Gladen HG-38SG tweeters

The Zero model series is the gateway to Gladen's world of sound quality. All components of this series are hand-made and assembled in Germany, which guarantees top-quality workmanship. German precision is evident in every detail of the Zero series speakers - a membrane made of hardened paper with grains of fine sand, silk tweeters with a design Hexagon grid or a robust magnet guarantee not only an advanced sound presentation, but also high performance. However, the Zero series speakers can be connected to a low power amplifier and even to a factory or aftermarket car radio. This is made possible by optimized efficiency, high sensitivity and reduced impedance to 3 Ohms. A frequency crossover with a wide range of settings also contributes to optimal sound reproduction (does not apply to the Active version). The Gladen GA-38SG tweeters feature an above-average diaphragm capable of playing deeper into the midrange (up to 2000 Hz) than conventional 25mm or 28mm tweeters. For example, vehicles where the mid-bass and center speakers are placed unfavorably and thus have a reduced midrange reproduction, this situation can be compensated by the Gladen GA-38SG tweeters.

Speaker typeCoaxial speakers:
Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam.

Component Speakers:
Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection.

RMS powerRMS speaker power is the constant power of the entire system, not just one speaker or one side. This is also the performance of continuous use of the speakers. If the RMS power is exceeded for a long time, the speakers may be irreversibly damaged! 30W
Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the speaker can play for a moment (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the max power is exceeded, the speakers will usually be damaged! 60 W
Sensitivity (SPL 2.83V/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker.

Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter.

A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume.
95 dB
ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using.

Example:
A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm.

Tweeter dome materialThe shell material that was used in the manufacture of the tweeter. Silk
Frequency crossover included in the packageThe crossover is an important part of defacto all loudspeakers. A crossover usually contains different resistor values, coil sizes, and capacitor types that fundamentally modify the sound. We describe below what the turnouts are for.

Component Speakers:
A crossover is part of every quality component speaker system. Its task is to ensure the distribution of frequencies that the amplifier produces in the entire acoustic spectrum of frequencies so that each of the speakers receives only that part of the band that it can optimally play in terms of efficiency and minimal distortion.

Coaxial speakers:
In most cases, coaxial loudspeakers have a simple crossover (6dB/Oct.) formed by a capacitor at the tweeter.
