READ THIS FIRST

Genesis loudspeakers in general are heavy and slippery. This is
due to the fine veneer, and high gloss finishes that we put on the
speakers to make them beautiful and an object of art. They have a
luxurious feel as well as an elegant look.
The cabinet is solidly made of high-quality mdf and/or composite
material. Transducers have large magnetic assemblies and the
crossovers use large, high grade components. All this results in a
very heavy object for its size.
Due to the weight, and also to the waxy finish, the loudspeaker may
be slippery and difficult to handle. We always recommend a
minimum of two people to unpack, move them around, and set
them up.
Your speakers will come wrapped in a100% cotton "sock" inside a
double-corrugated cardboard carton. Examine the carton for
shipping damage. Dented corners are an indication of something
having gone wrong during shipping.
Enlist a friend to help you unpack and set-up the loudspeaker. Not
only is it safer, it is more fun than doing it yourself.
Lift the speaker in its sock out of the shipping carton. Do NOT just
grab the sock to lift the loudspeaker. The sock may tear! Be careful
that you do not inadvertently put a finger through a driver.
Collapse the shipping carton, and store it in a safe, dry place
together with the sock and the foam inserts. You will need this if
you sell the speakers in the future, or need to ship the speakers.
Read this owner's manual, and then get started.

     The high-level thru-put binding posts are for connecting to a subwoofer. We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 as the perfect complement to this speaker. The correct cable for connecting a loudspeaker to a ServoSub is an interconnect cable, and not a loudspeaker cable.

Make each of these changes separately and note the difference - by listening with each adjustment - then make the next change. 2.5 Imaging and Soundstage We suggest that you start with a single vocal with simple instrumental accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily recognizable than many instruments and is a less complex sound to deal with.
  • Page 9 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.

    How the front wall (the wall you face while listening), is treated or not treated is important. Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live (hard reflective) front wall to a dead (soft absorbent) front wall.

  • Page 13: 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.

    G7.1p to sound lifelike and effortless. The stiffness of the titanium cone also allows Genesis to use this as a woofer – hence, mid-woofer. It retains its low distortion, even on long throw application needed in delivering the lower frequencies.
  • Page 15 It would actually have been cheaper and easier to make the cabinet of solid wood, but that would have been a compromise. Genesis designed a unique tongue and groove joint in order to improve the structural rigidity and vibration behaviour of the cabinet.
