• פאַרבינדן דיין אַודיאָ מקור צו די קאַנאַל 1 און קאַנאַל 2 inputs using XLR, 1/4-inch balanced, or phono (RCA) cables. Ensure secure connections.
• For stereo operation, connect the left channel of your source to Channel 1 and the right channel to Channel 2.

3.3 Connecting Loudspeakers

The GX5 provides versatile output options for connecting your loudspeakers:

• Speakon / 1/4-inch (TS) Combo Outputs: Use Speakon connectors for secure, high-power connections. These outputs also accept 1/4-inch TS plugs.
• ביינדינג אַרטיקלען: For other speaker wiring systems, use the binding posts. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
• Connect your loudspeakers to the corresponding Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs. Verify that the impedance of your speakers matches the amplifier's capabilities (4 ohms or 8 ohms).

3.4 מאַכט קאַנעקשאַן

1. פאַרזיכערן די amplifier's power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC INLET on the rear panel of the amplifier and then to a grounded AC power outlet.

4.1 פּאַוערינג אויף / אַוועק

• צו מאַכט אויף, דריקן די מאַכט אויף switch on the front panel. The Power LED will illuminate.
• צו מאַכט אַוועק, דריקן די מאַכט אויף באַשטימען ווידער.

4.2 Adjusting Gain Controls

• Use the detented געווינען קאָנטראָלס on the front panel for Channel 1 and Channel 2 to adjust the input sensitivity.
• Start with the gain controls set to their minimum position (fully counter-clockwise) before playing audio.
• Gradually increase the gain until the desired volume level is achieved without the Clip LED illuminating frequently.

4.3 פֿאַרשטיין LED אינדיקאַטאָרן

• Power LED: ינדיקייץ די ampליפיער איז פּאַוערד אויף.
• סיגנאַל געפירט: Illuminates when an audio signal is present at the input.
• קלעמערל געפירט: Illuminates when the output signal is clipping (distorting). Reduce the input level or gain if this LED lights up frequently.

4.4 Using the Subwoofer/Satellite Crossover

The GX5 features a built-in crossover for optimized speaker performance:
