Chapter 1: Introduction 1

GSR Speakers Guide2

Chapter 2: Setups

11

This chapter shows how to set up and power your GSR
speakers, and provides audio connection diagrams of a few
typical setups.

Speaker Positioning

GSR10 and GSR12

GSR speakers can be positioned standing upright, as a floor
wedge monitor, flown, or mounted on a standard speaker
stand (not included).

Standing

When positioned on the floor standing up straight, the speak­ers can be stacked (never stack more than two GSR speakers).
When stacking a speaker, make sure its feet align properly on
the top of the lower speaker using the interlock feature on the
tops of the GSR10 and GSR12 cabinets.

Flown

For suspension mounting or “flying” your GSR10 and GSR12,
there are five (5) M10 flypoints located on the top, bottom,
and back of the cabinet. Simply thread in a corresponding
M10 eye-bolt, and you’re ready for “flying” your GSR
full-range cabinets.

To access the M10 flypoints:

 On the top, bottom, and rear of the cabinet, remove the

threaded caps that cover the M10 inserts.

Mounted

Each GSR10 and GSR12 features a 36mm pole mount recepta­cle on the bottom, enabling you to mount the speaker on any
standard 1 3/8-inch speaker stand. After mounting a speaker
on any pole or stand, be sure to hand-tighten the rear stabiliz­ing screw on the back of the cabinet. This ensures the cabinet
does not move or turn during performance.

Floor Wedge

The GSR10 and GSR12 also have 45° angled sides that let you
lean it back on itself, like a typical “floor wedge” monitor.

GSR10 mounted on a pole stand

The GSR18 subwoofer has a 1 3/8-inch pole mount on its top,
letting you use a standard speaker pole to mount a GSR10 or
GSR12 directly on top of a GSR18.

Chapter 2: Setups 3

GSR18

The GSR18 should be placed on the floor or stage. Do not
stack speakers directly on top of the GSR18 unless you are us­ing the pole mounts and one GSR10 or GSR12.

AC Power

(All GSR Models)

GSR speakers provide automatic input voltage sensing (110V
to 240V).

To connect power to a GSR speaker:

 Connect the included AC power cable to the AC Input in

the back of the speaker. Connect the other end to your wall
outlet or other power source.
