Introducing VIVID GIYA Cu: Elevating Iconic Sound with Copper-Capped Drivers

Experience the VIVID GIYA Cu’s refined design and copper-capped midrange drivers for cleaner sound and a lighter, stiffer cabinet.

A Fresh Take on a Legend

October 9, 2025 – If you’ve ever been captivated by the Giya series, then the new VIVID GIYA Cu is about to steal your heart all over again. Retaining the iconic aesthetics that made the Giya range legendary, this latest iteration steps boldly forward with a modernized enclosure. It’s lighter, stiffer, and sports a smoother finish that’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the ears.

What’s especially neat is the clever design shift in the Giya G3 Cu and G4 Cu models. The tapered tubes that once extended outwards are now neatly tucked inside the main enclosure, thanks to innovative re-entrant absorbers. This design tweak simplifies the speaker’s silhouette—giving it a streamlined look similar to the Giya G2 and Giya G1 Spirit models—which really appeals to that minimalist sensibility without compromising the performance.

The VIVID GIYA Cu showcases its refined copper-capped midrange drivers with a stunning visual presentation of the internal design.

The Magic of Copper-Capped Midrange Drivers

Here’s where the Giya Cu really shines. Vivid Audio has incorporated copper-capped upper and lower midrange drivers, a tech first developed for their flagship Moya M1 model. Fans of Vivid speakers know that their radially polarized magnet systems have long been the secret sauce behind delivering crystal-clear, ultra-low distortion sound. But adding copper caps to these in-house designed drivers takes things to another level entirely.

The result? A significant reduction in harmonic distortions—especially the 2nd and 3rd harmonics. To put it in perspective, the 3rd harmonic distortion drops by a whopping 20 dB. The audible payoff is a soundstage that feels more three-dimensional and immersive, with a noticeably cleaner midrange that's as natural as a live performance. Oh, and the bass? It tightens up too, making rhythms punchier and more satisfying.

Key Points of the New Design

Here’s a quick rundown of what sets the VIVID GIYA Cu apart:

• Copper capped midrange drivers elevate sound clarity and reduce distortion.
• A lighter, stiffer, and smoother cabinet for improved resonance control.
• Moya-style individual grilles that add both style and protection.
• Redesigned crossover to optimize frequency distribution.
• Easy access loudspeaker terminals for convenience during setup.

Vivid Audio Technologies Powering the Giya Cu

The Giya Cu isn’t just about copper caps and cabinet upgrades; it’s a culmination of Vivid Audio’s cutting-edge sonic innovations:

• Catenary Dome profile: Ensures even stiffness and minimal distortion in driver diaphragms.
• Tapered tube loading on all drivers, now cleverly integrated into the cabinet.
• Reaction Canceling compliant mount: Minimizes unwanted vibrations.
• In-house designed and built drivers: Tailored for perfect synergy.
• Super flux magnets: Provide powerful, distortion-free magnetic fields.
• Aerodynamically enhanced reaction-cancelling ports: Optimize airflow and reduce noise.
• Stressed skin technology: Resin-infused glass/carbon fiber sandwich composite enclosure for unrivaled rigidity and acoustic performance.

A Sonic Evolution Worth Listening To

As a longtime fan of Vivid Audio’s craftsmanship, I remember getting lost in the soundscapes created by earlier Giya models. The Giya Cu takes that immersive experience a step further, blending heritage with innovation. It’s like rediscovering a classic album remastered with newfound clarity and warmth.

Whether you’re tuning into a delicate acoustic ballad or a thunderous orchestral crescendo, the Giya Cu delivers with a musicality that’s both precise and emotionally engaging. The design refinements don't just look sleek—they translate into sound that feels alive, breathing, and incredibly natural.

FAQ

• What makes the copper caps on the midrange drivers special?
