Description  

Harmon Kardon’s new GLA-55 2.0 loudspeakers. With slender, jewel-like bodies cut from real glass – not acrylic – they look almost otherworldly in design.

Besides creating a stunningly different aesthetic value, the material chosen for the speaker carcass, which Harmon says is the same used in bulletproof glass, reduces resonance thanks to its stiffness, increasing bass performance and cutting down on distortion.

COMPATIBILITY
The mini-jack stereo connection allows you to enjoy awesome audio from a variety of devices such as digital music players, computers (all platforms), stereos and portable listening devices.

TECHNICAL
Harman Kardon has also used its top-end drivers in the unit: CMMD Lite Tweeters that produce frequencies up to 20kHz, and Atlas AL Woofers, which supposedly mimic the bass created by ordinary 18-inch woofers, but in a package one sixth the size. A horn-like “slipstream port” below also eliminates the distortion sometimes heard as a whacking noise thanks to its unique shape

Amount of change in harmonic content of the signal as it is amplified. A lower figure indicates less change and a more accurate amp. THD below 1% is inaudible.

The unit of measurement for impedance or resistance. It tells you how much a device will resist the flow of current. If you take two signals of exactly the same strength and send one to a 4-ohm speaker and the other to an 8-ohm speaker, twice as much current will flow through the 4-ohm speaker. In other words, the 8-ohm speaker will require twice as much power (wattage) to play at the same volume.

The range of sounds, from bass to treble, a stereo component can reproduce. It's measured in Hertz (Hz), and a wider range is better — the bass will be lower and the treble will be higher. Humans can perceive sounds from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The lowest note on a bass guitar is about 41 Hz. Most male vocalists have a range between 100 and 500 Hz. Cymbals hit at about 15,000 Hz.
