The Gale 30 Series is the result of extensive research and development undertaken to provide you with accurate and uncompromised reproduction of movie soundtracks and music.
With attention to detail second-to-none, these loudspeakers not only guarantee outstanding enjoyment but their elegant, clean lines also allow them to integrate seamlessly into your home.
If you're looking to turn your
living room into a state of the art home cinema; if you want your sofa cushion
to become the throne in a private palace of music; if you want a set of speakers
so beautiful they could double up as exotic sculptures - then feast your eyes on
these.
The Gale 3040 bundle delivers six
incredible speakers to bring your audio fantasies to life. It's one of the
choicest speaker packages ever to grace the Digital Home
office.
At the forefront are the two Gale
3040 Floor-Standing Speakers. The culmination of many years of research and
testing, these speakers are the flagship of the Gale range. With pinpoint
resolution and exciting dynamics, they provide outstanding enhancement to your
movies and music.
To create the surround sound
experience, Gale employs a pair of its 3060 Bi-Polar Rear Speakers. These
compact, discreet speakers have been specially designed to accurately reproduce
all the amazing hi-tech effects that movie-makers weave into their films. From
the biggest explosion to the tiniest background detail, every piece of sonic
inspiration remains intact.
Further enriching the home cinema
experience is the Gale 3050 Centre Speaker. Using the same drive unit
construction as its 30 series brothers, this vital component integrates
seamlessly into the overall effect, ensuring maximum clarity of dialogue and
total consistency across the audio spectrum.
Finally there is the lodestone, the
rock upon which the whole edifice rests, the Gale 3080 Active Subwoofer. Packed
with 100 watts of pure power, this speaker creates a deep, vibrant bottom end.
If you like your music and movies to really fill the room, to dominate the space
and make you feel each heart beat, each kick drum thud, this is a subwoofer that
is more than willing to handle the task.
| |
When all these speakers are working
in tandem the effect can be truly astonishing. Factor in their sleek, stylish
design and this is a supremely tantalising package.
Now add one more factor: an amazing
Digital Home discount of $1,347. This brings the price down to just $849 ($832
cash), making this one of the most irresistible bargains we've ever offered
here.
If you want a sound system that will
blow your mind, it's simple: bring a Gale into your lounge
room.
This bundle includes:
Pair Gale 3040 Floor Standing Speakers Flagship of
the 30 Series range, the three way 3040 delivers impressive resolution and
dynamics; a tremendous speaker for both music and movies.
Pair Gale 3060 Bi-Polar Rear Speakers These
bi-polar speakers are purpose designed to reproduce the special effects movie
makers create. Their compact size and range of finishes allows them to be
positioned discreetly in a full home theatre system.
Gale 3050 Centre Speaker Clear dialogue replay is
crucial to any movie soundtrack and by employing the same drive unit
construction throughout 30 Series, clarity and seamless integration are assured.

and authority. This 100 Watt power house offers a prodigious low end adding real
potency to every movie sound track.

Pros: A quality speaker system that produces highly detailed sound and great clarity of dialogue. Cons: Surround sound experience in high action scenes may lack clarity From Essential Home Cinema Guide ...
This is a weather warning. Over the next few paragraphs we can expect to see a wide area of high frequency pressure moving in from all four corners of the living room, coupled with thunderous bass and a downpour of surround sound effects. During quierter scenes, this output will ease off to leave clear spells of dialogue and smooth audio detail. Don't venture out unless absolutely necessary - stay in and watch a film instead.
This is the new Gale speaker system experience. And despite being discrete in stature and very modest in price, it is a breath of fresh air ... these are old-school speakers, traditional in design and avoiding gimmicks that look good on paper but do little to enhance performance. They are all purpose work horses, providing a good quality of sound for movies and multi-channel audio alike.
For such a compact set of speakers, the HT 30.1 surprises in its ability to deliver a robust, meaty performance. The dialogue channel is particularly impressive. Offering a satisfyingly crisp and accurate voice reproduction that is open and expansive enough to make us forget it is coming from such a small driver. It is also a bass-filled output- subwoofer, not withstanding, giving a rich, deep quality to the foreground noise that enhances its natural flavour. For an explanation, a quick glance at the specs reveals a respectably low frequency output from the centre channel and satellites.
The front and surround speakers also punch above their weight, by outputting a far larger amount of fine detail than we had expected. Every subtle or minor sound, such as footsteps on gravel or the whistle of calm breezes, is delivered with realistic clarity and a genuine sense of texture and distance. It’s a quality that is shown in its best light during quiet, moody and atmospheric scenes, where the speakers provide enough clarity and power to create a subtle soundfield, which fill a spacious room easily.
The sub is powered by its own 65W amp. It’s not a high power rating but it still manages to produce a serious rumble. The bass output is ever-present, sometimes making itself more noticeable than we would like but adding real kick to loud, explosive scenes. It needs to be kept under control, but by keeping its level low and adjusting its crossover to around 100Hz, the sub can be easily tamed.
The HT 30.1 isn’t without its weaknesses. The surround experience offered during action sequences is less than dynamic, with background detail struggling to attain the same level of open, expansive clarity that we enjoy from the foreground dialogue. Speech tends to overwhelm other elements of the soundtrack, preventing the speakers from creating a audio image that truly fills the room. This is a pity because, as we have already observed, the amount of detail being produced by the surrounds is very substantial.
Nevertheless, for a budget and extremely compact set of speakers, the Gale HT 30.1 offers a more than convincing surround experience for newcomers to home cinema. A smooth and accurate output coupled with great attention to detail makes this system excellent value for money. |

Pros: particularly clear, good frequency response Cons: too much control over the bass, more than I can be bothered understanding. Speakers are terrific, they look good and sound better, particularly the central speakers, they make the whole movie experience better, let's face it most of the sound is supposed to emminate from the picture! Having said that the satellite units are good also, particularly obvious with DTS sound. |

Pros: The sound and the look Cons: None I am glad I had a friend who found the Gale speakers website. Now I have top speakers at an affordable price. The light wood finish look goes with our decor and the whole family is happy. I wouldn't bother writing a review unless I felt the deal was outstanding. |

Pros: Nice finish, good sound, well thought out for simple & more complex sound set ups Cons: doesnt come with cables, most dont, but for the novice I didnt know this so had to wait an extra few days to get it set up easy to set up, floor standing is great. but super sharp pin legs. overall sound is great.. really aimed more towards home theatre.. however have run the decks through them as well.. and easily handled.. if you're running tv/amp/computer/ipod dock AND turntables.. in one apt or house.. then you'll get everything you need out of these |
