Features

Compatibility

Subwoofer output

The GLA-55 system packs a powerful punch on its own but, for added bass response, the subwoofer output allows connection to most stand-alone subwoofer systems.
The GLA-55 speaker system is compatible with virtually any audio device with an analog output. A stereo mini-jack connection allows you to enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), satellite radio and laptops.

Advanced technology

GLA-55 speakers feature many proprietary technologies to provide the highest quality sound, including astonishing bass and clear, accurate sound in any location. Atlas AL and Aluminum Tweeters The aluminum tweeters provide accurate high frequencies but are also capable of lowfrequency extension to four octaves; the Atlas AL drivers are capable of nearly 1" peak-to-peak travel for tight, accurate bass reproduction. Their pairing provides a full, rich frequency response from the lowest bass to the highest highs. Slipstream Port Design The GLA-55 port minimizes boundary layer separation, providing high-output bass with low distortion. COE (Computer-Optimized Equalization) The GLA-55 system equalization is computer-optimized to provide a rich, complete soundstage over a wide range of listening positions. OCT (Optimized Compression Topology) GLA-55 speakers utilize a proprietary compression technology, which ensures clean, accurate sound at high output levels.
Easy-to-use music controls
Just a touch increases or decreases the volume. Touch both volume controls simultaneously to mute the audio output. Touch again to unmute. An LED on the front of both satellites lets you know whether the system is on, on standby, or muted.

Beauty and sound

The GLA-55 is a stylized multimedia focal point. Not just an exceptionally high-quality audio system, its also from its chrome base to its fully visible audio engine and port a piece of art. No detail is left unrefined. The faceted cut-glass enclosures are a first in desktop audio systems, and will integrate beautifully with home and office dcor.

Digital power and DSP

The GLA-55 system delivers with a powerfully tuned digital audio path. The clean and compact digital amplification, coupled with DSP (digital signal processing) equalization, efficiently provides GLA-55 transducers with cool-running power.
