  • Page 3 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® A Message from Genesis Congratulations! And Thank You! You are now the owner of one of the finest loudspeakers in the world! The Genesis 2.2 junior (or G2jr) is the result of technologies developed and refined over the past 40 years in constant production.

Remember, send in your registration card to extend the limited warranty on your loudspeakers. Bought from: ____________________________ ____________________________ Date: ___________________________________...
  • Page 5 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® Set-up Guide Now that you have your new Genesis 2 junior loudspeaker, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start the music! However, we want you to set it up correctly to derive the greatest enjoyment from your purchase.

As the speaker tilts up and out of the crate, and it is extremely heavy, we suggest that you position the crate approximately at the final position where you want the loudspeaker to be.

  • Page 7: Loudspeaker Controls

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® Loudspeaker Controls You will notice four control knobs on the back of the G2jr. These are labelled “ ”, “ ”, “ ” and “ ”.
  • Page 8 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier Protection The servo-bass amplifier has numerous protection circuits built in to protect both the amplifier and the woofers. If you over-drive the amplifier, it will self-protect and you will hear clicking or snapping sounds.

  • Page 9: Tuning The System

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® Tuning the system Music is the best way to begin to fine-tune your setup. We suggest that video sources be used only after you have setup the system to properly reproduce music.
  • Page 10 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® advantages is that the sound pressure level does not fall as fast with respect to distance as it does for a point source. Because a line source radiates sound in a cylinder and a point source radiates sound in a cone, with a doubling of distance from the loudspeaker, a line source attenuates by 3dB whereas a point source attenuates by 6dB.

  • Page 11: Imaging And Soundstage

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® The low-pass control will raise or lower the frequency cutoff point of the woofer (not the crossover frequency between the bass and midrange). Turning the low pass filter up to a higher number will extend the upper bass regions into the midrange without affecting the low bass level.

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® where the speakers are, but less dense between the center and the speaker. When properly set up very little sound should appear to come directly from the speaker, instead, the sound stage should extend far beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they should have tremendous front to back depth.

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® find an asymmetric placement in-room more accurate and pleasing. Defining the Soundstage A common problem we find with many set-ups is a tendency to separate the speakers too far from each other.

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® important. Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live front wall. By these terms we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A typical wall of glass or, brick, cement or drywall material is a reflective surface.
  • Page 17 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® you listen to has a similarity of sound (too much or too little of a certain frequency for instance) then you can be fairly certain that you have yet to perfect your set-up.

  • Page 18: Design Philosophy

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® The Technology The Genesis 2.2 junior loudspeaker integrates a line-source midrange/tweeter with point-source bass. Each speaker is over 6 feet tall, and the cabinet structured is designed to manage vibrations and resonance.
  • Page 19 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® A second great advantage of the line source is that the vertical spectral content of music is virtually the same throughout the length of the line source. Hence, the seating height does not matter with this speaker;...
  • Page 20 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® confuse your hearing, the program source emerges more clearly. Imaging is deeper, yet more focused. This results in a loudspeaker system that is virtually room- independent.

  • Page 21: The Servo-Bass Advantage

    a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® This result in a perfect line-source ribbon generating a continuous and perfectly coupled wave front. The benefit of this to the listener is a wide and even horizontal dispersion yielding a large and highly stable sweet spot.
  • Page 22 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® Thus, the servo-drive reduces distortion and improves transient response by making the woofer appear to be massless. Typical non-servo woofer systems have distortion levels that exceed 10% at even moderate levels.
  • Page 23 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® The isolation, plus vibration-cancellation results in a stable, solid image even when there is heavy bass content in the music. Servo-controlled Bass Amplifier One problem, however, of metal cones, is that of greater mass – even ones as light as the ones used by Genesis.
  • Page 24 a bs o l u t e f i d e l i t y ® The skeletal frame acts as a tuned absorber. Made of an inch of solid acrylic, no two parts of the frame will resonate at the same frequencies.
