Vivid Giya G3 Cu (Pair)

The G3 Cu keeps the motor structure and suspension of its larger siblings, so it produces substantial bass energy despite its smaller drivers. At the top of the enclosure, the familiar curl of the tapered tube absorber removes top-to-bottom resonances and delivers tight, accurate bass from the paired C135 drivers.

With its distinctive composite enclosure, the G3 Cu is unmistakably part of the GIYA family and a direct descendant of the pioneering G1. It is available in Pearl White, Oyster Matte and Piano Black, as well as any other colour to special order.

The third generation of GIYA brings technology from the flagship MOYA M1. The midrange drivers gain a copper cap on the magnet pole, which noticeably lowers second- and third-harmonic distortion. According to Vivid Audio, third-harmonic distortion drops by 20 dB.

The result is a cleaner, more uncoloured midrange, with voices and instruments that sound more natural. The Cu series also brings redesigned crossovers, lighter and stiffer enclosures, individual MOYA-style driver grilles and easier access to the terminals.

All GIYA Cu models are available with an optional external crossover. It is housed in a separate case finished in piano gloss to the same standard as the loudspeaker, with two pairs of input terminals for the same bi-wire and bi-amp options as the standard version. A professional eight-way cable with a metal-cased NL8 connector links the crossover to the loudspeaker.

The crossover can easily be disconnected. With an eight-way cable the loudspeaker can then be driven by four amplifiers through an active crossover, one per driver section. For active operation Vivid Audio also offers a dedicated break out unit.
