Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the
woofer for proper mid-bass rather than low bass. The theory is that
if the mid-bass is correct, then the low bass should be very close to
correct. If the mid-bass is proper and the low bass is still not right,
here are some other suggestions.
A good balance between proper low bass extension and a deep and
spacious soundstage needs to be established to optimize your new
speaker's performance.
In order to achieve what the speaker is capable of we suggest you
focus your efforts on a proper balance
of soundstage elements that
includes information beyond the left and
right sides of the speakers,
front to back depth well behind the speaker, excellent focus of
instruments and voices with proper vertical information and mid bass
fill.
A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should
provide a soundstage that is wall to wall and with pinpoint focus, the
speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such
information.
Room Treatment
No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be
helpful to treat your room. Here are some guidelines:
Front walls
. This loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore there is
sound coming from both the front and the back of the speaker.
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 front wall to a dead front wall.
By these terms, we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A
typical wall of glas, 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.
Sidewalls
. Because the speaker is a dipole it is less sensitive to
the sidewalls. However, as a rule of thumb it is a good idea to
keep the speaker as far away from the sidewalls as is practical.
With this in mind, it may be helpful to add some damping
