Introduction Setting up

The materials and constructions chosen for a
GamuT product will make it last a life time and give
you years of musical enjoyment. Thank you for

choosing a GamuT product.

With the M®inenT Series we are giving you all

our know-how from the El Superiores plus a great
package of newly developed solutions to give you
an exquisite yet affordable package, all made in
Denmark with the use of superior craftsmanship.

The further expanded value for money, we
owe to the new enclosure using the Low reso­nance Hornex® design to further minimize stored
energy, and the new spike system that allows easy
set and perfect grounding even on heavy carpet­ing. A new Tweeter was also designed to eliminate
overexposure to transient/resonant signals from
the recorded material, and the new Woofer for
the M5, and Woofers for the M7, were designed
to give more weight and authority to the lowest
octaves. The Mid-Woofer used in the M3 and
M7, the NRLI Network, the DC coupled midrange
and the Internal Dynamic Damping Dividing we all
inherited directly from the El Superiores.

A speaker is an acoustic instrument; it will work
with your room and generate a combined char­acter. To minimize the negative inuence from the
room and optimize the linearity of the combined
reproduction please follow the simple guide lines
below.

To ne trim the performance, go to the advanced
setup section. Distances are measured from the
Tweeter.

Minimum recommendations in a regular
setup:

Distance to side walls: 4’ or 1,2m
Distance to the rear wall: 3’ 4” or 1,0m

With the “Narrow room” setup (excessive toe-in
where axis meet in front of the listening position):
Distance to side walls: 2’ 4”
Distance to the rear wall: 4’or 1,2 m

With both the regular setup and the Narrow
room setup, position you speaker a minimum of

10’ or 3m apart and the listening position a mini­mum of 10’ or 3m from the speaker.

With a regular setup point the speaker straight
forward.

With the Narrow room setup (where the 3’
clearance to the side room cannot be achieved,
requires a 16’ wall distance) toe-in the speakers so
that the axis of the tweeter is crossing app. 2’–3’
or 60–90 cm in front of the listening position.

Adjust the spikes so that a line starting from the
top point of the Midrange (the driver below the
tweeter), and running in parallel with the top of the
speaker, is pointing to your ear height in the listen­ing position.

If trimming of the bass, midrange or tweeter
level is needed; you can adjust the Bass balance

by changing the position of the speaker, the mid­range character by adjusting the tilt of the speaker,
and the tweeter level by adjusting the toe-in.

Connections

Spike adjustment: The new Spike system is

designed to penetrate heavy carpeting, by using a
sharply shaped center Spike. The Spike is locked
by the outer Knob. Loosen the knob counter
clockwise to allow adjustment of the Spike. Use
an Allen key (Unbrako), size 6 mm, to adjust the
spike. Adjust the spikes to have an even weight
distribution (same slight resistance when turning
the key) to eliminate movement of the speaker.
When the Speaker is positioned in its desired posi­tion turn the outer Knobs Clockwise by hand, until
they lock, to lock the spikes.

Connecting to the amplier:

The newly designed proprietary GamuT Terminals
are made to allow the use of 3 different connec­tions: 8mm spades, 4 mm banana plugs or
stripped wire (Bi-wire only). The terminals come
with a connector bracket to connect the two pairs
of terminals. The upper pair is input for the

Tweeter, the lower pair is input for the Mid/
Woofer section. To optimize for Bi-wiring re-
move the bracket by removing the terminal nuts.

(The positive input is on the right hand side viewed
from the back). Connect your speaker cable to the
speaker before connecting to the amplier.

• For single wire connection we recommend

using the + input for the tweeter (upper right
terminal) and the – input for the Mid/Woofer
(lower left terminal).

• When using Banana plugs insert the plugs

in the center hole, make sure the t is as tight
as possible.

• When using a Spade, loosen the desired

terminal nut and insert the spade between the
terminal and the bracket (single wire use).

• When using a stripped wire remove the

terminal nut and insert the stripped wire into
it. Position the stripped wire onto the conical
part of the terminal base and re-position the
terminal nut onto the thread and turn the nut
until it locks the wire.
