  • Page 4: Product Range Overview

    Through the use of the multi-angle enclosure and flexible mounting options, the G6 can be used in a wide variety of applications from compact floor monitoring to multi-zoning in permanent installations.
  • Page 5: G12 Passive Two-Way Fullrange Loudspeaker

    G12 Loudspeaker The G12 is a powerful, fullrange loudspeaker enclosure. Contained within the sleek enclosure is a 12” neodymium LF driver and a 1” HF compression driver on a rotatable 70° x 50° horn, matched by an internal G-Phase passive crossover network. The flexible design of the enclosure mean it is ideal for compact portable PA, medium scale floor monitoring or medium-to- large scale installation projects.
  • Page 6: G212B Active/Passive Subwoofer

    G212B Subwoofer The G212B is a compact, powerful subwoofer system designed to extend the low frequency performance of G6, G8 and G12-based systems. Through the use of a quasi-bandpass design, the enclosure size is kept to a minimum to allow ease of use in installations where space is a premium.
  • Page 7: G218B Subwoofer

    G218B is designed to extend the low frequency performance of G12 and G15-based systems primarily, although it can also be used to support G8 and G6 systems in large installations. Through the use of a quasi-bandpass design, the enclosure size is kept to a minimum whilst still producing the required low frequency performance.

    SYSTEM SET-UP Safety Considerations Loudspeaker systems are potentially dangerous objects if used incorrectly. Please ensure that you read this section fully, and contact your local dealer should you be in any doubt over correct operation procedures. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of producing damage-inducing sound pressure levels, and hence care should be taken when setting your system up, particularly when it comes to loudspeaker placement within a venue.

    Should any of your drive units fail and need replacing, please follow the guidelines below. G6: LF & HF Drive Units Remove the six screws holding the grille in place. Carefully remove the grille from the front of the enclosure, taking care not to distort the shape.
  • Page 12: G12 Drive Unit Service

    G12: High Frequency Drive Unit Remove the six countersunk bolts with an Allen key, and using a flat blade screwdriver carefully ease the grille out of location. Take care not to damage the LF driver. Using a 4mm Allen key, remove the four M5 socket-head bolts holding the HF waveguide in place. Lift the HF assembly out of the enclosure and carefully disconnect the cables, observing correct polarity for future reference.
  • Page 13: G212B Drive Unit Service

    G212B: Low Frequency Drive Units NOTE: ONLY ATTEMPT TO REMOVE DRIVE UNITS WITH THE G212B LYING FACE DOWN! Remove the socket head bolts securing the rear enclosure door. Ensure not to put unnecessary strain on the cables. Remove the eight bolts holding the drive unit in place. Remove the cables, and lift the driver out of its mounting hole. To reinstate the drive unit, simply reverse the procedure above, ensuring that you have the correct polarity on the drive unit cables (red cable to positive terminal, black cable to negative).
