2. Placement
Proper speaker placement is crucial for optimal sound quality. Consider the following guidelines:
- Place speakers on a stable, level surface, such as a bookshelf, speaker stand, or sturdy cabinet.
- For stereo imaging, position the speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, forming an equilateral triangle.
- Maintain a distance of at least 5.9 inches (15 cm) from the rear wall to allow the unique guided air duct design to function effectively and enhance bass response.
- Avoid placing speakers in enclosed spaces that might restrict airflow or cause excessive bass buildup.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the speakers and any connected amplifier.

3. Connecting the Speakers
The G521-1 speakers are passive and require an external stereo amplifier or receiver to function. Ensure your amplifier is turned off before making any connections.
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the back of each speaker and on your amplifier.
- Use high-quality speaker wire to connect the positive (+) terminal of the left speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the left channel on your amplifier.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the left speaker to the negative (-) terminal of the left channel on your amplifier.
- Repeat the process for the right speaker, connecting it to the right channel of your amplifier.
- Ensure all connections are secure and that there are no stray wire strands that could cause a short circuit.
Important: Always match polarity (+ to + and - to -) for correct sound reproduction. Incorrect polarity can result in poor bass response and distorted sound.

Maintenance
Cleaning
- Before cleaning, ensure your amplifier is turned off and disconnected from the power source.
- Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the speaker cabinets.
- For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Do not apply liquid directly to the speaker drivers (woofer, midrange, tweeter).
- If the speaker grilles are removable, you can gently vacuum them with a soft brush attachment to remove dust.
Storage
If you need to store the speakers for an extended period:
- Disconnect all cables.
- Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ideally, use the original packaging to protect them from dust and physical damage.
