2 Complete Set-up Guide
2.1 Positioning
A good starting position for the G6.1 is about 18 inches (0.45m) into
the room, as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you
are seated listening to the speakers), to the back of the base of the
speaker. Start with the speakers six feet apart with the tweeters placed
closest together, and angled in (toed-in) towards the listener by about 5
degrees. You will want to sit 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 metres) away from
the speakers (if you have the space). We will experiment with moving
the speakers around later.
As these speakers are dipolar, they are really room-friendly and you are
free to move the speakers closer to, or further away from the front and
side walls. We do recommend, however, that you give the speakers a
little bit of breathing space behind them, so don’t push them up tight
against the wall.
If you have the speakers too close to the front wall, you will find that the
image depth is not as good - the soundstage becomes a little two-
dimensional. If you have the space to move the speakers away from the
wall, do so. You will be rewarded with the deep, broad soundstage that
this loudspeaker is capable of. You should be able to “see” the
soundstage behind, as well as in front of, the loudspeakers. The sound
stage will also extend outside the left and right sides of the speakers.
2.2 Power Connections
Connect the power cord to the built-in amplifier, check the voltage
selection and then plug that into a power socket. A heavy-duty power
cord is included with your speakers for this purpose. We do not
recommend using an extension cord for the G6.1 due to the high power
demands of the 500W amplifier. However, if you MUST use an
extension cord, use an extremely heavy duty one used for professional
construction equipment if you can find it.
Before you plug the power cord in, please make sure that the
voltage selector is set to the proper voltage. Taiwan, Japan and
North America will require the 115v setting. Most European countries
and other Asian countries will require 230v. We recommend that you
plug the G6.1 into an unswitched outlet, or a switched outlet that will
always be left ON.
The built in amplifier can draw over 5 amperes at 110V or 2.5 amperes
at 240V with source material that has extremely heavy bass. As many
rooms North America are wired with only 20 amperes of current, you
