Operating Manual

General description

The Genelec G Two is a compact two way active
loudspeaker designed to produce broad band-
width sound with high output and low coloration.

Positioning the loudspeaker

Each loudspeaker is supplied with an built-in
amplifier unit, signal cables, mains cable and an
operating manual. After unpacking, place the loud-
speakers in their required listening positions, point-
ing them to the center of the listening area. If pos-
sible, place the listening position to the central line
of the room and the loudspeakers at equal distance
from the walls.
Connections
Before connecting up, ensure that the power switch
on the signal source is set to OFF.
Audio input is via an unbalanced RCA connec-
tor. Only line level audio signal from a preamplifier,
computer sound card or similar signal source can
be connected, never a high power signal from the
speaker terminals of a power amplifier. Once the
connections have been made, the loudspeakers
are ready to be switched on.
ISS Autostart function
When the power switch and the "ISS" switch on
the back panel of the loudspeaker are set to "ON",
the Intelligent Signal Sensing
function of the G Two is active. Automatic power-
ing down to standby mode happens after a certain

time when playback has ended. The power con-
sumption in standby mode is typically less than 0.5
watts. The playback will automatically resume once
an input signal is detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic pow-
ering up. If this is undesirable, the ISS
can be disabled by setting the "ISS" switch on the
back panel to the "OFF" position. In this mode,
the loudspeaker is powered on and off using the
power switch on the back panel.
Switching off the power
indicator LED
The power indicator LED of the G Two can be
switched off by turning the "LED OFF" switch on
the back panel to "ON".
Level -10 dB switch
The "LEVEL -10 dB" switch reduces the input sen-
sitivity of the G Two by 10 decibels. Select the set-
ting that matches the desired playback volume.
Setting the tone controls
The frequency response of the Genelec G Two
can be adjusted to match the acoustic environ-
ment by setting the tone control switches on the
rear panel. The controls are "Tabletop" "Low
Bass" and "Bass". Table 1 shows some typical
settings in various situations. Figure 2 shows the
effect of the controls on the frequency response.
