Freedom to move with the GT 051.
The GT 051 is included
with the purchase of the GT 308 and
accepts the same GT Key drives. Imagine being able to record in
the studio, pull the GT Key drive and take it home to mix the
record there.
What sets this system apart
from all other “Hot-Swap
FireWire” products is that Glyph uses its proprietary Integrity™
hot-swap interface in the GT Series. When a GT Key is removed
from the bay, the disconnect happens at a FireWire level. FireWire
was designed to allow the removal and insertion of devices,
whereas ATA was not. Glyph’s Integrity™ FireWire hot-swap
interface provides greater reliability than existing hybrid ATA-to-
FireWire products.
Focused on keeping your studio quiet,
GT Key and GT
Series enclosures incorporate sound-dampening metal in their
inner-frames. This composite metal technology absorbs drive
vibration and reduces unwanted noise.
