Unpacking
Ensure there is plenty of clean oor area around where you are proposing to unpack the loudspeakers.
Remove any lose components from the packaging (feet, bolts, plinths, grilles etc) and invert the carton. Lift
the carton up and remove the packaging end cap. Remove the tape from the bag(s)revealing the bottom of
the cabinet(s).
With the Gold 50 and Gold 100, stand the cabinets upright and remove the remaining packaging end cap and
bag(s). Place the cabinets on the stands and position them according to instructions on page 5.
With the Gold 200 and Gold 300, t the plinths and feet before proceeding any further.
Plinth Fixing
(Gold 200 & 300 only)
Fit the plinths and spiked feet to the base of each speaker. Refer to page 4.
The plinths are provided for stability as well as improving the acoustic performance of the speakers. Due
to the tapered shape of the cabinets, it is not recommended to install them without the plinths tted as the
speakers are likely to be unstable.

Spikes and Feet
For Wooden/Hard Floors
(Gold 200 & 300 only)
The foot comes pre-assembled for use on hard/solid oors or where spikes are
inappropriate. All that is required is xing them into the plinths. This is achieved
by screwing the feet fully into the 2 threaded holes in each half of the plinth.
With great care turn the cabinet the right way up. Place the cabinet in the desired
location, checking that it is level on all sides. If slightly o-level, unscrew the
foot at the lowest point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is
fully level. Use the locking nuts (illustrated on page 3) on each foot to x the feet
in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
For Carpeted Floors
(Gold 200 & 300 only)
If being installed on carpeted oors, remove the spike from the packaging and x
it into the foot assembly, as illustrated.
Please ensure there are no hidden wires under the carpet that could be damaged
by the spikes.
With great care turn the cabinet the right way up. Place the cabinet in the desired
location, checking that it is level on all sides. If slightly o-level, unscrew the
foot at the lowest point and check again. Continue this process until the cabinet is
fully level. Use the locking nuts (illustrated on page 3) on each foot to x the feet
in place and to stop any unwanted vibrations.
Grilles
The grilles are held invisibly in place by magnets in the cabinet itself (except Gold FX).
When tting, rstly ensure they are the correct orientation (badge at the bottom) and oer them up to the
cabinet. The magnets should them pull them into position, but it may need some ne adjustment to ensure
they are square on the cabinet.
The Gold FX comes with the grilles factory tted. When removing them, carefully prise them away from the
cabinet with the tips of your ngers. There are three separate grilles tted to each Gold FX cabinet.
CAUTION: Always remove the grilles before attempting to move or lift the loudspeakers.
Gold Series4

Setting Up
2 Channel Positioning
When arranging a 2 channel system, the listening position and the loudspeakers should form an equilateral
triangle. The speakers should be positioned approximately 6 - 10 feet (1.8 - 3m) apart. The ideal distance
from the rear wall varies depending on the speaker (see list below), however, they need to be a minimum of
3 feet (91cm) from the side walls.
• Gold 50 and Gold 100 8 - 18 inches (20 - 45cm)
• Gold 200 18 - 24 inches (45 - 60cm)
• Gold 300 upto 36 inches (91cm)
Experimentation is strongly advised when initially setting up the speakers, as environment and personal
preference dier with every installation. If there is insucient bass for example, try moving your speakers
closer to a wall. The opposite approach is recommended if there is excess bass. Also see the information
on page 11 refering to Port Bungs. If stereo imaging is being lost, try ‘toeing’ them in slightly. The sound
should appear to originate from the centre point between the speakers, not the actual speakers themselves.
AV Positioning
On pages 7 and 8, there are illustrations showing optimal positioning and some example room layouts for
AV applications.
The front, and in some cases rear, oor standing and stand mount speakers should be positioned approx 6 - 9
feet apart (1.8m - 2.5m) and start with them about 10 inches (25cm) from the wall.
If the sound is too bass heavy or there is bass boom from the room when playing music (without a subwoofer),
try moving the loudspeakers slightly further away from the wall(s) or adjusting the crossover frequency
settings for the speakers and/ or sub. Also try changing the subwoofer’s position. If this is not possible, then
try the supplied port bungs (not included in the Gold FX or Centre). Refer to Page 11.
The Gold Centre channel should be positioned so they are pointing at the viewing position and at approximate
ear height. If it is below or above ear height, use some rubber feet (small feet supplied) to angle it slightly.
The Gold FX’s should be positioned in accordance with the below illustrations and instructions, and approx 2
feet (60cm) to the bottom of the speaker above ear height when in your listening position.
NOTE: When using 2 pairs of Gold FX in a 7.1 system, set the rear surround left speaker to ‘Right’
and the rear surround right to ‘Left’. This is required due to tweeter phasing. All four speakers need
to be set to di-pole mode.
ENGLISH
monitoraudio.com 5

Setting up the Gold FX
The Gold FX’s are independent speakers that can be tailored to be either left or right handed at the ick of
a switch. Likewise, they can be operated in either di-pole or mono-pole modes. The default factory setting
is mono-pole.
In mono-pole mode, only the main driver and tweeter will be active. In di-pole mode, the main tweeter is
disengaged and the side drivers and tweeters are active. The front ring tweeters are out of phase with the
other tweeter and mid/bass unit. It is recommended to implement this conguration when using two pairs
Gold FX as part of a 7.1 channel system, with the Gold FX’s taking up positions on side and rear walls. Please
note, it is essential they are positioned correctly when used in a 7.1 channel system. Please refer to the
switch positioning images on pages 7 and 8.
NOTE: Before adjusting any switches, please ensure that the amplier is at the very least
turned o. This will help to protect the amplier.
Tweeter Attenuation Switch: This switch adjusts the level of the main high
frequency tweeter unit. In the middle position, there is no attenuation. Placed
in the ‘-’ position, the high frequencies will be attenuated by 3dB.Placed in the
‘+’ position, the high frequencies will be boosted by 3dB.
Location Switch:This switch is used when determining the location of the Gold
FX’s. Please refer to the illustrations on pages 7 & 8 for correct positioning.
This will only make a dierence when in ‘di-pole’ mode.
Mono-pole/ Di-pole Switch: This switch determines the actual mode of
the Gold FX. When part of 5.1 systems as a rear speaker, set the switch to
mono-pole. Although there is nothing wrong with experimenting and trying
the switch in the di-pole mode. If part of a 7.1 system as side speakers, set the
switch to di-pole. If using 4 Gold FX’s (side and rear) set them all to di-pole
mode. Please see the illustrations on pages 7 & 8 to determine the setting of
the ‘Location Switch’ depending on system set up.
If you are using the 12v trigger, set the switch to monopole mode. The trigger
will switch a relay to enable the di-pole mode.
12 volt Trigger: (Not shown) This feature is present on some AV ampliers. It
is possible to customise the 12v trigger to switch the speakers to di-pole for
certain sources. For example, multi-channel music should be listened to in
mono-pole mode, however, movies should be listened to in di-pole mode. This
feature automates the switching between the two modes. Please refer to your
AV amplier manual for further instruction.

Fixing the Gold FX to a wall
CAUTION: Always determine where the Gold FX will be xed and the structure of the wall. For
safety reasons, if unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe xing, do not attempt to x
these speakers to a wall. Instead, please obtain the services of a competent and qualied trades
person.
CAUTION: Ensure that water pipes or electricity cables do not run behind where the wall plate is
going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.
NOTE: We do not supply wall xing screws and plugs with the Gold FX. Please only use suitable
xings for the type of wall construction the Gold FX’s will be xed to.
To x the Gold FX’s to a wall, we would recommend using the wall xing template provided within the
packaging carton. Fix the wall plate to the wall, connect the speaker cables, and 12v trigger cables (if being
used) and hang the cabinet on the wall plate.

Connecting Speaker Cables
Bare Wire Connection
Unscrew the binding posts and pass the bare wire through the through-hole. Tighten the binding post to
clamp the wire in place.
Banana Plugs
Remove the red and black plastic plugs from the terminals and insert the banana plugs into the standard
4mm holes that are revealed. Pliers may be required to gain purchase on the plugs.
Wiring
Single Wiring
Single wiring is acheived via a single set of cables to the terminals on the back of the loudspeaker. Internally
the loudspeaker crossover guides the frequencies to the appropriate driver/tweeter. Low frequencies to the
bass drivers, mid frequencies to the mid/bass drivers and high frequencies to the tweeter.
It is perfectly acceptable to connect to the top, bottom terminals or even diagonally (experimentation is
advisable to achieve the preferred results).
NOTE: When using this method you must KEEP the terminal links in place.

ENGLISH

Bi-Wiring
Bi-wiring is accomplished by connecting separate pairs of speaker cables to the terminals on the loudspeaker
from a single pair of connections on the amplier. In the case of the Gold Series, the bottom terminals
connect to the bass driver(s) and the top terminals connect to the tweeter in 2 way loudspeakers, or the mid
and tweeter in 2.5 and 3 way loudspeakers.
NOTE: When using this method the terminal links MUST be removed.
Bi-Amping
Bi-Amping is the same as Bi-Wiring except you are introducing a second amplier into the equation.
In order to Bi-Amp you must connect a set of speaker cables to the top terminals on the loudspeaker from
one amplier and another set of speaker cables to the bottom terminals from the second amplier.
NOTE: When wiring this method the terminal links MUST be removed.
TheEectsofBi-Wiring/Bi-Amping
Fundamentally a loudspeaker crossover varies the impedance seen by the speaker and by the power
amplier. The situation is such that when the full range musical signal is applied to the terminals of a full-
range speaker system,the bass driver(s) only receives low frequency signals, the mid driver receives the mid
band frequency signals and the tweeter only gets sent high frequency signals. This means that if separate
speaker cables are connected to the low frequency terminals, and the high frequency terminals, not only
have the drive units and the frequency’s directed and divided for them, but the two separate speaker cables
will now also carry dierent signals, the bass cable mostly the lows, and the tweeter cable mostly the highs.
Once the high and low frequencies have been separated in this fashion, the strong current pulses and surges
demanded by bass drivers when reproducing bass or drums, will not interact with the delicate sounds of a
ute or cymbal.

Gold Series10

In a single wired system, unwanted mechanical and electrical resonances manifest as distortion at both
sets of speaker terminals. Due to the impedance of the speaker cables, these distortions will not be entirely
cancelled by the amplier. Instead, they modulate between the two crossovers, and degrade sound quality.
When bi-wiring, this interaction is minimised as signal distortion is ‘seen’ at the amplier’s output where it
can be more eectively cancelled. Bi-wiring/ bi-amping therefore presents a ‘cleaner’ signal at both the low
frequency and high frequency speaker terminals, and because the high and low frequencies have already
been separated, each has a minimal eect on the other - in essence the bass does not overpower delicate
treble.
In terms of the audible benet, bi-wiring/ bi-amping, provides more clarity and detail to the midrange and
high frequencies. Often the bass will become faster and tighter. Focus and staging will improve as well. In
all, this is a very eective and desirable improvement and is highly recommended by Monitor Audio.
Port bungs
WARNING: Care must be taken not to insert the port bungs too far into the port, as this may result
in the foam bung being lost inside the cabinet.
If the loudspeaker is to be installed in a small room, typically 9 sqM (80 sqFT), or a room known to reproduce
accentuated bass response, it may be desirable to t port bungs. However, experimentation is recommended
with positioning of the loudspeaker in the room prior to tting. To optimise performance from the loudspeaker
it is important to ensure the loudspeaker is not positioned too close to a wall or near the corners of a room
(refer to the suggestions on page 5).
If the positioning of the loudspeaker is predetermined by room aesthetics or layout, or you nd you have
accentuated bass, please move on and read point 1 for the Gold 50/ Gold 100 and point 2 for the Gold 200/
Gold 300.
1. Where stand-mount speakers (Gold 50 & Gold 100) are to be sited in close proximity (less than 8
inches/ 20cm) to a rear wall (such as on a bookshelf, positioned in a cabinet or on a stand close to
a wall), we recommend tting port bungs to the ports. This will reduce the bass ‘boom’ sometimes
termed as overhang, and assist the loudspeakers to reproduce their best performance under these
environmental conditions. ‘Boom’ is generally caused when bass energy from the loudspeaker ‘excites’
room modes and causes an accentuation at a particular frequency, or number of frequencies.
2. Where oor-standing loudspeakers (Gold 200 & Gold 300) are to be sited in close proximity (closer than
18 inches/ 45cm) to a rear wall, we recommend tting the port bungs. This will reduce the bass ‘boom’
sometimes termed as overhang and assist the loudspeakers to reproduce their best performance under
these environmental conditions. This is caused when bass energy from the loudspeaker ‘excites’ room
modes and causes an accentuation at a particular frequency, or number of frequencies.
When tting port bungs the overall bass extension will not be reduced, however bass energy/ output
around the port tuning frequency will be reduced. This has the eect of reducing bass ‘boom’ while
increasing bass clarity and apparent agility.
In all circumstances experimentation is highly recommended.

en page19.
Pour les modèles Gold 200 et Gold 300, installez les socles et les pieds avant de continuer.
Fixation du socle
(Gold 200 & 300 uniquement)
Installez les socles et les pieds à pointe à la base de chaque haut-parleur. Voir page18.
Les socles permettent de stabiliser et d’améliorer les performances acoustiques des haut-parleurs. En
raison de la forme conique des caissons, il n’est pas conseillé de les installer sans les socles. Cela pourrait
déséquilibrer les haut-parleurs.

Grilles
Les grilles sont maintenues en place par des aimants situés sur le cabinet (sauf sur le Gold FX).
Pour les installer, vériez d’abord leur orientation (l’insigne en bas) et posez-les sur le cabinet. Les aimants
les mettront naturellement en place, mais il peut être nécessaire d’eectuer quelques réglages pour
s’assurer du bon positionnement sur le cabinet.
Les grilles du Gold FX sont préalablement installées. Lorsque vous les enlevez, retirez-les délicatement du
cabinet avec le bout de vos doigts. Trois grilles diérentes sont installées sur chaque cabinet Gold FX.
ATTENTION: retirez toujours les grilles avant de déplacer ou soulever les haut-parleurs.
