Page 3: Set-Up And Safety Information
Avoid bathrooms, washbowls, kitchen sinks, swimming pools, etc. The Genesis Reference Amplifier is designed with a HMWA “acoustic suspension foot” to allow the amplifier to be placed directly on the floor, or on any piece of furniture or equipment rack. -
Page 4: Safety Information
Before turning the amplifier on, both inputs and outputs should be properly connected. Do not run the amplifier without appropriate loudspeakers connected to it. While the Genesis Reference Amplifier runs very cool due to its high efficiency, some ventilation and airflow is necessary for reliable operation. -

XLR input of pin 2 “hot” or +ve. Pin 1 is signal ground, and pin 3 is the signal -ve. The Genesis Reference Amplifier preserves phase, hence if the input XLR pin 2 is positive, the speaker output red binding post will be positive. -
Page 6: Playing Music
We believe that it is preferable to turning on an inefficient amplifier for an hour to warm up before listening. An equivalent amplifier might consume 3,000W of power just at idle. Leaving the Genesis Reference Amplifier on for 10 days consumes about the same amount of electricity. Leaving the unit on stand-by also extends the life of the electronics. -

Resulting in a dark, brooding, muscle-bound sound. The Genesis DPDS, on the other hand, is designed to deliver current into a non-linear, dynamic, rapidly changing musical load, leading to a sense of... - Page 8 The result is that the Genesis Reference Amplifier has the dynamics, extension and drive of high-power transistor amplifiers without the muscle-bound sound, and the elegance, emotion and tonal colors of flea- powered single-ended triode vacuum tube amplifiers without being weak or flaccid.

Every component on the design was individually chosen, as was the grounding paths. Genesis would like to credit Engr. Nigel Pearson for the idea behind the design of the SRVS. Genesis Reference Amplifier 30... -
Page 10: Resonance And Vibration Control
Acoustic Suspension System A dedicated suspension system completes the resonance and vibration control design of the Genesis Reference Amplifier. It also facilitates the easy placement and location of the amplifier. Designed like the suspension system of a race car, the acoustic suspension is made of a solid acrylic suspension frame, neoprene shock absorbers, and steel spikes. - Page 11 High-power, high current relays to switch power instead of typical rocker or toggle switches result in minimal degradation of the power supply path.
