A Message from Genesis 

Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest 
loudspeakers in the world. The Genesis 7.1 Petite (G7.1p) features 
the world’s first solid titanium cone mid-woofer, and shares 
technologies developed for our flagship Genesis 1.1. 
 
The G7.1p is designed to be as flexible as possible. It can be used 
as a pair of audiophile stereo loudspeakers or, in a multi-channel 
system, can also be used as main left/right speakers, or as 
surround or rear channels. 
 
So that it will fit into the décor of any home, the cabinet design is a 
combination of acoustic, furniture, interior design and architectural 
principles. Care was taken in the selection of fine furniture-quality 
natural wood veneer finishes, and high-gloss “Italian” or automotive 
finish. 
 
Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make 
the G7.1p cabinet rigid and well damped. All construction is of ¾ 
inch MDF and panels have been “tongue and grooved” to ensure 
that the cabinet is the best environment on which to mount the 
transducers. This results in extremely low cabinet coloration, and 
excellent soundstaging and imaging. The proportions are also 
designed to be visually pleasing and elegant. 
 
Please read this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to get the 
maximum enjoyment out of your purchase. Also, check out our 
website at

 for the latest updates, 

tips & tricks, and support for our owners. 

 

Please write the serial number and purchase details of your Genesis 7.1c 
here for future reference.
