	1	FUSE HOLDER/VOLTAGESELECTOR and MAIN POWER CONNECTOR. Please make sure that your local
		voltage matches the voltage indicated on the unit, before you attempt to connect and operate your GX SERIES
		loudspeaker. Blown fuses may only be replaced by fuses of the same type and rating.
	2	Use the POWER switch to put your GX SERIES loudspeaker into operation.
	3	MAIN INPUT. These XLR connectors (GX-801 and 1001) and XLR, 1/4” and RCA connectors (GX-1201 and
		1501) are the inputs for the signal source. The GX-801 allows you to choose what input type the XLR will be,
		simply by using Switch	11	you can choose weather the XLR input is a LINE level input or a MICROPHONE
		input. The GX-1001 has	separate XLR inputs for MIC and LINE and are adjustable individually. The GX-1201
		and 1501 as well as having individual balanced XLR inputs for both MIC and LINE they also have UNBAL-
		ANCED 1/4” input for MIC and UNBALANCED RCA inputs for LINE level input.

4AUX INPUT The GX-801 has an UNBALANCED RCA AUX INPUT and the volume is controlled by the master volume. The GX-1001/1201 and 1501) have both BALANCED (XLR) and UNBALANCED (RCA) and allow you to connect an auxiliary input source, if both MAIN INPUT and AUX INPUT are connected simultaneously both inputs will be heard.

5LINE OUTPUT is directly connected to the input and or inputs of the GX SERIES loudspeaker and provides a one-to-one copy of the input signal, for example, to loop the input through to the input of another device

(e.g. a second GX SERIES loudspeaker).

6POWER and CLIP LED The POWER LED will illuminate when the system is in operation. The CLIP LED will illuminate when the system is overloading, running your GX SERIES loudspeaker at CLIP levels is not recommended and will cause the internal amplifier to fail and or the MAIN POWER FUSE to blow.
