A slim 19 cm wide, delivered as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton GLE 30 S2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \"compact\" doesn't mean \"small in sound\" here. The 174 mm ATB driver uses the same diaphragm type as the large GLE floorstanding speakers – stiff, light, low in distortion. Add to that the AB tweeter with waveguide, which radiates cleanly even when you're not sitting exactly on-axis. With 89 dB efficiency and 4–8 ohms it's uncomplicated: a normal stereo or AV amplifier is entirely enough. The rear-facing bass reflex port (backfire) gives you flexibility in placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-way bass reflex with rear-facing resonator (backfire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e174 mm ATB woofer\/midrange for controlled bass and clear mids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 mm AB tweeter with waveguide, brilliant highs up to 40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38–40,000 Hz, 89 dB efficiency – easy to drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal\/music power handling 90 \/ 140 W, impedance 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA slim 19 cm front, magnetically attached fabric cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton GLE 30 S2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: the GLE 30 S2 is a fit if you want rich sound but have no room for floorstanding speakers – as a stereo pair on stands or on a shelf, or as high-quality rear speakers in a home cinema. For a large living room with lots of deep bass, you'll additionally need a floorstanding speaker or a subwoofer. Otherwise: this much Canton in this little a cabinet is rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLE 30 S2 sounds more grown-up than its size suggests – punchy, cleanly layered, no gimmicks. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we sit down with you, check the placement on a shelf or on stands, and set up the matching amplifier right away, so that everything really comes together in the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data – Canton GLE 30 S2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e bookshelf speaker (largest compact model in the GLE series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex (backfire resonator)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer\/midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174 mm Aluminium Titan Black (ATB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm aluminium black dome with waveguide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38–40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 89 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 \/ 140 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e screw terminal, banana-plug compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black (decor, silky matte lacquered front)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 × 36 × 27 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.4 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair of GLE 30 S2 in black, speaker feet, magnetic fabric covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Canton GLE 30 S2 delivered as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the listed price is for two bookshelf speakers – one complete stereo pair. You get both boxes with magnetic fabric covers and instruction manual, and can start right away. That way you don't have to order twice and have a complete set at home immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the GLE 30 S2 need speaker stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not mandatory, but they help. At ear height and with some distance from the back wall, the GLE 30 S2 plays more openly and spaciously. It also works on a shelf or on a low sideboard – a bit closer to the wall then adds extra bass. We have matching stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the GLE 30 S2 suitable for home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, very well. It combines seamlessly with the GLE S2 series – for instance the GLE 50 Center S2 as a centre channel and a Power Sub for the low end. As a front or rear speaker it fits sonically into the set, because all GLE S2 models share the same driver technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow large can the room be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLE 30 S2 feels at home in small to medium rooms, around 12 to 25 m². In larger rooms or if you prefer high levels and deep bass, a floorstanding speaker from the GLE series is the more capable choice. We'll help you assess it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton GLE 30 S2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause placement and amplifier matching are what decide the sound with a compact speaker.
