Onkyo Creator Series GX-30ARC – Desktop Powered Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

Connect and create
Built-in USB-C, line/phono, and optical ports are included for hard-wired audio purists, while Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio connectivity means streaming is simple and lag-free even at distance. The GX-30ARC also features HDMI ARC and 3.5mm AUX inputs for additional connectivity to keep pace with any creative project you have in mind.

Bi-Amplification
By equipping one speaker with two amplifiers and driving the speaker’s tweeter and woofer with separate amplifiers, each amplifier operates efficiently, improving sound accuracy and achieving clarity in the high range and stability in the low range.

Life sounds better with Onkyo
Content creators, work-from-home professionals, and gaming gurus are at the heart of Onkyo’s re-entry into the speaker market. Class D amplification provides clear, smooth sound while original digital signal processing (DSP) technology delivers audio just the way the creator intended.

Bold sound, minimal footprint
Powered monitors are speakers that don’t require external amplification or processing equipment to produce incredible sound. Your Onkyo Creator Series monitors take up less space than passive speakers, so you have more desk, console, or bookshelf space without compromising on audio quality.

For the love of music
Onkyo’s long storied past of innovation and norm-breaking consumer audio devices isn’t an accident. A company built by and for audiophiles, we’re committed to build the best audio video consumer products that inspire the next generation of creatives to express themselves through the universal language of music.

Technical precision meets Japanese minimalism
Clean lines and carefully selected materials combine to make these contemporary speakers to fit any aesthetic. Your Onkyo Creator Series Powered Monitors are minimalistic and meticulously engineered to be beautiful additions to your creative space, while still maintaining a natural, organic appearance.

Premium audio for all
Onkyo has a long history of providing high fidelity products to a broad audience. Without sacrificing performance or style, the Onkyo Creator Series combines stellar audio performance, modern features such as Bluetooth 5.3 and HDMI technology, and affordable components for that high-end sound you’ve been looking for.

Built for creators
These days, many people spend long hours at their desks, engaged in creative work. Whether it’s video editing, programming, design, or writing. To stay focused and motivated, or in creative flow, good sound is essential. So we wanted to create a speaker with rich musicality in a very small body, aimed at providing sound that supports ingenuity and helps creators stay in the flow. That’s why we designed the Creator Series.

Why a fully digital amplifier?
One of the biggest innovations in the Creator Series is its fully digital amplifier. Unlike traditional speakers that convert digital signals into analog before amplification, these speakers amplify digital signals directly and output them to the speakers. This method brings three big benefits: Clear sound with very low noise, powerful bass, even from compact speakers, energy efficiency for long-term use; altogether, perfect for a desktop setup.

Any source sounds good
Of course, there’s a challenge: Fully digital amplification is honest. Poor-quality audio sources (like compressed YouTube videos or low-res streams) can sound rough on typical digital amps. That’s why we took a different approach. Instead of focusing on making only high-resolution files sound great, we aimed to make everyday sources sound enjoyable, carefully tuning the sound so that whatever you’re listening to, it feels good. To help you stay productive and inspired. During development, we constantly tested with real-life sources like compressed audio distributed over the internet, carefully tuning the sound not only in a complete listening room, but also in a life-like environments where customers would actually listen. Of course, that means our engineers have been using them daily in their own home environments.

Connect anything — effortlessly
With USB, Bluetooth, optical, line-in, and phono EQ, the Creator Series connects to almost anything: Your PC, smartphone, CD player, or even a turntable. And setup is easy. It’s just one cable and you’re ready to play. Plus, there’s an included remote control for easy input switching. No hassle, just good audio.

Audio designed to support creativity
Our vision is to continue evolving the Creator Series to match the way people work and create. Looking ahead, we plan to add features like custom EQ settings and new DSP technology, among other things. Whether you’re working, studying, or creating, music should be a positive force that makes the process more enjoyable. And at the end of the day, our goal isn’t just to give you good sound, it’s to make your creative time better.
