Complete Home theater Systems

We strongly suggest that you use a matching GoldenEar Technology center channel and rear/surround 

speakers to complete your GoldenEar home theater system. Triton speakers can be used as rear or side 
surround speakers, with exceptional results for both music and movies.

using your triton Speaker with an Additional Subwoofer

Although the built-in subwoofers in your Triton speakers deliver superb low frequency response and are all that 

are required for amazing performance, some listeners (and some very large rooms) may demand even more 
output and want to add an additional powered subwoofer to the system. If you choose to do so, we strongly 

suggest using a GoldenEar ForceField

 subwoofer in order to achieve perfect matching and the highest level 

of performance and quality possible. This should be connected with an additional RCA low-level cable 
connected to the LFE output of your receiver or processor. (Your receiver or processor’s bass management 

system may have multiple setup options for integrating the subwoofer into your system — consult your receiver/ 
processor’s manual and your GoldenEar dealer to select your best setup options.)

Troubleshooting   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

If you experience any difficulties with your Triton speakers, try the suggestions described below. If you are still  
having problems, please consult your GoldenEar Technology Authorized Dealer for assistance.

 

1.  Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place.

 

2.  Should you experience any level of ground hum or noise, try plugging the power cord into the same  

 

 

circuit as your amplifier.

 

3.  The system is provided with sophisticated internal protection circuitry. If for some reason the protection 

 

 

circuitry is tripped, please turn down your system’s volume and wait five minutes before trying the 

 

 

system again. If the amplifier should overheat, the system will turn off until the amplifier cools down  

 

 

and resets.

 

4.  Check to be sure that your power cord has not been damaged.

 

5.  Check that no foreign objects or liquid has entered the speaker.

 

6.  If you cannot get the subwoofer driver to turn on or if no sound comes out and you are sure the system  

 

 

is set up properly, please bring the loudspeaker to your GoldenEar Technology Authorized Dealer for  

 

 

assistance. But make sure you Call First.
