G One
Active Loudspeaker
General description
The Genelec G One is a compact two way
active loudspeaker designed to produce broad
bandwidth sound with high output and low
coloration.
Positioning the loudspeaker
Each loudspeaker is supplied with an built-in
amplifier unit, signal cables, mains cable and an
operating manual. After unpacking, place the
loudspeakers in their required listening positions,
pointing them to the center of the listening area. If
possible, place the listening position to the central
line of the room and the loudspeakers at equal
distance from the walls.
Connections
Before connecting up, ensure that the power switch
on the signal source is set to OFF.
Audio input is via an unbalanced RCA connector.
Only line level audio signal from a preamplifier,
computer sound card or similar signal source can
be connected, never a high power signal from the
speaker terminals of a power amplifier. Once the
connections have been made, the loudspeakers
are ready to be switched on.
ISS Autostart function
When the power switch on the loudspeaker is set
to “ON”, the Intelligent Signal Sensing TM (ISS TM )
autostart function of the loudspeaker is active.
Automatic powering down to standby mode
happens after a certain time when playback has
ended. The power consumption in standby mode
is typically less than 0.5 watts. The playback will
automatically resume once an input signal is
detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic powering
up. If this is undesirable, the ISS TM function can
be disabled by setting the “ISS DISABLE” switch
on the back panel to “ON” position. In this mode,
the loudspeaker is powered on and off using the
power switch on the back panel.
Level -10 dB switch
The “LEVEL -10 dB” switch reduces the input
sensitivity of the G One by 10 decibels. Select the
setting that matches the desired playback volume.
Setting the tone controls
The frequency response of the Genelec G
One can be adjusted to match the acoustic
environment by setting the tone control switches
on the rear panel. The controls are “Tabletop”
and “Bass”. Table 1 shows some typical settings
in various situations. Figure 2 shows the effect of
the controls on the frequency response.
Tabletop
This switch is recommended to be switched
to “ON” when the loudspeakers are placed on
a table or similar surface, such that there is a
reflective surface between the loudspeaker and
the listener. Such a placement typically causes
