INSTANTLY RECOGNIZED NEVER EQUALLED

INSPIRED BY NATURE. PERFECTED BY ENGINEERS

Nature dislikes straight lines almost as much as she abhors a vacuum. She knows that sound travels much more smoothly over curved surfaces; hence the shape of your own ear. Odd, then, that the standard loudspeaker design is still, by and large, a rectangular box. All those sharp edges and right angles produce reflections and resonances – the true enemies of recorded music. Because what you’re hearing isn’t the real performance: it’s a version of it, overlaid with colours and textures the writer and performer never intended. If you want to hear the real thing, you need the GIYA G1.

TAKING YOU DEEPER INTO THE MUSIC

As befits the top-of-the-range model, the G1 brings you all our finest handmade acoustic technology. The new D26 tweeter and D50 mid driver both benefit from our patented Tapered Tube loading. This effectively eliminates cabinet resonances, giving you absolutely clarity and transparency through the high and mid frequencies. Underpinning the performance is the massive bass provided by our paired C225 drivers. Set on reaction-cancelling compliant mounts, they faithfully bring out every note with perfect accuracy, free of the blurring and muddiness that bedevil lesser devices.

NATURAL THROUGH AND THROUGH

Sheets of wood are easy to cut, handle and join, which is why loudspeaker makers love them. And they’re perfectly fine if you just want to make rectangular boxes. Which we don’t, for reasons already explained. So instead, the G1 enclosure is handmade from a glass-reinforced composite sandwich, with a core layer of end-grain balsa wood. This allows us to create the curved planes and angle-free internal spaces that prevent reflections and resonances. Not the quickest or easiest way to make cabinets, but the only way to achieve the unique GIYA listening experience.
