The built-in amplifier consumes about 10w on standby – about the same as a child’s night-light. Hence, leave the amplifier on unless you will not be using the system for an extended period of time (like a month-long vacation).

Source Input Connections

Connect the speaker-level output of your power amplifier to the High Level Input binding posts using a high-quality loudspeaker cable. Make sure that you have the correct polarity connected for both speakers – the plus or positive (red) terminal on the G5 should be connected to the plus, positive, or red terminal on your power amplifier.

The Bass Input selector switch should be in the up or high-level position – pointing to the inputs being used. This is the

recommended hook-up, both sonically and for convenience.

Nevertheless, if you know that your power amplifier may be deficient in the bass, or does not have a response down to 18Hz (such as some Single-ended Triode amplifiers), you may wish to connect the bass section of the G5 directly to your preamplifier instead.

If you use the low-level inputs for the servo-bass of the G5, you will need to check for the phase correctness of your power amplifier. If your power amplifier inverts phase, you will need to invert the high-level inputs when the bass section of the G5 is driven by the preamplifier.

If you do this, use a good quality balanced interconnect cable to connect the balanced output of your preamplifier to the preamp level input XLR connector, or the single- ended output of your preamplifier to the preamp level input RCA connector on the back plate of the G5.
