Unpacking, GX 200/ 300 Plinth Fixing | Monitor Audio GXC 150, GX-FX

Unpacking

Ensure there is plenty of clean floor area around where you are proposing to unpack the loudspeakers. Remove any lose components from the packaging (feet, bolts, plinths, etc) and invert the carton. Lift the carton up and remove the packaging end cap. Remove the tape from the bag(s)revealing the bottom of the cabinet(s).

With the GX50 and GX100, stand the cabinets upright and remove the remaining packaging end cap and bag(s). Place the cabinets on the stands and position them according to instructions on page 8.

With the GX200 and GX300, fit the plinths and feet before proceeding any further.

GX 200/ 300 Plinth Fixing

Fit the plinths and spiked feet to the base of each speaker. All fixings are supplied. Refer to page 5.

The plinths are provided for stability as well as improving the acoustic performance of the speakers. Due to the tapered shape of the cabinets, it is not recommended to install them without the plinths fitted as the speakers are likely to be unstable.

Spiked Foot

For Wooden/Hard Floors

(GX200 & 300 only)

The foot comes pre-assembled for use on hard/solid floors or where spikes are inappropriate. All that is required is fixing them into the plinths. This is achieved by screwing the feet fully into the 2 threaded holes in each half of the plinth.

With great care turn the cabinet the right way up. Place the cabinet in the desired location, checking that it is level on all sides. If slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully level. Use the locking nuts (illustrated on page 4) on each foot to fix the feet in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.

For Carpeted Floors

(GX200 & 300 only)

If being installed on carpeted floors, remove the spike from the packaging and fix it into the foot assembly, as illustrated.

Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that could be damaged by the spikes.

Grilles

The grilles are held invisibly in place by magnets in the cabinet itself (except GX-FX).

When fitting, firstly ensure they are the correct orientation (badge at the bottom) and offer them up to the cabinet. The magnets should them pull them into position, but it may need some fine adjustment to ensure it is square on the cabinet.

The GX-FX comes with the grilles factory fitted. When removing them, carefully prise them away from the cabinet with the tips of your fingers. There are three separate grilles fitted to each GX-FX cabinet.

CAUTION: Always remove the grilles before attempting to move or lift the loudspeakers.
