General description
F Two Active Subwoofer
The Genelec F Two is a very compact
active subwoofer designed to complement
up to ve Genelec G One or G Two active
loudspeakers or a pair of the slightly bigger
G Threes. Linked together two F Two’s
can also be used with G Fours. The F Two
extends the system’s bass response down
to 27 Hz and integrates perfectly with the
main loudspeakers in any environment. The
playback level for the whole system is con-
veniently controlled by the wireless volume
control provided with the subwoofer. A
wired volume control is available as an
option.
The F Two has an integrated bass man-
agement for the ve main channels which
directs the frequencies below 85 Hz to the
subwoofer and higher frequencies through
the output connectors to the main loud-
speakers.
Installation
Before connecting the audio signals, ensure
that all equipment is switched o.
Pull out the battery insulating strip from
the underside of the remote control as
shown in gure 1. This strip insulates the
battery from the contacts on the remote
control during shipping and the remote
control does not function before it is
removed.
The subwoofer is equipped with six RCA
signal inputs (L, R, C, LS, RS and LFE/LINK
IN) and two balanced XLR inputs (LEFT,
RIGHT). These allow connecting the F Two
to a variety of line level audio sources with
either unbalanced RCA or balanced XLR
type audio connectors. Suitable sources are
preampliers, computer sound cards, port-
able audio players, “PRE OUT” connectors
on a Home Theater receiver, etc.
The output section of the subwoofer con-
tains corresponding L, R, C, LS and RS RCA
connectors for the main loudspeakers, a
LINK OUT RCA connector for linking multiple
subwoofers together and two balanced male
XLR connectors (LEFT, RIGHT).
The L and R RCA inputs and outputs are
working in parallel with LEFT and RIGHT
XLR inputs and outputs.
As the F Two contains its own amplier, no
separate power amplifier is needed. Never
connect the F Two to the loudspeaker outputs
of a power amplier, integrated amplier or
receiver.
Connecting a stereo system
Connect the audio signal cables from your
source to the corresponding input connec-
tors. The F Two oers both balanced and
unbalanced signal routes. For stereo signals,
use either the LEFT and RIGHT XLR inputs
or the L and R RCA inputs. Next, connect the
subwoofer to the main loudspeakers with
RCA or XLR cables from the corresponding
output (OUT) connectors on the subwoofer
to the signal inputs of the main loudspeak-
ers.
You can also connect an unbalanced
source to the RCA L and R inputs and use
the
parallel LEFT and RIGHT XLR output
connectors as outputs. This provides bal-
anced signal from the subwoofer onwards,
and facilitates easy connection to main
loudspeakers with XLR inputs, such as the
G Three or G Four.
Connecting a
surround system
The F Two has an integrated crossover net-
work for the ve main channels which directs
the frequencies below 85 Hz to the subwoofer
and higher frequencies through the output
connectors to the main loudspeakers. When
using a surround sound processor, select a
loudspeaker setting “Large” for the channels
routed through the subwoofer.
Connect the ve main channel signal RCA
cables from the signal source to the RCA
input connectors L, R, C, LS and RS.
The LFE channel of the preamplier or
processor can be connected to the LFE IN/
LINK IN connector. The LFE channel on the
F Two can reproduce signals up to 120 Hz.
Next connect the main loudspeakers to
the corresponding L, R, C, LS and RS signal
outputs on the subwoofer with RCA cables.
Once all connections have been made,
the subwoofer and main loudspeakers are
ready to be powered up.
Positioning in the room
The placement of the subwoofer in the room
aects the overall frequency response and
sound level of the system dramatically, as at
low frequencies the eects of the room are
