is ﬁnished in a Cherry veneer please be aware that it will naturally darken with age more so than other types of wood

veneer.

Re-cycling

Correct Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by User in Private

Households in the EU

This symbol on the product or accessories indicates that they must not be disposed

of with your household wastes throughout the EU. To prevent possible harm to the

environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly

to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources. Instead it is your responsibility

to dispose of your waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point

for recycling WEEE. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment will

help conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects

human health and the environment.

RoHS Declaration of Conformity

Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the

reduction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

equipment, January 2003.

This lightening ﬂash with an arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle,

is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage”

within the products enclosure that may be of sufﬁcient magnitude to constitute a

risk of electric shock to the persons.

Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No

user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

This exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user

to presence of important maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

This is a “Class II”, “double insulated apparatus”.

This apparatus must NOT have a safety connection to Earth.

For more speciﬁc information about where you can take your equipment for recycling please contact your local city/council

ofﬁce, your local waste disposal service or the outlet where you purchased your GSW12 product.

Background

The RoHS directive restricts the use of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent Chromium (CrVI), polybrominated

biphenyl (PBB) compounds, and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) compounds in electrical and electronic equipment

sold in the European Union.

Unpacking

Care must be taken at all times when handling the GSW12 due to the extreme weight of the product. We

recommend a two-person lift wherever appropriate.

The feet/spike assemblies and mains power cord/s are contained within the packaging and should be removed.

Please select the power cord appropriate to your Country/location. Mains voltage selection for 100-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac

operation is electronically auto selected.

To remove the GSW12 from its carton, place some protective material on the ﬂoor and having removed any items of packing

from the top of the pack carefully invert the carton. (Also see icons on the carton). Gradually pull the carton upwards to expose

the subwoofer, which will be presented with its base uppermost. Remove ﬁxing tape from the bag and expose the base of

the cabinet to allow ﬁtting of the spiked feet into the M10 threaded inserts as described below.

Spiked Foot Fixing For Carpeted Floors

The spiked foot assembly incorporates a spike for use on carpeted ﬂoors and also, a soft polymer pad (for use on wooden or

tiled ﬂoors).

Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet, or trailing mains leads that could be damaged by the

spikes.

The foot comes fully assembled for use on carpeted ﬂoors. All that is

required is ﬁxing into the cabinet. This is achieved by simply screwing

the feet fully into the 4-threaded inserts in the underside of the cabinet.

If your carpet has a very thick pile, remove the soft polymer pad from the

foot to ensure the spike goes right through the carpet onto the ﬂoor. With

great care turn your cabinet the right way up. Place the cabinet in your

desired location, and check that it is level on all sides. If it is slightly off

level, unscrew the spike at the lowest point and check again. Continue this

process until the cabinet is fully level. Use the locking nut on the foot to ﬁx

the foot in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.

Spiked Foot Fixing For Wooden/Hard Floors

For use on solid ﬂoors or where spikes are inappropriate, it is possible

to use the foot without the spike insert. To use the foot in this manner

carefully grip the knurled portion of the spike and rotate anti clockwise to

unscrew the spike fully.

You may ﬁnd it easier to ﬁrst remove the polymer pad to gain more

purchase on the spike.

The pad should be replaced before carrying out the levelling operation

previously described.

Amp and Control Panel

Monitor Audio 2007 GSW12 Rev 1

1. RCA Line Level Inputs (Stereo Left & Right)

For connection to a 2 channel/ stereo ampliﬁer system. Connection should be provided by a pair of high-quality signal

cables from the pre-out section of an ampliﬁer. Note: - cable lengths should not exceed 10 metres to avoid interference

from other electrical appliances.

2. RCA Line Level Outputs (Stereo Left & Right)

RCA line level outputs are provided in order to use other sub-woofers in conjunction with the GSW12 by ‘daisy chain’ type

connection. The outputs are link out only connections and do not provide any form of ﬁltering.

3. LFE Input (RCA Type)

This input is to be used when connecting the GSW12 to an AV ampliﬁer/receiver. When using the LFE input, the crossover

function in the menu/set-up is not used. This is due to the crossover function being controlled by the AV ampliﬁer/

processor to which it is connected. Please refer to the crossover table on page 10 for further advice on which setting to

use. Input between LFE and Stereo input (Inp) can be switched using the ‘LFE’ button on the remote control unit.

4. LFE Output/Link (RCA Type)

LFE output is provided in order to use other sub-woofers by ‘daisy chain’ type connection. The output is a link out only

connection and does not provide any form of ﬁltering.

5. 12 Volt Trigger Input ~ Centre Pin = +12Vdc.

For external power control from AV ampliﬁer/Receiver to the GSW12. Monitor Audio recommend using this function and a

lead is supplied. This 12 volt signal is supplied by the AV amp/receiver and tells the GSW12 to turn on from standby mode.

This allows a more accurately controlled method of the auto on/off function. It is also a lot more energy efﬁcient. The

display will change from a clock to a ‘3.5mm jack’ image (see key on page 1 of Set Up Guide for illustrations). The stand by

function on the remote will not be operable when using the +12v trigger.

6. Mains Power Switch

Mains ‘rocker switch’ providing overall power off and on/auto. In the on/auto mode, the unit will turn on when an input

signal is sensed, and will turn off after a user preset delay when the signal is removed (source turned off).

7. IEC Mains Power Connector/Fuse Location

The GSW12 is supplied with a two-pin mains input socket for connection to the mains supply. Use ONLY the appropriate

IEC mains lead provided with the product. Also ﬁtted is an external mains fuse. If a fuse blows during operation a spare

fuse is provided within the fuse holder for replacement. If you wish to change the fuse, you can do this by removing the

IEC mains lead and carefully levering out the original fuse from its holder below the IEC mains input socket (7a). If the fuse

blows again it is advisable to seek help from an authorised service agent. DO NOT attempt to re-ﬁt a further fuse as this

could result in serious damage to the ampliﬁer unit.

8. Recycling and Approval Certication

The approval identities will differ to that displayed depending on the country you are in.

9. Display

This LCD display provides full feedback of the ampliﬁer settings. The default display will show the EQ settings, the

output volume and graphic output display (constantly changing). When the enter button is pressed (on the remote), or the

encoder pushed down, the ‘menu’ system is displayed. For full details of the menu system, please go to page 9.

10. Push-Turn Control Button

This gives you full control (except EQ selection) of your GSW12. By default, you can adjust the volume (by

turning the control button) and enter the menu system. Pushing the rotary encoder allows access of the menu system

illustrated on page 9. For more detailed operation and set up please refer to page 10.
