filling sound as its larger siblings, the G3 lets you savour the authentic Vivid Audio listening experience in just about any setting.

GREAT THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES
Retaining the motor structure and suspension profiles of the larger siblings, the G3 Cu is capable of producing substantial bass energy despite its reduced diameter.

The top of the bass enclosure displays the now uniquely familiar curl of the tapered tube absorber to completely eliminate the top to bottom resonances and deliver sharp accurate bass.

RELATIVE VALUES 
With its distinctive composite enclosure, the G3 Cu is unmistakeably part of the GIYA family, and a direct descendent of the pioneering G1. And like them, its striking design is driven entirely by function.

The curling tapered tube absorber completely eliminates top-to-bottom resonances to deliver sharp, accurate bass from the paired C135 drivers – and with a power you have to hear to believe, given the G3’s compact size.

EXPRESS YOURSELF
Even at just 1.1 metres tall, the G3 Cu loudspeaker makes its presence felt. You may wish to make a feature of its radical, sculptural design; or you might prefer to let its work speak for it instead. With our range of colours, you can make your loudspeakers as subtle or strident, restrained or resplendent as you like.

The G3 Cu is available in two standard finishes – pearl white and piano black – and any other colour you desire by special order.
