Introduction Thank you for purchasing Monitor Audio Gold Signature loudspeakers. The new Gold signature range has been designed from scratch with improvements in every area, whilst the ethos of the original Gold reference series has been preserved.
Please retain this manual for future reference. Safety Instructions 1. Read Instructions Please read and follow all of the instructions in this manual before enjoying your loudspeakers. Any instructions preceded by this warning triangle MUST be followed. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage the speakers. 2. Water & Moisture The loudspeakers should not be used near water - for example, bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, washing machine, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Your Gold GS LCR A centre speaker is often required to produce over 60% of the entire sound output and, therefore, must be able to faithfully reproduce explosions and sound effects as well as it does clear, tonally accurate dialogue. The outstanding dynamic reach and generous power handling of the GS LCR means that it can cope with the most demanding inputs and always have something in reserve. New design ideas have been employed to optimise accuracy, control and dispersion over a wide listening area.
Your Gold GS FX The new GSFX is a completely new design from Monitor Audio. A combined di-pole and monopole speaker for use in high-end or professional cinema applications. In monopole mode the front firing RST®2 bass/ mid-range and C-CAM® tweeter provide an accurate full-bandwidth sound-field for use in multiples or as a rear effect.
Setting up the GS FX (Optimum Performance) 12 volt Trigger. When DVD soundtracks are made, they are done so with the original cinema reproduction in mind. In movie theatres, there are a greater number of speakers than discreet channels. Because of this, you get an effect that encompasses the viewer a lot more, and the imaging from front to back, and left to right is a lot more seamless. The closest to a cinema the majority of people can practically have is a 7.1 system.
Front Panel Switches Tweeter Attenuation Switch. This switch adjusts the level of the main high frequency tweeter unit. In the middle position there is no attenuation. Place it in the ‘-‘ position and the high frequencies will be attenuated by 3dB. Place it in the ‘+’ position and the high frequencieswillbe boosted by3dB. Location Switch.

Fixing Your GS FX to a Wall CAUTION: You will need to determine where the GS FX will be fixed and the structure of the wall. For safety reasons, if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing, do not attempt to fix these speakers to your wall, please obtain the services of a competent qualified trades person. CAUTION: Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity cables running behind where the wall brackets are going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.
Connecting Your Gold GS Loudspeakers You will notice that when you unpack your loudspeakers, there are plastic terminal caps in the terminals where the speaker cable connectors should go. These can be simply removed by placing a thin, flat object underneath them and carefully levering them free. The GS LCR can be either single or bi-wired. The GSFX can only be single wired. Monitor Audio always recommends bi-wiring your loudspeakers for improved sound quality. Please see: www.monitoraudio.co.
