DESCRIPTION

The Gemini GSYS-2000 Dual 8” Bluetooth Party System is all you need to bring the ultimate nightclub experience to any room or event! With 800 watts of power, the GSYS-2000 makes its dual 8” woofers and twin 3 ” tweeters sound amazing at any volume. The DJ style interface makes controlling your music easy and intuitive, and the built-in lights create a party atmosphere. With inputs for microphone and guitar, karaoke and even full-on live performance is as easy as turning a knob.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM

POWERING ON AND STANDBY

There are 2 switches that control power for the GSYS-2000. At the rear of the unit next to the AC power input, there is a switch that can be used to disconnect the unit from mains power completely. However, if you just want to suspend operations but don’t need to completely disconnect power, you can use the STANDBY button located on the top of the unit.

CONTROLLING THE SOUND

The GSYS-2000 can tune the overall sound to suit your needs. Maybe you need a little more bass in the track, or more treble to bring out a singer’s voice. The easiest way to contour the sound is to use the BASS and TREBLE knobs located on the top of the unit.

Turning the BASS knob controls the low frequencies in the track, while the TREBLE knob controls the high frequencies. BASS and TREBLE controls are also available on the unit’s remote control.

The remote also has an EQ button, which acts independently from the BASS and TREBLE knobs. Pressing the EQ button cycles through 5 presets EQ curves (POP/ ROCK/JAZZ/NORMAL/CLASSICAL).

Please note that you can also use the EQ knobs to further tailor the sound.

USING BLUETOOTH

The GSYS-2000 can connect wirelessly to your external music source (for example, your phone or tablet). To enable this feature, you must first pair your external device to the GSYS-2000.

PAIRING

Turn the GSYS-2000 on and press the MODE button until the display shows the word “BLUE”. This is Bluetooth mode. If no Bluetooth device is currently paired, the BT icon will flash to let you know the GSYS-2000 is in SEARCH mode.

On your portable device, make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Search through the list of available Bluetooth devices for “GSYS-2000” and connect to it.

You should now be connected to the GSYS-2000. Any audio from your portable device should now play through the Gemini GSYS-2000 speaker.

You can control basic functions (like play/pause, volume, and previous/next track) with the buttons on the top of the GSYS-2000 (as well as with your media player). You should only have to pair with the GSYS-2000 once. It will remember paired devices and connect to them automatically after first pairing.

USING THE FM RADIO

The GSYS-2000 is equipped with an FM radio receiver and intelligent scanning capability, making finding and storing local stations fast and easy.

Turn the GSYS-2000 on and press the MODE button until the display shows the word “FM”. This is RADIO mode. Be sure to also extend the antenna on the back of the unit to increase the reception.

SCANNING FOR STATIONS

At first, there won’t be any stations stored in the unit. To begin a station scan, press and hold the PLAY button. This will begin the scanning process. When the GSYS-2000 finds a strong station, it will store it as a preset.

Once the scan is complete, you can pick between the available stored preset by pressing the I<< and >>I buttons. The preset number and station frequency will appear in the display.

USB AND SD CARD PLAYBACK

It is possible to play music from either a USB Flash drive or an SD card without the need for an external device (like a phone or computer). Please note that supported file types are “.mp3” and “.wma”.

Turn the GSYS-2000 on and insert either a USB or SD card with compatible music on it.

If the GSYS-2000 does not automatically switch to USB mode, press the MODE button until the display shows the word “USB” or “SD”.

You will now be able to play music from your USB or SD device. Basic controls (for instance play/ pause, next, and previous track) allow you to change songs, etc. You can use the REC PLAY button on the remote to play back any previous recordings stored on the USB or SD card.

USING THE AUX AND GUITAR INPUTS

The GSYS-2000 lets you perform for an audience with the ability to mix external sources. Turn the GSYS-2000 on and make sure the volumes are all down. Insert the included Mic and/ or a Guitar into the inputs and make sure they are switched on.

Press the MODE button until the display shows the word “AUX”.

You will now be able to play live audio from external devices like a microphone and guitar. Full control over volume is available with the left platter (Mic Volume) and top left knob (Guitar Volume). You may also use the Echo knob to add in an echo effect.

USB RECORDING

The Gemini GSYS-2000 can record your live performance. Please note that recording is only enabled when a USB drive and mic are attached.

To begin recording, unit can be in either AUX, USB, or FM mode.

In AUX mode, audio from mic and AUX input will be recorded.
In USB mode, mic input will be recorded.

In FM mode, FM radio audio will be recorded.

Insert your USB drive. The GSYS-2000 will create a directory called “RECORD” that it will put your recordings.

Press the RECORD button to begin recording. You will see the display change to a time readout (starting at 00:01) showing elapsed recording time.

You may now begin your recording. When you are finished recording, press the RECORD button again to stop. Please note that while unit is in recording mode, audio through the speakers is muted. You can use the included remote control to access your new recordings, or you can remove your USB drive and play them on any computer. REC PLAY lets you play back recordings you’ve created, R.DEL allows you to delete the currently selected recording.

CONTROLLING THE LIGHTING

There are 2 buttons on the remote that control the GSYS-2000 lighting. The LIGHT button turns the lights on or off. The RGB button allows you to change the lighting color, cycling through RED, GREEN, and BLUE. Please note that pressing the LIGHT button is how you return the lights to their normal multi-color, sound active mode.

Lighting will change on the speakers shown in the diagram. Other lighting on the unit (for instance, the display color, button backlighting, etc.) will not change.

FAQs

What wattage does a good party speaker have?
If the performance is indoors, you should strive to have at least five watts of power per person. If you want “rave volume” or to play outside, you should definitely increase that and use 10 watts per person.

What volume should a speaker have during a party?
Consider both the indoor and outside dB levels when deciding how loud your speakers should be for a party. The optimal range for inside is between 50 and 60 db. This is loud enough to be heard over the music and other background noise, but not too loud to be uncomfortable or damaging to your hearing.
Party Connect: What Does It Mean?
You can play the same music using the Party Connect function on up to 100 wireless speakers that are compatible (SRS-XB43, SRS-XB33, SRS-XB23). Since the music and lights are synced thanks to Bluetooth® technology, everyone can dance to the same beat. Set the lights to blink in a random pattern or a circle.
What is a good Bluetooth speaker wattage?
Any speaker with a wattage between 150 and 500 is ideal for a wonderful music listening experience and is inexpensive. Every sound has a frequency, which serves as a gauge for the volume of the sound. It’s quantified in Hertz (Hz).

What does “watts” mean in home theatre?
Power. Watts are typically used to represent the amplifier’s entire power output. Make sure your receiver has enough power to be able to supply the connected speakers with the necessary power. A/V receivers should ideally offer at least 100 watts of power to each channel for the best performance.
How can you tell if a speaker is effective?
The louder your speaker is, the higher the sensitivity rating. A typical speaker has a sensitivity range of 87 dB to 88 db. A great speaker has a sensitivity rating of over 90 db.
How loud is a party in dB?
In a tiled room with 80–100 people, a whisper is roughly 30 dB, a regular discussion is roughly 60 dB, and conversations can reach 85–90 db. 90 decibels is quiet and below reasonable levels for a party; a motorcycle engine running is approximately 95 decibels.

What does the speaker term “dB” mean?
Now look at the results, displayed on the microphone or SPL meter in decibels (dB). That demonstrates the speaker’s sensitivity. The louder a speaker can play with a given number of watts, the higher its sensitivity rating. For instance, some speakers have sensitivity levels of about 81 db.
How is dB relate to sound systems?
Decibel (dB), a number used to measure relative loudness of sounds or to represent the relationship between two physical quantities, often levels of acoustic or electric power. One decibel (0.1 bel) is equal to 10 times the power ratio’s common logarithm.
Does sound quality increase with wattage?
Yes, it is true that speakers play louder and clearer at higher power levels (watts). However, slight variations in power don’t produce much of an audible difference. The power would need to double in order to perceptibly hear a change (a 3dB increase).
