1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Surround Channel, we realize
that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, please read
this quick set-up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you) before
you proceed.
1.1 Unpacking
Your loudspeakers will come to you in a large shipping carton weighing
over 43lbs (20kgs). Use correct lifting techniques when moving the
speaker carton around or lifting the speaker out of its carton. We will
not
be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during
unpacking and setting up.
1.2 Placement
If you are hanging the speakers on the wall, you will need a qualified
installer to mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh
38.5 pounds (17.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it
falls on someone! We suggest either brackets that we supply for flat-wall
or corner mounting, or your installer may be able to recommend other
forms of mounting.
1.3 Connections
The speakers should be connected directly to the speaker-level output
of your power amplifiers using high quality speaker cables and the 5-
way binding posts.
The high-level thru-put binding posts on the speaker are for connecting it
to a subwoofer. We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 2/12t as the
perfect complement to this speaker. The S2/12t is designed for corner or
sidewall loading – making it the ideal companion for a surround
loudspeaker.
1.4 Adjustments
The G6.1sr has two knobs on the back – one sets the tweeter level, and
the other switches the speaker between dipole, monopole, and remote-
switchable operation modes. Set the tweeter level to the 12 o’clock
position and the mode to monopole.
Once you familiarize yourself with its performance, putting a little bit of
additional effort into tuning the speaker properly for your system (which
includes the room), will give you greater long-term enjoyment and
benefits.
