Mounting considerations

Align the loudspeakers correctly
Always place the loudspeakers so that they are
aimed towards the listening position. Vertical place-
ment is preferable, as it minimizes acoustical can-
cellation problems between the drivers around the
crossover frequency.
Maintain symmetry
Check that the loudspeakers are placed symmetri-
cally and at an equal distance from the listening
position. If possible, place the system so that the
listening position is on the centerline of the room
but not exactly at the center of the room. Place the
loudspeakers are at an equal distance from the
centerline and also at an equal distance from the
listening position.
Minimize reflections
Acoustic reflections from objects close to the loud-
speakers like desks, cabinets, computer monitors
etc. can cause unwanted blurring of the sound im-
age and also cause frequency response problems.
These can be minimized by placing the loudspeak-
er clear of any hard surfaces.
Minimum clearances
Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and function-
ing of the reflex port must be ensured if the loud-
speaker is installed in a restricted space such as a
cabinet or integrated into a wall structure. The sur-
roundings of the loudspeaker must always be open
to the listening room with a minimum clearance of
5 centimeters (2") behind, above and on both sides
of the loudspeaker. The space adjacent to the am-
plifier must either be ventilated or sufficiently large
to dissipate heat so that the ambient temperature
does not rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95°F).

Mounting options

The G One and G Two offer several mounting op-
tions: The Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decou-
pler™) vibration insulating table stand allows tilting
the loudspeaker for correct vertical alignment. On the
base of the loudspeaker is a 3/8" UNC threaded hole
compatible with a standard microphone stand. On
the rear there are threaded holes for Omnimount®
brackets. G One also has threaded holes for Sanus
and VESA brackets.

Maintenance

No user serviceable parts are to be found within the
amplifier unit. Any maintenance or repair of the unit
should only be undertaken by qualified service per-
sonnel.

Safety considerations

Although the G One and G Two have been designed
in accordance with international safety standards,
the following warnings and cautions should be ob-
served to ensure safe operation and to maintain the
loudspeaker under safe operating conditions:
Servicing and adjustment must only be
performed by qualified service personnel.
The loudspeaker must not be opened.
Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or
moisture. Do not place any objects filled with
liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or
near it.
This loudspeaker is capable of producing sound
pressure levels in excess of 85dB, which may
cause permanent hearing damage.
Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is
necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not
obstruct airflow around the loudspeaker.
