Setting Up The Gold Fx - Monitor Audio Gold Serie Manual Del Usuario

Setting up the Gold FX

The Gold FX's are independent speakers that can be tailored to be either left or right handed at the flick of
a switch. Likewise, they can be operated in either di-pole or mono-pole modes. The default factory setting
is mono-pole.
In mono-pole mode, only the main driver and tweeter will be active. In di-pole mode, the main tweeter is
disengaged and the side drivers and tweeters are active. The front firing tweeters are out of phase with the
other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is recommended to implement this configuration when using two pairs
Gold FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the Gold FX's taking up positions on side and rear walls. Please
note, it is essential they are positioned correctly when used in a 7.1 channel system. Please refer to the
switch positioning images on pages 7 and 8.
NOTE: Before adjusting any switches, please ensure that the amplifier is at the very least
turned off. This will help to protect the amplifier.
Tweeter Attenuation Switch: This switch adjusts the level of the main high
frequency tweeter unit. In the middle position, there is no attenuation. Placed
in the '-' position, the high frequencies will be attenuated by 3dB. Placed in the
'+' position, the high frequencies will be boosted by 3dB.
Location Switch: This switch is used when determining the location of the Gold
FX's. Please refer to the illustrations on pages 7 & 8 for correct positioning.
This will only make a difference when in 'di-pole' mode.
Mono-pole/ Di-pole Switch: This switch determines the actual mode of
the Gold FX. When part of 5.1 systems as a rear speaker, set the switch to
mono-pole. Although there is nothing wrong with experimenting and trying
the switch in the di-pole mode. If part of a 7.1 system as side speakers, set the
switch to di-pole. If using 4 Gold FX's (side and rear) set them all to di-pole
mode. Please see the illustrations on pages 7 & 8 to determine the setting of
the 'Location Switch' depending on system set up.
If you are using the 12v trigger, set the switch to monopole mode. The trigger
will switch a relay to enable the di-pole mode.
12 volt Trigger: (Not shown) This feature is present on some AV amplifiers. It
is possible to customise the 12v trigger to switch the speakers to di-pole for
certain sources. For example, multi-channel music should be listened to in
mono-pole mode, however, movies should be listened to in di-pole mode. This
feature automates the switching between the two modes. Please refer to your
AV amplifier manual for further instruction.
