If you are planning to use long runs (more than 10 feet) of
interconnects to connect the line-level LFE inputs of your G5 to
your processor, we suggest that you use the balanced XLR inputs.
For runs of interconnect less than 10 feet (3 metres), a single-
ended interconnect can be used.
LFE Gain
The G5 has a knob that controls LFE GAIN separately from the BASS
GAIN. This allows you to have the G5’s plugged both into your
audiophile stereo system as well as your home theatre system at the
same time without conflicts. The usual way to control the level of the
LFE output is to set the LFE gain to 6 – the twelve o’clock position –
and then use the home theatre processors level control to dial in the
level. However, having the LFE gain control allows you to tune the
LFE if your two systems have completely different gain structure.
LFE Output
Along with the LFE input, the G5 has a unique capability of LFE
output. This is a true powered buffered balanced output, and hence,
can convert a single-ended input signal into a true balanced output.
This buffered output can be used to daisy chain the LFE signal to
other LFE inputs including other G5 speakers and separate
subwoofers.
Thus, it is possible to channel the LFE signal from your home
theatre processor to one speaker, and then from that speaker to
another, and to another, and to another!
Distributing the bass is also helpful for reproduction of multi-channel
music because you get incredible articulation and detail in the bass
all around the room.
The Refinement stage
After following the rough setup guide above, you may not be
completely satisfied with the results. We share with you here some
of our observations in setting up these loudspeakers.
One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind. Make one
change at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the
speakers and make an adjustment to the tweeter, midrange, and
bass all at once. Make each of these changes separately and note
