G5 into an unswitched outlet, or a switched outlet that can always be left ON.

The built-in amplifier has an auto-sensing circuit that will put the amplifier into stand-by when there is no music being played for around 25 minutes. It will immediately switch the amplifier on if there is a signal sensed.

Hence, leave the amplifier on unless you will not be using the system for an extended period of time (like a month-long vacation). When you return, the system may sometimes encounter what we call a cold-startproblem. After the amplifier has been turned off for an extended period of time, it may squeal when first turned on.

Leave the amp squealing for 15 seconds (it won’t hurt the loudspeaker). Then turn it off. Wait another 15 seconds, and turn it on again. If it stops squealing, well and good. If not, leave squealing for a bit longer this time (an additional 15 seconds), and turn it off. Repeat until the loudspeaker stops squealing. It should take no more than two to three times before the amplifier warms up and stops squealing.

Source Input Connections

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

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
