Vivid Audio Giya C1 Spirit Cu

THE BEST OF THE BEST

The largest and most imposing GIYA, the G1 Spirit Cu is worthy of its pinnacle position in the range. Like all GIYA speakers, it owes its striking design to a simple but profound idea: that curved surfaces and smooth lines produce a cleaner, more transparent and more honest sound than conventional flat planes and angles.

A true four-way system, the G1 Spirit Cu uses five separate drivers to bring you the most seamless, transparent sound you've ever experienced, revealing your favourite music in more detail than you ever imagined possible.

EVERYTHING IN PERFECT BALANCE

The massive internal volume gives the G1 Spirit Cu the most powerful bass performance of all our GIYAS. But it goes far beyond mere weight of sound. Thanks to our patented reaction-cancelling bass drivers, you can hear every note clearly and individually exactly as it was played, free from distortion or muddiness.

The same applies to the mid-range and high frequencies, where our patented Tapered Tube loading eliminates the resonances that add unwanted colour to the sound.

A BOLD STATEMENT PIECE

The GIYA G1 Spirit Cu isn't the kind of loudspeaker that sits quietly in a corner: it's a bold statement piece that commands attention. You can choose from three classically elegant standard finishes – Lexus Pearl White, Piano Black and Oyster Grey Matte – with myriad other colours available as bespoke options.

However, their real genius is that when you listen to them, they all but vanish: the technology works so seamlessly, smoothly and precisely, you're simply not aware of it. The fourth wall between you and the original performance disappears, and it's just you and the music, exactly as it was meant to be.

THE EXTERNAL CROSS OVER OPTION

In the interests of versatility, all Giya Cu models are available with an external crossover option. The crossover is housed in a separate case, finished in piano gloss to the same high standard as the main loudspeaker and equipped with two pairs of input terminals to permit the same bi-wire and bi-amped options as the standard loudspeaker. A professional-grade eight-way cable is provided to link the crossover with the loudspeaker with the connection being provided by a metal-cased NL8 professional loudspeaker connector.

The crossover can very easily be disconnected and an eight-way cable fitted, permitting connection to four amplifiers with a signal-level active crossover being used to divide the spectrum as required by the four driver sections of the loudspeaker.
