Gladen Gamma 130-X Speakers
Gladen Gamma introduces a new generation of drivers designed for modern car audio systems where maximum demands are placed on accuracy, dynamics and control of the resulting sound. The entire series was developed with an emphasis on the most natural and detailed reproduction possible in the acoustically demanding environment of a car, without compromises in distortion, spatiality or tonal balance. Each driver in the Gamma line uses advanced cone materials, optimized magnetic systems and precisely matched parameters so that the individual bands seamlessly connect to create a homogeneous, realistic and exceptionally musical performance. Thanks to the flexible design, Gamma drivers are suitable both for OEM installations and for fully active competition systems with individual tuning.
Coaxial System Focused on Dynamics and Balanced Sound
The Gladen Gamma 130-X brings the typical Gamma sound into a compact coaxial system that combines a midwoofer and tweeter into a single acoustically matched unit and offers simple installation without the need for external crossovers. The speakers were designed for those who want significantly better sound while retaining the OEM look and maximum everyday practicality. The 130 mm midwoofer uses a lightweight and stiff fiberglass cone that provides quick response, a precise bass foundation and natural reproduction of vocals and instruments. The integrated full-range tweeter with a carbon-graphene diaphragm and a 19 mm voice coil delivers a smooth, detailed and airy high-frequency presentation. The result is a balanced, energetic and at the same time musical performance with high clarity of detail. Thanks to the 94 dB sensitivity and reduced 3 Ω impedance, the system can offer significant dynamics and volume even when connected to weaker factory radios, while it also handles more powerful external amplifiers without problems.

About the Brand
Gladen has been one of the most respected German car audio brands since its founding in 1997. The brand's founder, Henning Gladen, originally an aerospace engineer and the company's chief developer, brought the precision, technical know-how and attention to detail typical of the aerospace industry into Gladen products. Development and partly production still take place in Germany, which is reflected in the company's proprietary technologies, patented solutions and the materials used. Thanks to this philosophy, Gladen products are known for their natural, musical and long-term non-fatiguing sound as well as first-class workmanship, which has built the brand a strong reputation not only among demanding listeners but also in competitive EMMA installations across Europe. The brand also includes the renowned amplifier manufacturer Mosconi, allowing the creation of perfectly matched audio systems with an emphasis on tonality, dynamics and maximum reproduction fidelity.| Catalog number | GAMMA 130-X |

| 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. | Coaxial |
| 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! | 80 W |
| 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! | 120 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. | 94 dB |
| Sensitivity (SPL 1W/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. | 89.5 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. | 3 Ω |
| The diameter of the mid-bass speakerWe state the diameter of the speaker as the diameter of the entire speaker, not including the mounts, when smaller speakers (87, 100, 130 mm) have extra mounts. Some speakers are oval and there the dimension is given in inches, always the shortest side to the longest side. One inch is approx. 2.5 cm. | 130 mm |
| Installation depth of the mid-bass speakerThe installation depth of the speaker is measured from the bottom edge of the magnet to the bottom edge of the tin, plastic or cast speaker basket, or speaker bearing surfaces. | 56 mm |
| Mid-woofer diaphragm materialThe material that was used for the speaker diaphragm. Don't be afraid of the paper, it surprisingly has a very natural and high-quality sound and, thanks to the surface treatment, it can withstand moisture without any problems. | Glass fiber |
| Resonant frequency of the mid-bass speaker | 77 Hz |
| Voice coil diameter of the mid-bass speaker | 25 mm |
| Tweeter dome diameterThe net diameter of the dome (diaphragm) of the tweeter. | 19 mm |
| Tweeter dome materialThe shell material that was used in the manufacture of the tweeter. | Carbon fibers with graphene |
