3 Tuning the system
Music is the best way to begin your set-up procedure. We suggest that
video sources be used only after you have set-up the system to properly
reproduce music. There is no “perfect” setting for the G6.1 loudspeaker.
Every listening room is different, and we recommend that you take the
time to carefully tune the system into the environment it is placed in.
Setting all the knobs at the “12 o’clock” position is “normal” and will be
the position from which you can start tuning. With the controls in this
position, it may not sound perfect, but your Genesis loudspeaker will
sound great straight out of the box.
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. Use a good recording that you know has atmosphere and
low bass content.
3.1 Adjusting Bass Gain
Adjust the L
OW
P
ASS
filter up to approximately 105 Hz. This is the point
where the mid-bass couplers best crossover to the woofers in
most
listening rooms.
Turn the B
ASS
G
AIN
control of the woofer amplifier up or down until the
voice sounds correct. Whatever controls you use, turn them up and
down only a little at a time, and then carefully listen to the change in the
music.
Concentrate on the mid bass regions (as opposed to the very low bass
in your recording) to achieve a natural blend. The voice and the music
accompaniment should sound as if they were cut from one cloth, not
separate.
If the voice sounds “thin” or does not have enough “chest” to its sound,
turn the B
ASS
G
AIN
up a little until it does. If you find that turning the gain
up creates too much low bass, you will then need to work on the L
OW
P
ASS
filter.
3.2 Low Pass filter
This control will raise or lower the frequency cut-off point of the woofer.
Turning the L
OW
P
ASS
filter up to a higher number will extend the upper
bass regions without affecting the low bass level. Some rooms that have
lots of bass loss may require you to set the low pass filter up to 135Hz.
Do not be afraid to increase this control to give the sound more body.
