loudspeakers, bass is sacrificed when the speaker is switched to dipole
mode. In the G6.1sr, however, the crossover splits the frequency at
around 200Hz. The frequencies above 200Hz are inverted in phase,
while the frequencies below 200Hz are kept in phase. This accounts for
the phenomenal bass performance of this absolute fidelity surround
speaker.
For most music and even Dolby Digital™ and DTS™ use, we
recommend that you switch the speakers to monopole mode. We
prefer this even for movies because the rear and surround
channels typically produce more music and voices than sound
effects even when watching DVDs.
When set in remote switchable mode, a 12V signal applied to the
inner terminals at the bottom of the back-plate switches the speaker
to dipole mode. The default mode is monopole.
2.3 Tuning the system
The best way to tune your system is to use music to tune the front
left/right speakers. This way, you will have a system that will deliver
audiophile quality playback. Then, using a full-range pink noise signal
that can be generated by your player, processor, or a test disc, match
the surround and center channels to the front left/right reference.
The ear is a phenomenal measuring instrument. With a little practice, it
will be easy to distinguish subtle differences in sound. The easiest way
is to use a circular pink noise pan, like on the Chesky Ultimate Surround
Set-up and Test DVD-Audio disc. The pan should sound seamless on a
well set-up system.
Every listening room is different, and we recommend that you take the
time to carefully tune the system for the environment in which it is
placed. Due to room idiosyncrasies, do not be afraid to set the left and
right speakers to different levels.
Setting the tweeter level 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, they may not sound perfect, but your Genesis loudspeakers will
sound great straight out of the box.
