GIYA G4

The demand for the most compact Giya required more than just shrinking the enclosure; it would need two new drivers and some nifty crossover shaping.

GIYA G4 is followed up by GIYA G4 series 2

vivid-audio-giya-g4

Giya series is defined by its remarkable sense of sonic transparency and tonal naturalness. Principal Vivid Audio designer Laurence Dickie pioneered the application of tapered tube absorbers in Nautilus™ as a means to eliminate destructive resonances and reflections from within driver enclosures. With Giya, we apply this design technique to all four of the driver subsystems in the loudspeaker, including the low frequency section. It is exactly this tapered bass enclosure which coils around to such visually striking effect. It is our innovative combination of this tapered absorption tube with a pair of reaction-cancelling critically-tuned vents that is unique.


Our patented technology provides the benefits of near-complete elimination of internal resonances and reflections afforded by the tapered absorber, along with the low distortion, high efficiency, and moderate enclosure size courtesy of the vents.
