Frequently Asked Questions - GTV-CR-3SP Gefen

What is the difference between GTV-CR-2SP, GTV-CR-3SP, and GTV-CR-5SP?

The numbers indicate how many speakers are included in the set: the GTV-CR-2SP includes 2 speakers, the GTV-CR-3SP includes 3 speakers, and the GTV-CR-5SP includes 5 speakers. Each individual speaker has the same specifications.

Can I mount these speakers on the wall?

Yes, the speakers are designed for wall mounting. They come with a built-in mounting bracket that works with the optional Gefen GTV-MB-CRSP bracket. Ensure the wall bracket can support at least 6.4 lbs (2.9 kg) per speaker.

What type of amplifier should I use with these speakers?

Any standard audio amplifier with speaker outputs is suitable. They work particularly well with the Gefen TV Audio Processor. The speakers have a 4 Ohm impedance and 50W RMS max power handling, so choose an amplifier that can drive 4 Ohm speakers safely.

How do I connect the speakers to my amplifier?

The speakers have 5-way binding posts. You can use bare wire, spade lugs, pin connectors, or banana plugs (single or dual). For bare wire, unscrew the post, insert the wire, and tighten. For banana plugs, simply insert into the end of the post.

What is the recommended crossover setting when using a subwoofer?

If using a subwoofer, set your receiver/amplifier’s speaker setting to 'small' and set the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. This will direct bass frequencies below 80 Hz to the subwoofer for better overall sound.

What are the dimensions of a single speaker?

Each speaker measures 256 mm (10 inches) in height, 145 mm (5.7 inches) in width, and 184 mm (7.2 inches) in depth.

Is the speaker grille removable?

Yes, the front grille is removable. It protects the drivers and provides a stylish appearance, but can be taken off if preferred.

What is the warranty period for these speakers?

Gefen warrants the speakers to be free from defects in material and workmanship for two (2) years from the date of shipment. Proof of sale may be required.

Can I use these speakers outdoors?

No, these speakers are designed for indoor use only. They are not weatherproof and should not be exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.

How should I clean the speakers?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any solvents, chemicals, or water, as they may damage the finish or the drivers.
