minimized by placing the loudspeaker clear of
reflective surfaces.
Minimum clearances
Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and
functioning of the reflex port must be ensured
if the loudspeaker is installed in a restricted
space such as a cabinet or integrated into
a wall structure. The surroundings of the
loudspeaker must always be open to the
listening room with a minimum clearance of 5
centimeters (2 in) behind, above and on both
sides of the loudspeaker. The space adjacent
to the amplifier must either be ventilated or
sufficiently large to dissipate heat so that the
ambient temperature does not rise above 35
degrees Celsius (95°F).
Mounting options
G Three, G Four and G Five offer several
mounting options: The Iso-Pod™ (Isolation
Positioner/Decoupler™) vibration insulating
table stand allows tilting the loudspeaker for
correct vertical alignment. There are three
mounting points for the Iso-Pod™ on the back
of the loudspeaker cabinet allowing vertical
and symmetrical horizontal positioning. On
the base of the loudspeaker is a 3/8” UNC
(M10 on the G Four and G Five) threaded hole
compatible with a standard microphone stand.
On the rear there are two sets of threaded holes
for Omnimount® and König & Meyer brackets.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are to be found
within the amplifier unit. Any maintenance or
repair of the unit should only be undertaken by
qualified service personnel.

dB, which may cause permanent hearing
damage.
• Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is
necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do
not obstruct airflow around the loudspeaker.
Note that the amplifier is not completely
disconnected from the AC mains service
unless the mains power cord is removed from
the amplifier or the mains outlet.
