The loudspeaker should be located on a flat stable floor; spikes must be installed and adjusted to
suit.
CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS TO YOUR POWER AMPLIFIER
It is very simple to connect the loudspeakers to the amplifier, but the cable that connects the
loudspeakers with the amplifier can have a significant effect on the overall sound quality of your audio
system. So please choose high quality loudspeaker cables that can match your audio equipment perfectly,
ask your AURUM CANTUS dealer or distributor for their recommendation.
GENESIS loudspeakers have four connectors (for bi-wiring use) on the rear panel. And each connector
can accept spade plugs, banana plugs or bares wire.
Make sure the output terminals
“
+
”
or
“
red
”
on the amplifier are connected to the connectors
“
+
”
or
“
red
”
on the loudspeakers, likewise, make sure the output terminals
“－”
or
“
black
”
on the amplifier
are connected to the connectors
“－”
or
“
black
”
on the loudspeakers, and then please double check the
connections are correct and stable.
When using the bi-wring system, firstly remove the gold short-circuit plates from the connectors, and
then connect the cables following the above instructions.
One option switch for volume output is assembled in the rear plate of GENESIS, when switching
to High, the output of high volume will increase about 1dB. Contrarily, when switching to Low, the
output of high volume will decrease about 1dB.
NOTE
：
BEFORE POWER UP, YOU MUST REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE MEMBRANE FROM THE
TWEETER
.
THE OPERATION APPROACHES POWER UP
z
Firstly, switch on the power of the sound source equipment (CD, SACD, DVD
－
Audio, LP, DVD
ect)
, then switch on the power source of the amplifier (you must assure that the volume control of
the amplifier is set in the lowest (0) position)
，
lastly raise the output power of the amplifier slowly
after you inserted the software into the sound source equipment until you are satisfied with the
volume.
When you want to shut down the audio system, please firstly dial the volume to the lowest (0)
position, and then switch off the power source of the amplifier, lastly switch off the power of the
sound source equipment
.
z
Please adjust the volume with care when you are playing dynamic music. If the sound pressure
level is too strong, the instant peak value of the dynamic music may cause the amplifier to distort and
can cause damage to the loudspeakers.
z
If you purchased a low-priced amplifier, please use it with care.
LOUDSPEAKERS BREAK IN PERIOD
After testing, the pure aluminum ribbon loudspeaker requires at least 80 hours of break in to obtain the
normal working condition. In order to achieve the optimum performance sooner, we recommend the
loudspeakers break in as continuously as possible.
CLEANING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
z
Please do remember not to use a vacuum cleaner on or near the loudspeakers, otherwise it could
cause damage to the diaphragm of the tweeter.
z
Please remove the grille before cleaning the grille cloth.
z
Use a damp soft cloth to clean the cabinets. We recommend maintaining an occasional furniture
grade wax and polish the wood surface of the cabinet.
