Onkyo introduced its Creator Series powered speakers at CES 2025, a new line aimed at meeting the diverse audio needs of today’s users. Designed for creators, gamers, and music lovers, these speakers promise a blend of high-performance sound, sleek design, and modern connectivity to suit any environment.
The lineup features two models: the Onkyo GX10DB and the Onkyo GX30ARC. Both models blend modern aesthetics with compact form factors, making them suitable for desktops, laptops, and even home entertainment setups. With a focus on functionality and accessibility, Onkyo's Creator Series provides users with versatile options for both productivity and leisure.
The GX10DB and GX30ARC pack significant performance into their compact enclosures. Equipped with efficient Class D amplifiers and advanced DSP (digital signal processing) technology, the speakers promise precise audio reproduction across the frequency spectrum. From deep, resonant bass to clear mid- and high-range tones, the Creator Series is engineered to handle diverse audio needs.
Despite their small size, both models aim to deliver power and clarity that rival larger, more traditional speaker systems. These qualities make them versatile enough to enhance audio experiences for everything from gaming marathons to music production and casual streaming.
Onkyo’s Creator Series places equal emphasis on form and function. Both models come with an angled stand to optimize sound direction and reduce desk vibrations. The stands are crafted from a durable ABS resin material with a textured finish, combining strength with a modern appearance.
The speakers are available in two finishes, black and white, ensuring they complement a wide variety of room styles. Additionally, the included infrared (IR) remote control enhances convenience, allowing users to manage their listening experience effortlessly.
One of the Creator Series' standout features is its extensive connectivity options. Both models support Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless wireless audio and include physical connections such as USB-C, RCA/phono, and optical inputs. The GX30ARC goes a step further by offering HDMI ARC, a feature that simplifies connection to TVs and sound systems.
These connectivity options ensure compatibility with various devices, including turntables, gaming consoles, and mobile devices. The addition of subwoofer pre-outs also means users can expand their setup to include deeper bass when needed.
