position – and then use the home theatre processors level control to
dial in the level. However, having the LFE gain control allows you to
tune the LFE if your two systems have completely different gain
structure.

LFE Output

Along with the LFE input, the G5.2 has a unique capability of LFE
output. This is a true powered balanced output, and hence, can
convert a single-ended input signal into a true balanced output. This
buffered output can be used to daisy-chain the LFE signal to other
LFE inputs including other G5.2 speakers and separate subwoofers.

Thus, it is possible to channel the LFE signal from your home
theatre processor to one speaker, and then from that speaker to
another, and to another, and to another!

Distributing the bass is also helpful for reproduction of multi-channel
music because you get incredible articulation and detail in the bass
all around the room.

The Refinement stage

After following the rough setup guide above, you may not be
completely satisfied with the results. We share with you here some
of our observations in setting up these loudspeakers.

One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind. Make one
change at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the
speakers and make an adjustment to the tweeter, midrange, and
bass all at once. Make each of these changes separately and note
the difference - by listening - with each adjustment, then make the
next change.

A common problem we find with many set-ups is a tendency to
separate the speakers too far from each other. This gives an
unnaturally wide soundstage between the two speakers, and creates
problems beyond the unnatural width of the center stage. The key
problem is a lack of soundstage information beyond the left and right
sides of the speakers, and also a loss of focus between the
speakers.

If you find that the sound is not spacious enough or you are not
getting enough front to back depth, pull the speaker away from the
front wall. This is typically preferable to separating the two speakers
