Frequently Asked Questions
The GLM system drastically improves accuracy by compensating for room acoustics, minimizing unwanted peaks and dips in the frequency response – it’s almost like having a perfectly treated room.
While powerful, their size and output might be overkill for very small spaces; they truly shine in medium to large studios where their extended frequency response can be fully appreciated.
The coaxial design creates a more unified sound image, minimizing phase anomalies and improving stereo localization, leading to a more immersive and accurate listening experience.
