Unpacking
Ensure there is plenty of clean floor area around where you are proposing to unpack the
loudspeakers. Remove any lose components from the packaging (feet, bolts, plinths, etc)
and invert the carton. Lift the carton up and remove the packaging end cap. Remove the
tape from the bag(s)revealing the bottom of the cabinet(s).
With the GX50 and GX100, stand the cabinets upright and remove the remaining packaging
end cap and bag(s). Place the cabinets on the stands and position them according to
instructions on page 8.
With the GX200 and GX300, fit the plinths and feet before proceeding any further.
GX 200/ 300 Plinth Fixing
Fit the plinths and spiked feet to the base of each speaker. All fixings are supplied. Refer to
page 5.
The plinths are provided for stability as well as improving the acoustic performance of the
speakers. Due to the tapered shape of the cabinets, it is not recommended to install them
without the plinths fitted as the speakers are likely to be unstable.

Spiked Foot
For Wooden/Hard Floors
(GX200 & 300 only)
The foot comes pre-assembled for use on hard/solid floors or
where spikes are inappropriate. All that is required is fixing them
into the plinths. This is achieved by screwing the feet fully into
the 2 threaded holes in each half of the plinth.
With great care turn the cabinet the right way up. Place the
cabinet in the desired location, checking that it is level on all
sides. If slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest point
and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully
level. Use the locking nuts (illustrated on page 4) on each foot
to fix the feet in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
For Carpeted Floors
(GX200 & 300 only)
If being installed on carpeted floors, remove the spike from the
packaging and fix it into the foot assembly, as illustrated.
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that
could be damaged by the spikes.
With great care turn the cabinet the right way up. Place the
cabinet in the desired location, checking that it is level on all
sides. If slightly off-level, unscrew the foot at the lowest point
and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is fully
level. Use the locking nuts (illustrated on page 4) on each foot
to fix the feet in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
Grilles
The grilles are held invisibly in place by magnets in the cabinet itself (except GX-FX).
When fitting, firstly ensure they are the correct orientation (badge at the bottom) and offer
them up to the cabinet. The magnets should them pull them into position, but it may need
some fine adjustment to ensure it is square on the cabinet.
The GX-FX comes with the grilles factory fitted. When removing them, carefully prise them
away from the cabinet with the tips of your fingers. There are three separate grilles fitted
to each GX-FX cabinet.
CAUTION: Always remove the grilles before attempting to move or lift the loudspeakers.
