Operating Instructions
The GigaWorks T20 Series II speakers feature convenient front-access controls for easy adjustment of your audio experience.
- Volume Control: The large knob on the front panel controls the overall volume of the speakers. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease. It also acts as the power switch.
- Bass Control: Adjust the bass level using the 'Bass' knob to suit your preference.
- Treble Control: Adjust the treble level using the 'Treble' knob for clearer highs.
- Headphone Jack: A 3.5mm headphone jack is located on the front panel for private listening. Plugging in headphones will mute the speakers.
- Auxiliary Input: A 3.5mm auxiliary input jack is available on the front panel for quick connection of portable audio devices like smartphones or MP3 players. There is also a second 3.5mm aux jack on the rear of the right speaker.
For optimal sound quality, it is recommended to set the volume on your connected audio source (e.g., computer, MP3 player) to a high level (near maximum without distortion) and then use the volume control on the GigaWorks T20 Series II speakers to adjust the listening level.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the speaker surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Ventilation: Ensure the speakers are placed in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the BasXPort openings on the top of each speaker.
- Storage: If storing the speakers for an extended period, disconnect them from power and store them in a cool, dry place.
