While using this connection, switch the Bass Input Selector to the
down/line-level position. This will bypass the high-level input from
the servo amp, and the bass input is taken directly from the low-
level inputs. Do NOT connect both the XLR and RCA inputs at the
same time.
If you are planning to use long runs (over 10 feet or 3m) of
interconnect to connect the line-level inputs of your G5 to your
preamplifier, we recommend that you use a balanced connection.
The Acoustic Platform
The G5 sits on a suspension system designed to allow the
loudspeaker to perform at its optimum. It consists of three elements
– neoprene vibration-absorbing de-couplers, a tuned skeletal acrylic
frame, and stainless steel spikes. The system holds the loudspeaker
firmly, and yet isolates it from the floor on which it sits.
Like the architectural suspension of a
skyscraper in Tokyo, the suspension
allows the speaker to sway at
frequencies that do not affect the sound,
and yet remain absolutely rigid at higher
frequencies.
After you have positioned the speakers,
screw down the supplied spikes from the
top of the suspension frame to raise the
speaker off the floor so that it only rests
on the spikes and no part of the frame
touches the floor. The suspension frame should be barely off the
surface on which the loudspeaker sits.
If on thin carpet, hardwood floors or stone floors,
this should be less than 1/16” or 1.5mm. On deep
pile carpet, screw the spikes down until the
suspension frame is not resting heavily on the
carpet.
A second set of shorter spikes and hole covers
(included with this Owner’s Manual) are provided
for a neater cosmetic. However, any adjustment
and fine-tuning should be completed before these are used as the
thumb-screw spikes are much more convenient to adjust.
