A Polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prongs are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Accurate full bandwidth frequency response and wide dynamic capability are hallmarks of this system. The GS-3a is a robust monitor system that combines high dynamic and sound pressure capabilities for tracking sessions, with a highly accurate and translat- able system for mixing function, all in a 14”...
SYSTEM COMPONENTS The complete GS-3a Studio Monitor System (2.0 Configuration) is comprised of the components listed and shown below. 1) Low Frequency Driver Enclosure 2) Mid/High Frequency Driver Enclosure w/ Integrated Acoustical Decoupling System 3) Mounting Bracket for Mid/High Frequency Enclosure...
LOUDSPEAKER SET UP The GS-3a Studio Monitor System can be set up in either a horizontal or vertical configuration as shown below CAUTION: Speaker stands must be robust and solid with a minimum weight capacity of 100 lbs (45.4 Kg) per stand.
BRACKET MOUNTING Brackets are mounted to the low frequency enclosures with the (4) screws provided. Locations for each configuration are shown in the following diagrams. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. TURN SCREW UNTIL THE BRACKET JUST SEATS FIRMLY AGAINST THE ENCLOSURE. Vertical Configuration: Horizontal Configuration: NOTE: There are defined left and right mounting holes as shown in the diagram.

MID/HIGH FREQUENCY ENCLOSURE MOUNTING Inspect the attached wiring harness in the back of the mid/high frequency enclosure. Make sure that none of the wires going to the drivers have become detached during shipping. If they have become detached the color code is as follows: Midrange (+) Orange (Dome Plug) Tweeter (+) Yellow (Lug)
DSP Module (GS-XD4080) & AMPLIFIER MODULE (GS-A3) SET UP (A) Mount the DSP Module and Amplifier Module in the appropriate location near the loudspeakers. CAUTION: KEEP AMPLIFIER MODULE TURNED OFF UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS ARE SECURED Note: When mounting in a rack enclosure, a minimum of (1) blank rack space is required both under and over the GS-A3 Amplifier Module for heat dissipation.

(D) Connect the 8-Pin Speakon cables from the Amplifier Module to the speakers. The connectors insert and lock into position with a slight twist. (E) Connect the power cables to the appropriate source. The power supplies in both units are self detecting 100- 240 Volts. You are now ready to power the system up………….
GS-XD4080 DSP MODULE SET UP: (without optional software interface) A) Front Panel Functions 1. USB – a standard Type B USB connector. Device driver from the provided software CD must be installed prior to usage. 2. RS232 – a standard female DB9 socket. A straight through cable is required for PC connection.

value. For 1st degree all-pass (AP-1) filter, the bandwidth will set the phase shift at the centre frequency. This phase shift is gradually changed from 180 degrees above the centre frequency to the specified value. LVL: The EQ level (or gain) ranges from -30.00dB to +15.00dB in 0.25dB steps. E) Input Graphic Equalizer IN_1: ______ MENU: GEQ...

G) PC Control Software The GS-XD4080 is shipped with a special PC Graphic User Interface (GUI) application - referred to in the software as the Guzauski-Swist DSP Processor "G-S DSP ". "G-S DSP" gives the user an option to control the unit from a remote PC. The GUI application makes it much easier to control and monitor the device, allowing the user to get the whole picture on one screen.

The Guzauski-Swist DSP Processor allows the end user to access the following: 1) Select Digital or Analog Input settings NOTE: Digital input is available on DB-25 connector 2) Access Input EQ (Parametric & Graphic) 3) Access Delay settings 4) Select Input Gain...
Take a piece of masking tape or Scotch tape and gently apply the sticky side to the area of the dent. Pull the tape outward away from the dome. Repeat until dome is restored to its original shape. NOTE: Field replaceable diaphragms are available from Guzauski-Swist if tweeter is too severely damaged or electronically overdriven.
