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.
