Please go to http://www.goldenear.com/support/registrationandwarranty and use the serial number(s) above to
complete your warranty registration.
UNBOXING
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT PULL ON THE T66 GRILLES - THEY REQUIRE A SPECIAL REMOVAL
PROCEDURE AND SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED FOR SERVICING!!
When removing the speaker from the box, NEVER pull the speaker out by the front of the speaker as this is likely
to damage or dislodge the grille assembly. With the speaker carton laying down with end cap arrows facing up,
cut the tape around the three sides of the front ap. Open the front aps, and then (with two people) lift and
stand the carton up. Then carefully slide the speaker out of the carton following the Quick Start Guide diagrams;
if you cannot locate the printed QSG, please to go: www.goldenear.com and download.
Please note, if the grille has popped off and is standing away from the cabinet at some point, DO NOT
try to push it back as you can damage the grille. Seek assistance from your dealer for proper removal
and reinstall.
We do not recommend the removal of the grilles except for servicing by authorized personnel.

Reinstalling Foot Cones and Locking Nuts
The Foot cones and locking nuts are pre-installed in the speaker
base, but if disassembled they can be reinstalled as follows.
Two people are required.
1a. First tighten the threaded locking nuts onto each foot cone
(x 4 per speaker, see diagram at right).
1b. With the speaker standing upright, have one person tilt the speaker
to the side on its base by touching only the cabinet. Do not use the
grille to do this. Person two can now screw the assembled feet (with
locking nuts in place) into two of the threaded foot holes in the
bottom of the base. Tilt the speaker in the opposite direction. Install
the two additional assembled feet into the other two threaded
holes in the bottom of the base. Repeat on other speaker.

Instructions to Install Spikes/Rubber Tips
On Speaker Bases
The T66 ships with the foot cones and locking nuts pre-installed into
the speaker bases.
Parts included:
4x Steel Spikes
4x Rubber Tips
1x Hook Spanner
1x Hex Key
Choosing Spikes or Rubber Tips
Using spikes provides much greater stability when placing your T66 loudspeakers on carpeting. But using spikes on
wooden oors, or other oors susceptible to scratching, can cause damage to the oor. Use the rubber tips
instead of spikes to protect these types of surfaces. GoldenEar is specically not responsible for damage which
may result from the use of spikes.
NOTE: If you are using spikes it minimizes the potential for carpet/rug damage to wait to install spikes until after room
placement is optimized and connections to equipment are complete as outlined on pages 7-10 of this user manual.
For safety and installation ease, two people are recommended.
PLEASE READ THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Installing the spikes or rubber tips
1a. With the speaker standing upright, have one person tilt the speaker to the side on its base by touching only the
cabinet. Do not touch the grille to do this.
1b. Person two can now either screw in spikes or attach rubber tips to the bottom of two accessible feet. Tilt the
speaker in the opposite direction and install the two additional rubber tips or spikes on the remaining two feet.
Repeat on other speaker.
2. With the rubber tips or spikes now installed, two people can lift the speaker upright and lower it to the desired
location. If you are using spikes on a carpeted surface, push down on the top of the speaker to force the spikes
through the carpet to make contact with the oor beneath.
3. Once you have positioned the speakers, wiggle them to see if they are stable and level. To achieve the best
level and stability, adjust the height of the feet using the supplied hex key inserted through the foot access holes
in the top of the base, and then tighten the locking nut against the bottom of the base (see diagram).
Reinstalling Foot Cones and Locking Nuts
The Foot cones and locking nuts are pre-installed in the speaker
base, but if disassembled they can be reinstalled as follows.
Two people are required.
1a. First tighten the threaded locking nuts onto each foot cone
(x 4 per speaker, see diagram at right).
1b. With the speaker standing upright, have one person tilt the speaker
to the side on its base by touching only the cabinet. Do not use the
grille to do this. Person two can now screw the assembled feet (with
locking nuts in place) into two of the threaded foot holes in the
bottom of the base. Tilt the speaker in the opposite direction. Install
the two additional assembled feet into the other two threaded
holes in the bottom of the base. Repeat on other speaker.

Preventing Speaker Damage
GoldenEar T66 speakers are efcient and can be driven to loud listening levels with moderate amplier power.
They are also able to handle the output of very powerful ampliers. To prevent damage to your speakers, please
read the following guidelines before hooking them up.
Amplier Distortion — #1 Threat to your New Speakers!
Amplier distortion is the principal cause of speaker damage. When listening at loud levels your amplier may run
out of clean power. It will then begin to produce speaker-damaging distorted power. This will damage any brand
of speaker very quickly! More powerful ampliers are actually safer — For example: A 40 Watt/channel amplier
will have substantial distortion above 40 Watts. If driven to 50 watts, this amplier will deliver speaker-damaging
distorted power! But a 100 Watt/channel amplier will have very low distortion below 100 watts. Therefore, when
the speaker requires 50 Watts, this more powerful amplier will deliver clean power and speaker damage is less
likely to occur. (See your GoldenEar dealer for amplier recommendations.)
Volume Setting
Do not be fooled by the Volume setting of your receiver/preamplier. It only adjusts listening level — it is not a
“power-output” dial. The amount of amplier power actually used at a given Volume setting depends solely on
the nature of the source material you are listening to (at a given Volume setting a quiet section of music will use
less amplier power than a loud section). With typical material, the rated output power of many receivers/
ampliers is often reached when the Volume is set to around -10dB, or between the “11” and “1 o’clock”
settings with an analog control (with bass/ treble and loudness controls not used — otherwise rated power may
be reached at even lower Volume settings). Remember, all ampliers produce distortion when operated beyond
their rated output power. The resulting distortion will damage all speakers! If you listen at loud levels, be careful to
listen for the point of audible distortion — if the speakers begin to sound distressed, turn the Volume down or your
speakers and/or amplier(s) will be damaged! This type of damage constitutes abuse and is not covered by the
warranty. If louder volumes are desired, consider a more powerful amplier.
There is Actually a Limit!
Even with these safer, more powerful ampliers, there is a point at which you could have more power than
the speaker can handle. At that point you will overpower the speaker and damage it. At loud levels do not
increase bass/treble controls from zero and ensure that all loudness/contour/bass EQ buttons are off
(otherwise rated output power will be reached at even lower volume control settings).
The Right Amount of Power
A power-range rating is given in the specications as a guide to indicate the approximate minimum and
maximum power input of your GoldenEar T66 speakers. Ampliers that meet or even exceed the speaker’s
power-range rating are recommended as their greater power reserves provide better sound. But always use
the speakers within their power-range rating to prevent damage — that is, keep listening levels below the point
of obvious audible distortion.

Speaker Placement
GoldenEar T66 speakers are designed to allow exible placement while providing a very large window of
sound throughout your listening room. Please remember that although the following recommendations are
usually valid, all rooms and listening sets-ups are somewhat unique, so do not be afraid to experiment with
the speakers. Remember, whatever sounds best to you is correct.
Room Acoustics
GoldenEar T66 speakers are designed to provide exceptional sound in a wide variety of domestic settings.
It is important to note however that listening room construction, dimensions and furnishings all play a part in
the quality of sound you will ultimately achieve from your new speakers. The listening room will impose its
own character on the performance capabilities of the speaker system. Regarding the room, please note that:
• Mid and high frequencies are affected by the amount of soft furnishings in your room — curtains,
carpets, sofas, wall coverings, etc. An excess of such items can result in a somewhat dull sound.
The same room without any soft furnishings can produce an overall bright sound. The typical quantity
of soft furnishings found in most living environments provides the right acoustic characteristics to allow
the speakers to sound balanced.
• Concrete oors and walls tend to aggravate low-frequency standing wave problems and
are less preferred.
• Rooms where height, width and length are similar should be avoided as they can exhibit signicant
low-frequency standing wave problems. This may result in reduced clarity. If no other room is possible,
experiment with speaker placement to minimize acoustic problems.
The extra care you take in correctly positioning the speakers will result in greater listening enjoyment. So,
keep the following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best speaker placement (see page 8.)
Speaker Break-in
Your new T66 loudspeaker system should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in
period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing time is required to reach full performance capability.
Break-in allows the driver suspensions to work-in and crossover components to “heal,” resulting
in fuller and tighter bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction.
GoldenEar T66 Manual
T66 Tower Manual_ENG_FR_05_25_23_DRAFT.indd 7T66 Tower Manual_ENG_FR_05_25_23_DRAFT.indd 7 6/1/23 6:12 PM6/1/23 6:12 PM

Positioning T66 as Left/Right Fronts
To ensure the best performance possible, observe the following placement
guidelines
Accurate Timbre: For the most accurate and natural timbre, speakers’ high-
frequency drivers should be at approximately ear level.
Balanced Bass: Placing speakers in corners will over-emphasize bass and
reduce overall clarity. If possible, position speakers 8 in (20 cm) or more from
the wall behind the speaker and as much as possible from either side wall.
This will ensure better bass performance and optimal midrange clarity. If you
can’t, don’t worry; just use the subwoofer level control on the back of the
speaker to adjust for optimum sound in your room.
Best Imaging: Measure the distance from the main listening area to the
left front speaker (we’ll call this distance “X”). For optimal imaging and
largest soundstage, place speakers “X” distance apart from each other
and no less than 3/4 of that distance — 3/4 of “X”= from the speakers to the listening position. To further optimize
imaging, turn speakers inward so they point toward the listening position with their axes crossing just behind it.
Positioning T66 as Surrounds
When used as surround speakers, T66 speakers may be located on the side or behind the listeners. When used on
the sides, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners (A). If the speakers are placed along the
rear wall as surrounds, it is suggested that they be positioned fairly wide apart if possible. For instance, if there is a
couch in the center of the rear wall on which the listeners will sit, try to position the speakers wider apart than the
couch (B).

Speaker Connection
T66 speakers have a set of speaker-level 5-way binding posts and, in addition, each speaker has a line-level LFE
(Low-Frequency Effects) input. The LFE input can be used with AV Receivers and Processors to separately feed the
discrete LFE channel (the “.1” signal in a 5.1- or 7.1-channel surround system) into each T66’s subwoofer. Unlike a
conventional system in which the powered subwoofer is driven only by a discrete LFE or subwoofer signal, the T66
speakers’ powered subwoofer is also driven by low frequencies from the speaker-level inputs from left/right chan-
nels. Using the LFE input with this connection method allows independent adjustment of the LFE channel volume
level for movie playback (or any source with a “.1” channel) from an AV receiver/processor.
If the T66 speakers are main left/right speakers, connect the left main/front channel red(+) terminal of the receiver
or amplier to the red(+) terminal of the left loudspeaker and the left main/front channel black(-) terminal of the
receiver or amplier to the black(-) terminal of the left loudspeaker. Connect the right channel main/front channel
red(+) terminal of the amplier or receiver to the red(+) terminal of the right loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal
of the right main/front channel of the receiver or amplier to the black(-) terminal of the right loudspeaker. It is es-
sential that both speakers be connected in the same way (“in phase”) to its own channel of the amplier. If a great
lack of bass is experienced, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase (+ and – reversed) with the other.
If using the T66 speaker as surround speakers, connect the left surround red(+) terminal of the receiver or amplier
to the red(+) terminal of the left surround speaker and the left surround black(-) terminal of the receiver or ampli-
er to the black(-) terminal of the left surround speaker. Connect the right surround red(+) terminal of the amplier
or receiver to the red(+) terminal of the right surround loudspeaker and the black(-) terminal of the right surround
channel of the receiver or amplier to the black(-) terminal of the right surround loudspeaker. Again, it is essential
that both speakers be connected in the same way (“in phase”) to its own channel of the amplier.
Connecting Speaker Cables Only
Illustration 1 shows the simplest setup, which is to connect the T66s
with a pair of Full-Range, equal-length speaker cables. T66s are bi-wire
capable, and ship with special “jumpers” joining the TREBLE or FULL
RANGE and BASS inputs that must remain place in this conguration.
These short jumpers should remain in place even if connecting bare
wire or spades to the speaker-level inputs. But if they fall out contact
your dealer, or simply replace them by running them through the hole
in the center of the binding posts and curling them around the posts
to secure them in place while connecting speaker cables.
If using an AV receiver or processor, simply set the receiver or processor’s
speaker setup menu to indicate “Large” for left and right main speakers and
“No” for subwoofer (note that some receivers/processor setup menus
might use “Full-Band” or “Full-Range” instead of “Large.”). The bass
management system will then send all low frequencies (including the
LFE “.1” channel) into the left and right channels and it will be
reproduced by the subwoofers in your T66s, giving you all the benets
of their two built-in subwoofers. (The speakers have a special circuit
that takes the signal from the speaker level input and converts it to
a low-level signal which then drives the subwoofer power amp.)
Illustration 2 is for connecting two discrete equal-length speaker cables
to each speaker in a bi-wire conguration(follow same bass management instructions as above on your AV receiver or
processor). This requires the removal of the two bi-wire jumpers referenced above. Simply open the positive and nega-
tive speaker-level inputs and remove the jumpers. Please store for future use if needed again.
Whenever possible, this is the preferred connection from your AV receiver or power amplier(s) to your T66. When
bi-wiring, the current modulation of delicate high-frequency audio signals is virtually eliminated from the isolated
midrange/treble cable. This and other audio distortions can be greatly minimized when using a bi-wire speaker
connection with your T66.

Connecting the LFE Input
*Using the LFE Input is always in addition to connecting speaker cables, it is never a replacement for connecting
speaker cables.
With surround sound playback you also have the option to use the line-level LFE input in addition to speaker ca-
bles. Many AV receivers and processors have two LFE outputs, one for each T66. However, for receivers or proces-
sors with only one LFE output, simply use a “Y” connector (available from your dealer) out of the Sub/LFE output
to feed two line-level cables from the Y connector to each T66.
Now set the receiver or processor’s bass management system for “Large” left and right front speakers and also
select “Yes” for subwoofer. This will send only the .1 LFE signal via the line-level cables to the T66’s LFE input.
This conguration allows the AV receiver/processor to set the LFE channel volume level independently for movie
playback (or any source with a “.1” channel). PLEASE NOTE: Some AV receivers/processors have a setting
called “Double Bass”, “Super Bass” or “Bass+.” This option sends both LFE and bass above a specied crossover
frequency to the LFE channel. We recommend avoiding this conguration as it will likely cause the speakers
to sound bloated and bass heavy.

If You are Using a Source Component’s Multi-Channel Analog Outputs
Because of the nature of their bass management systems, when using the multi-channel analog output from a
Blu-Ray, SACD or DVD-Audio player (or any other setup that requires using 6-8 channel analog interconnects),
the particular connection method chosen for your T66 speakers will determine the settings in the player’s speaker
setup menu. If you are using the multi-channel analog outputs from one of these players, access the player’s
setup menu and set all channels using T66 speakers to “Large” and:
• If you used the connection method outlined in the “Connecting Speaker Cables Only” section,
set the player’s speaker setup menu to indicate “No” for subwoofer.
• If you used the connection method outlined in the “Connecting the LFE Input” section, set the player’s
speaker setup menu to indicate “Yes” for subwoofer.
Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Receiver or Amplier
Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls on at (or off, or 0 dB). Same applies for
a graphic equalizer; we recommend that you leave it at (or off). This will give you the most accurate and natural
sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s “Level” control on your T66 speaker, keeping in mind
that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. The reason for this recommendation is
that we have discovered what is often thought to be improper sounding speakers is, in fact, a problem caused
by the use of tone controls. When in doubt, leave them out (at); this almost always results in the best possible
and most natural sounding system performance.
Powering Up the Active Subwoofer Section
Each of your T66 speakers contains a built-in powered subwoofer section as well as an electronic crossover. Each
T66 speaker must be plugged into an electrical socket of the appropriate voltage (as indicated on the back of
your unit) using the plug on the end of the electrical cord which you have attached to the back of the speaker.
The T66 speaker has a special auto on/off circuit which automatically turns the powered subwoofer section on
when a signal is fed to the loudspeaker and therefore does not require an on-off switch.
When the T66 is rst plugged in, the LED will ash for 30 secs while the speaker conducts a self-test, initializing the
software and hardware. After 30 sec, if there is no audio signal, the LED will turn off and the subwoofer will go into
standby mode drawing a low amount of power while waiting for an audio signal. The LED on the back panel will
light up when a signal is sensed and the amplier will turn on. After you stop listening, it may take up to an hour for
the amplier to actually turn off. In some instances, because of RF-Noise present in your area, the LEDs may not
turn off. However, this is nothing to be concerned about as the ampliers draw almost no power when they are
idling. Please note: It is normal to hear a slight pop from the speaker when the amp powers up.
NOTE: To prevent accidental damage to the subwoofers built into your T66 speakers from overdriving the
system, the subwoofers feature an internal overload protection circuit, which will turn the subwoofers off or
down when overdriven or overheated and will then resume normal operation after a few minutes.

Adjusting the Subwoofer Level Control
Your T66 speakers have a Subwoofer Level control which allows you to perfectly tune the output of the
powered low-frequency subwoofer section to match your room, and your own personal taste. We suggest
beginning with the level control set at the 12 o’clock position. Please note there is no adjustment of the crossover
points or phase because these have already been designed and engineered into the speaker for the best
possible overall system response — a major performance benet of having the “built-in” subwoofer.
VERY IMPORTANT: Setting Channel Levels and Bass Management Systems
Multi-channel surround sound systems have a critical channel balancing procedure for setting the level for all
speakers which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. Many problems relating to the overall sound
of the system can be clearly traced back to improper system balance. Also note that multi-channel surround
sound systems have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which
vary from unit to unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. Many problems relating to
the overall sound of the system can be traced back to improper bass management.
Bass Management Settings:
On your receiver or A/V processor’s Speaker Setup Menu, set Left and Right main speakers to “Large” and
set Subwoofer to “Yes” or “No” depending on whether you are using the additional LFE input (as discussed
in Speaker Connection section). If you are using the T66 speakers for surround speakers, set the surround
channels of your receiver/processor’s bass management system to “Large” also.
Setting Channel Levels
On your AV receiver or processor’s Speaker Level Calibration Menu, set each speaker (channel) in the system
to the same volume level. While you can get reasonable results doing this by ear, it is best to use an inexpensive
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to get better channel-to-channel balance. Some new receivers and processors
have Auto Set Up functions that use a supplied microphone to set levels automatically.
Adjusting Low-Frequency Balance When Using LFE Input
When using the LFE input we suggest adjusting the Subwoofer Level on the T66s to sound balanced when
listening to music, and using the LFE or subwoofer level control in the AV receiver/processor to raise or lower the
bass/LFE level for movie/surround sound effects as desired. Normally the Subwoofer Level of the left speaker will
be set the same as the right speaker. However, these Levels can also be set differently on the two speakers to
vary the response of left and right speakers separately to compensate for variations such as asymmetrical
positioning of the speakers in your room (i.e., when one speaker is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if this is
how they best t in your room. This is a unique and useful feature of the T66 design which allows much greater
exibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as additional ability to optimize what could otherwise be a difcult
placement situation.

Complete Home Theater Systems
We strongly suggest using a matching GoldenEar center channel and rear/surround speakers to complete your
GoldenEar home theater system. T66 speakers can be used as rear or side surround speakers, with exceptional
results for both music and movies.
Using Your T66 Speaker with an Additional Subwoofer
Although the T66’s built-in subwoofers deliver superb low frequency response and are all that are required
for amazing performance, bass is sort of like horsepower and some listeners (and some very large rooms) may
demand even more output and want to add additional powered subwoofers to the system. For those who
choose to do so, we strongly suggest one or more GoldenEar SuperSub™ subwoofers in order to achieve perfect
matching with the T66s and the highest level of performance and quality possible. This should be connected with
an additional RCA line-level cable connected to the LFE output of the AV receiver or processor. (An AV
receiver or processor’s bass management system may have multiple setup options for integrating the subwoofer
— consult the AV receiver/processor’s manual and your GoldenEar dealer to select the best setup option.)
A typical setup would have only the additional outboard sub(s) connected to the LFE output of the AV receiver/
processor, still setting as Left and Right Main as “Large” and Sub as “Yes,” thus directing the LFE bass only to the
outboard sub(s). Another interesting option is to run the AV receiver’s/processor’s LFE-out into both the T66
Towers as well as your additional subwoofer(s), splitting the LFE-out(s) as necessary to achieve three (or more)
sources of low-frequency energy in the room. This provides, in effect, 3 (or more) LFE subwoofers, which can be
quite impactful, as well as providing smoother bass response throughout the listening room. To get the LFE level
balanced properly between the additional subwoofer(s) and the T66s, the key is to take full advantage of the
additional subwoofer’s capabilities while keeping the LFE energy sent to the T66s appropriate. Normally, the
additional subwoofer(s) will play louder than the T66s on an LFE signal, using the additional sub’s level control(s)
to achieve this.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any difculties with your T66 speakers, try the suggestions described below. If you are still
having problems, please consult your GoldenEar Authorized Dealer for assistance.
1. Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place.
2. Should you experience any level of ground hum or noise, try plugging the power cord into the same
circuit as your amplier.
3. The system is provided with sophisticated internal protection circuitry. If for some reason the protection
circuitry is tripped, please turn down your system’s volume and wait ve minutes before trying the
system again. If the amplier should overheat, the system will turn off until the amplier cools down
and resets.
4. Check to be sure that your power cord has not been damaged.
5. Check that no foreign objects or liquid has entered the speaker.
6. If you cannot get the powered subwoofer to turn on or if no sound comes out and you are sure the
system is set up properly, please bring the loudspeaker to your GoldenEar Authorized Dealer for
assistance. Please make sure you call rst.
