Introduction Thank you for purchasing Monitor Audio Gold Signature loudspeakers. The new Gold Signature series has been designed with improvements in every area, building on the strength and ethos of the original award winning Gold Reference. Although there are some visual similarities, major improvements have been made in the construction and quality of materials used with a ‘no expense spared’ approach.
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 to 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 GS10 With its advanced, low-resonance drivers, rigid build and contoured cabinet edges, GS10 redefines accurate, low-colouration sound in a compact, stylish stand-mount speaker. Using the new, low distortion 6-inch RST®2 bass-mid driver and gold C-CAM® tweeter developed specially for the GS series, the GS10 is capable of true 3-D imaging and tonal accuracy to rival the best reference studio monitors. To remove the grilles, carefully prize it away from the cabinet using your fingers.
Your Gold GS20 Over its nearest rivals the GS20, pulls decisively ahead in performance, value, good looks and shear desirability. Its two and a half way, three-driver configuration is built around unique dual-cavity cabinet design: 6-inch RST® 2 bass and mid-bass drivers work into separate enclosures, tuned to differential frequency points and different impedances to increase power handling and virtually eliminate distortion.
Your Gold GS60 The elegantly proportioned, three-way GS60 currently represents the state of Monitor Audio’s art. Its performance really is “as close as it gets” to the master recording. Developing the discrete cavity technology of the GS20, the four-driver GS60 recreates the deep bass and authentic scale of a performance, bringing lifelike power, dynamics and realism to music and film. Yet its tall, slender appearance is anything but overpowering.
Plinth Fixing. (GS20 & 60 only) With the cabinet upside-down (it will be this way straight out of the box), carefully place the plinth on the cabinet. The plinth is clearly marked with directions as to the orentation of the plinth - please see the illustration below. The ‘Monitor Audio’ text should be at the back of the plinth. The ‘M’ logo at the front. Use the bolts and hex key provided in the tool box to secure the plinth in place. Please refer to page 7 for spike fixing. © Monitor Audio Ltd 2005 V1 6.
Spiked Foot Fixing (Gold GS20, GS60 only) The composite Gold GS spiked foot incorporates a spike for use on carpeted floors and also, a soft polymer pad for use on wooden or tiled floors. The foot assembly is found in the packing end cap, and the spike in the Monitor Audio Tool Box. Fig. 1. For more technical information regarding the acoustic benefits of the spikes please go to: www.monitoraudio.co.
Levelling your Loudspeakers Carefully turn your loudspeakers over and position them in your desired locations. Take the nylon washer and large locking nut (found in the packing end cap) (Fig. 4) and place the washer over the threaded body of the foot assembly, followed by the locking nut. Fig. 5. Do not tighten it all the way up just yet. Fig. 5. Fig. 4. Place the spirit level (found in the Monitor Audio Tool Box) on top of your loudspeaker to see if it is level.
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. All of the Gold GS Series loudspeakers (except the GS FX) can be either single or bi-wired/bi-amped. Monitor Audio always recommends bi-wiring your loudspeakers for improved sound quality.
