3  Setting up: Multi-channel 

3.1  Positioning as Main Left/Right Channel 

When positioning the G7.1p as the main left and right channels of a 
multi-channel, the same principles as positioning for a stereo system 
apply. This will ensure that your system can be used for two-channel as 
well as for multi-channel sources. 

However, the inclusion of a screen between the speakers may mean 
that the speakers have to be put much further apart than ideal. In this 
case, you can toe the speakers in a little more. However, if the primary 
source of entertainment is multi-channel, more often than not the center 
channel will “fill in” the soundstage hole caused by the screen. 

On the home theatre processor, the speaker should be set to “SMALL”. 
The G7.1p plays to approximately 65Hz. If a ServoSub is used to 
support the low frequency extension of G7.1p using the speaker 
throughputs, set the speaker setting to “LARGE”. 

3.2  Positioning for Center Channel 

While the G7.1c is the better partner for the G7.1p as a center 
channel, the G7.1p can be used if budget is really tight. A good 
starting position is for the G7.1p to be placed about 20 inches from the 
floor, and angled upwards by 3 to 5 degrees. This is assuming that the 
speaker doesn’t block the screen in this position. 

Use a good quality stand that is solidly built and as rigid as possible. The 
Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 is a unique subwoofer that complements the 
G7.1p to turn it into a full-range absolute fidelity™ system, and also 
makes a perfect stand for the G7.1p. 

An alternative is to place the speaker upside-down (tweeter down) 
above the television set, and angle it downwards by 3 to 5 degrees. In 
either case, do not point the speaker directly at the head of the listener, 
but either over her head, or at her chest. 

As these speakers are dipolar with a rear-firing tweeter, there should be 
at least 12 inches (30cm) of space between the back of the speaker and 
the wall. If this space is not available, turn the rear tweeter off with the 
tweeter defeat switch. 

3.3  Positioning for Surround Channel 

The G7.1p can also be used as a surround channel either mounted 
on the wall, or on high stands. When they are used close to the wall, 
turn the rear tweeters off with the tweeter defeat switch.
