Gladen – Exzellente Car Audio Technik
Perfection emanates from the symbiosis of passion and science. It’s these facets that Henning Gladen, founder and namesake of Gladen Europe GmbH; embodied like no other. From Henning himself originally through to a successive team of engineers from the Swabian region in southwestern Germany; these are the gifted people responsible for the elaborate, fine-tolerance and specialist production of the exclusive Gladen speaker and subwoofers. Thanks to Henning and the rock-solid foundations he built Gladen stands as a globally active high-end audio company, firmly anchored as one of the best. Though sadly no longer physically present with us, Henning's genius lives on in the hearts of Alexandra Gladen and her impressive engineering team. This is conducive to making Gladen so much more than just a brand name on a speaker.

Sigma Series – The Precise Amalgamation Of Control And Kinetics
When Gladen designed the Sigma range it first considered its target audience; the consummate music enthusiast who requires not only superb control but also a little extra volume when required. A range of speakers able to provide the perfect balance between precise aural reproduction and impressive kinetic output. The Sigma series combine quality materials with advanced design technology and high machining standards, successfully combining audiophile level parameters in conjunction with serious sound pressure output levels. The Sigma range are the ultimate drivers for those chasing the best of both worlds!

Design Ideologies
The esteemed Sigma range of components are designed to impress with their optimal price to performance ratio. This allows them to achieve the best possible sound performance with any music material, in car audio applications. All for a modest price.

Meticulous Development
Every component of the Sigma range has been carefully developed and built to meet the high demands of modern vehicle. Maximum flexibility combined with unique performance; the perfect combining of these two worlds resulting in near perfection. Every component of the Sigma range has been carefully designed and built to withstand the rigours of everyday in-car use.

Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute and masterful designer, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies incorporating the latest technological advancements. We canvass some of these in detail below.

High Frequency Precision Meets Flexibility
The Sigma ST 22 tweeters feature high-quality 0.9″ / 22 mm silk domes developed for demanding car audio enthusiasts. As part of the modular Gladen generic system, they offer maximum installation flexibility and impresses with their detailed sound reproduction and dynamic response.

Also included are a comprehensive suite of installation accessories such as mounting rings, grilles and adapters.

so whether installed in A-pillars, mirror triangle mounts or integrated into OEM locations; the ST 22 tweeters can be perfectly adapted to almost any vehicle using included accessories or 3D data files.

Superb Middle Registers
The Sigma SM 50 are high-quality midrange / wideband loudspeakers. They combine state-of-the-art speaker technology with a unique mounting system. This mounting system allows the loudspeaker to be installed both in custom-made interior designs like pillars or in confined installation situations in the original openings of a vehicle.

Furthermore the SM 50 is a 2″ / 50 mm full range cone design with accurate reproduction up to over 20000 Hz. It has a ventilated voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression. The low-loss suspension / high Qms ensures better reproduction of details and dynamics. They come with a hexagon grille for visible installation and an OEM grille, whilst silver brushed or black chrome-plated options are also available, giving you that perfect OEM match.

Powerful Yet Dynamic Bass
The larger siblings of the Sigma stable are the 6.5″ / 165 mm SW 165 and large 8″ / 200 mm SW 200 woofers. These offer some of the best possible price to performance ratio upon the market today, providing the best possible sound performance for any music material in car audio applications.

The woofers provide maximum flexibility combined with unrivaled bottom-end performance. Featuring Gladen’s latest Hexatec compound cone and with motors that enjoy extended maximum excursion; these drivers deliver exceptional low-frequency musical drive. When talking in the range anywhere between high subsonics through to high midrange frequencies; the Sigma woofers output a rock solid sound that’ll transform any car audio system into an incomparable sound experience.
