LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION (GX-150 only):
The GEMINI GX-150 speakers are a dual voltage unit operating at 115 or
230 volts. Be sure to set the proper voltage before operating:
1. Place the head of a screwdriver in the center of the V
OLTAGE SELECTOR (4)
switch found on the rear panel.
2. Slide the switch to 115 or 230 volts.
3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause damage. If
the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified technician.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Make sure ALL your equipment is completely OFF and lower ALL VOLUME, LEVEL, & GAIN controls and before connecting the speaker.
1. For the GX-100 passive speaker, use a S
PEAKON CABLE from your AMPLIFIER
OUTPUT to the SPEAKON INPUT JACK (1) on the rear of the speaker.
2. For the GX-100 passive speaker, you may C
HAIN-LINK
additional speakers
by running a Speakon Cable from one speaker cabinet to another. The ability to do this may depend on the output power and load conditions of your
amplifier, as Chain-Linking speakers in this fashion will affect the overall
impedance.
3. For the GX-150 active speaker, the amplifier is built into the rear of the
speaker cabinet. This means that you can connect a Microphone directly to
the XLR M
IC INPUT
(7), or you can connect a balanced Line Level device to
the XLR L
INE INPUT
(5). Alternatively, you may also connect a Line Level
device to the RCA L
INE INPUTS
(6)
3. For the GX-150 active speaker, you may Chain-Link additional speakers
by running an XLR cable from the XLR L
INE O
UTPUT
(8) of one speaker cab-
inet to the XLR L
INE INPUT
(5) of another speaker. Since each cabinet is
amplified independantly, this process can be repeated indefinitely.
OPERATION:
GX-100:
1. First turn on your M
IXER or other signal source.
2. Then turn on your A
MPLIFIER and increase the VOLUME or GAIN control
as recommended by the A
MPLIFIER’S owner manual.
3. Start playing a typical audio program through the system, and adjust the
volume from the sound source to a reasonable listening level.
GX-150:
1. First turn on your audio source (or connect a Microphone), then turn
the Speaker’s P
OWER SWITCH (3) to the ‘ON’ position. ,The POWER LED (11)
will light. Start playing a typical audio program through the system, and
adjust the volume from the sound source to a reasonable listening level.
2. Use the A
MPLIFIER VOLUME CONTROL (10) control to adjust the volume of
the speaker. If the speaker is overloaded, the CLIP LED (12) will illuminate
red. If the CLIP
LED (12) frequently illuminates red, then lower the
A
MPLIFIER VOLUME CONTROL (10) control, or lower the volume from the
audio source to avoid damaging the speaker or its built in amplifier.
3. Adjust the volume of a connected microphone by using the M
IC VOLUME
CONTROL (9).
