GIYA G3
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. 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.
FOR EVERY ROOM, NOT JUST LISTENING ROOMS.
GREAT THINGS IN SMALL PACKAGES
With its distinctive composite enclosure, the G3 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 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 is available in two standard finishes – pearl white and piano black – and any other colour you desire by special order.
GIYA RANGE
INSPIRED BY NATURE,
FORMED BY SOUND
EFFORTLESS, TRANSPARENT SOUND FROM THE WORLD’S MOST
RECOGNISABLE LOUDSPEAKERS
We’re guessing you’ve never seen speakers like them; and you’ve definitely never heard speakers like them. The GIYA range is a direct, deliberate challenge to every aesthetic and acoustic convention. But it’s a rebel with a cause: there’s a cool, precise engineering logic behind every line and detail. And if you can’t take your eyes off them, imagine the effect on your ears. Massive, room-filling yet amazingly laid-back sound, revealing hidden subtleties and nuances in the music you love most. Embrace the extraordinary.
THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE
Our flagship GIYA range is the choice of committed audiophiles and connoisseurs worldwide. The radical shape is defined by proven acoustic principles taken to their logical conclusions, untethered by conventional wisdom and construction techniques. Every element of the design is the products of pioneering innovation, from our patented hand-built drive units to our advanced vacuum infused composite enclosure. Every detail has been considered and refined in our relentless quest to eliminate resonances and reflections – and enhance your listening pleasure.
NATURE KNOWS BEST
The purpose of GIYA loudspeakers is simple: to give you the clearest possible window on the music. No distortion or coloration in the sound, nothing to detract from the performance. Perfect clarity and precision in every note and breath. Even tracks you’ve heard a million times sound fresh, full of new details to discover and enjoy. Achieving it requires some truly remarkable, patented technology. And its true genius lies in the fact that you’ll scarcely notice it at work.
