    All this results in a very heavy object for its size. We always recommend a minimum of two people to unpack, move around, and set up the Genesis 7.2f. Your speakers will come wrapped in a fabric “sock” inside a double- corrugated cardboard carton.

It can be used as a pair of audiophile stereo loudspeakers or, in a multi-channel system.

     1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide Now that you have your new Genesis 7f loudspeaker, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, please read this quick set-up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you) before you proceed.

    absolute fidelity  You will want to sit eight to twelve feet (2.5 to 3.5 metres) away from the speakers. When sitting further away, you should place the speakers slightly further apart. When sitting nearer the speakers, move the speakers closer together or toe them in by a tiny bit – 1 to 3 degrees and no more.
  • Page 7 absolute fidelity  If you play a lot of commercially mixed pop or rock recordings, you may also find that a lot of these have a rising response in the bass because they are not expected to be played on audiophile loudspeakers with a flat frequency response.

    absolute fidelity  2 Setting up as Stereo Pair 2.1 Positioning Used as a stereo pair, the G7f should be placed at least 18 inches (0.45m) into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers), to the back of the speaker.

    8-inch woofer needs in order to give a snappy and dynamic response. We do this in order to give the speaker the speed and dynamics that is the hallmark of the “Genesis sound”. Just like a sports car with 800 horsepower, if indiscriminately used, having so much power also means that you could do damage to yourself and your neighbors.

  • Page 11 absolute fidelity  Conversely, if the image is too small, move the speakers apart. The speakers should be no more than twelve feet apart. Repeat this process until you have it right. The wider apart you have the speakers, relative to your seating position, the more you will have to toe the speakers in.

    A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should provide a soundstage that is wall-to-wall, with pinpoint focus; the speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.

    absolute fidelity  By these terms, we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A typical wall of glass, brick, cement or drywall material is a reflective surface. A heavily curtained or sound-proofed wall would be considered a "dead wall" or a non-reflective wall. A normal thin curtain across a window causes only a small amount of absorption.

    3.3 The Center Channel The Genesis 7.2c (convertible) plus either the ServoSub™ 4/8 would be the perfect partnering center channel to the G7f as the center channel will then have the same driver complement and the same “voice”.

  • Page 16: The Technology Used

    What a lot of people don’t realize is that the room is as big (if not bigger), a part of their music system as are the loudspeakers. At Genesis, we strive to get the loudspeakers and the room to work well together and hence, design loudspeakers that interact with the room and have enough of adjustment to make them work with most rooms in the world.
  • Page 17 Typical non- servo woofer systems have distortion levels that exceed 10% at even moderate levels. The Genesis servo bass system reduces this distortion to below one percent at almost any output level within its operating range.

    0.0005 inch thick. The entire radiating structure is a 3mm-wide ring that has less mass than the air in front of it! The latest version of the Genesis ring-ribbon tweeter will accurately reproduce frequencies beyond 40 kHz with a true point-source dispersion pattern.

    Hence, indiscriminately damping music as well as cone ringing and distortion. Without damping, Genesis loudspeakers are able to play softly, and yet convey all the richness of the music, without losing any detail when you want to listen quietly in the dead of the night when the rest of the family are asleep.

  • Page 20: Crossover

    Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of knowledge and experience. The inductors are custom designed and made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil.

    absolute fidelity  vibrations do not affect the imaging and soundstage of the loudspeaker. The spikes rigidly couple the suspension system to the floor. If you have hardwood floors and do not want to make holes in the wood, use a copper penny (instead of expensive “spike cups”) under the spike.

One side benefit of this powered woofer system is that almost any sized amplifier can be used to drive the G7f.

  • Page 28 Step 1 again. With some non-Genesis loudspeakers, it may not be possible to achieve this depth relationship of bass and high-frequency instruments. This is due to the bass being out of phase with the mids and highs.

  • Page 31 Move the subwoofer forwards and backwards in 5mm (1/5 inch) increments until the cymbals and high-hat sounds right. This track can be used to fine-tune positioning of the full-range Genesis loudspeakers in the room if necessary. There is considerable effort in doing this, as any change made here will completely obliterate the image, soundstage, and tonality.
  • Page 32 With Genesis loudspeakers that have an amplified bass section (often with up to 500W of power), such music can often cause the woofers to bottom out and distort. This is one such track.
