ORCA (Gladen + Focal + Mosconi) — Pro Tips
› Gladen + Mosconi — how the tiers feel
Sigma + PICO Good / Entry
- Easy listening voicing; forgiving off-axis in most doors.
- PICO DSP/amps are compact and quiet—great starting point.
- Best for daily drivers wanting clean vocals and simple tuning.
Zeta + ONE Better / Mid
- More dynamic headroom and bite for rock, hip-hop, EDM.
- ONE 8|10 DSP + ONE 1 stack = strong control & easy expansion.
- Pairs nicely with a ported Gamma sub for lively bass.
AERO + PRO Best / Reference
- High resolution and realism with excellent micro-detail.
- PRO 8|30 DSP + PRO power delivers ultra-low noise and grip.
- Ideal for 3-way stages and careful time-alignment work.
› Focal + Mosconi — pick your flavor
Flax Evo + PICO Good / Entry
- Warm, musical tone with excellent vocal presence.
- Compact PICO stack fits easily behind trim or under seats.
- Great for 2-way or simple 3-way without a big rack.
K2 Power M + ONE Better / Mid
- Live, energetic presentation; strong midbass punch.
- ONE 8|10 DSP adds routing and limiter tools for daily loud.
- Works great with a well-sized 12″ sub, sealed or ported ~33–35 Hz.
Utopia M + PRO Best / Reference
- Reference-grade clarity, staging, and transient speed.
- Common stack: PRO 8|30 DSP + dual PRO 1|10 monos for the sub.
- For listeners chasing “front-row” imaging and micro-detail.
› Mosconi amps — PICO vs ONE vs PRO
PICO
- Ultra-compact with integrated DSP options (6|8, 8|10).
- Perfect for space-limited OEM-friendly installs.
- Pairs well with Gladen Sigma or Focal Flax Evo.
ONE
- More current and control; flexible 8|10 DSP brain.
- Ideal for K2 Power M or Gladen Zeta when you want to play loud, clean.
- Easy to add a dedicated sub amp (ONE 1) for more impact.
PRO
- Flagship noise floor and authority; deeper stage and bass control.
- 8|30 DSP is the reference “brain” for true 3-way active systems.
- Best match for Utopia M or Gladen AERO tiers.
› 2-Way vs 3-Way — quick refresher
Why 3-Way can win
- Dedicated mid (~250 Hz–2.5 kHz) lowers distortion & improves imaging.
- Lets tweeter and midbass operate in sweet spots.
When 2-Way is enough
- Limited space for 3″ mids or tight budgets.
- Good 6.5″ midbass + quality tweeter crossed ~2–3 kHz still sounds great.
› Subs & boxes — tuning targets
10″ vs 12″
- 10″: tighter, faster impact; sealed ~0.6–0.8 ft³.
- 12″: more output & extension; sealed ~1.0–1.25 ft³ or ported ~33–35 Hz.
Integration tips
- Keep rear fill subtle (−12 to −20 dB) and delayed for a front-stage focus.
- Time-align midbass to sub; check phase around the crossover point.
