Tuning the system 

Music is the best way to begin to fine-tune your setup. We suggest 
that video sources be used only after you have setup the system to 
properly reproduce music. While we deliver the G2

jr

 after at least 

50 hours of running-in, further fine-tuning of your system may be 
necessary after 800 hours or so. As the loudspeaker system 
breaks in, it will sound better and better. 

A comprehensive Genesis Loudspeaker Set-up Procedure with 
music suggestions is included with this owner’s manual, or the 
latest version can be downloaded from the Genesis website at

Midrange and Tweeter Controls 

The knob marked 

TWEETER

 controls the output of the three rear-

firing tweeters. If there is not enough space behind your 
loudspeaker, the rear tweeter control can be turned down (counter-
clockwise or to the left). In large rooms, the tweeter control can be 
turned up. Use this control if you need a bit more treble or to 
increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Start with this 
control at the 12 o'clock position. 

The 

MIDRANGE

 control on the right side is a three-position switch 

used to adjust the midrange. Start the midrange control at position 
two 

(also the 12 o’clock position). Position one will sound fuller in 

the lower midrange while position three will sound leaner and have 
more upper midrange. 

The less obvious effect (more obvious to some people!!) of the 
midrange control is to make the soundstage sound more forward, 
and change the perceived height and position of the performance. 

Position two gives you a soundstage perspective of about the 
middle of the concert hall (in the stalls). Position three is more like 
the orchestra seats, and position one may be more like the circle 
seats. 

Begin with Bass Tuning 

The first thing that needs to be understood is that the G2

jr

 is an 

unusual loudspeaker with a line-source midrange/tweeter and a 
point-source woofer. There are great advantages to having a line 
source (explained in the Technology section). One of the
