G Two

Active Loudspeaker

General description

The Genelec G Two is a compact two way active
loudspeaker designed to produce broad band­width sound with high output and low coloration.

Positioning the loudspeaker

Each loudspeaker is supplied with an built-in

amplier unit, signal cables, mains cable and an
operating manual. After unpacking, place the loud­speakers in their required listening positions, point-

ing them to the center of the listening area. If pos-

sible, place the listening position to the central line

of the room and the loudspeakers at equal distance
from the walls.

Connections

Before connecting up, ensure that the power switch

on the signal source is set to OFF.

Audio input is via an unbalanced RCA connec-

tor. Only line level audio signal from a preamplier,

computer sound card or similar signal source can

be connected, never a high power signal from the
speaker terminals of a power amplier. Once the
connections have been made, the loudspeakers

are ready to be switched on.

ISS Autostart function

When the power switch and the “ISS” switch on

the back panel of the loudspeaker are set to “ON”,

the Intelligent Signal SensingTM (ISSTM) autostart
function of the G Two is active. Automatic power­ing down to standby mode happens after a certain

time when playback has ended. The power con­sumption in standby mode is typically less than 0.5
watts. The playback will automatically resume once
an input signal is detected from the source.

There is a slight delay in the automatic pow-

ering up. If this is undesirable, the ISSTM function

can be disabled by setting the “ISS” switch on the

back panel to the “OFF” position. In this mode,
the loudspeaker is powered on and o using the

power switch on the back panel.

Switching o the power
indicator LED

The power indicator LED of the G Two can be

switched o by turning the “LED OFF” switch on

the back panel to “ON”.

Level -10 dB switch

The “LEVEL -10 dB” switch reduces the input sen­sitivity of the G Two by 10 decibels. Select the set­ting that matches the desired playback volume.

Setting the tone controls

The frequency response of the Genelec G Two
can be adjusted to match the acoustic environ­ment by setting the tone control switches on the
rear panel. The controls are “Tabletop” “Low
Bass” and “Bass”. Table 1 shows some typical
settings in various situations. Figure 2 shows the

eect of the controls on the frequency response.
