~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 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 it

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 2 Setting up 2.1 Positioning A good starting position is for the G6.1sr to be placed horizontally about 48 inches from the floor and approximately 10 degrees behind the listener, and at the same distance from the listener as the main L/C/R speakers. Use a good quality stand that is solidly built and as rigid as possible, or hang the speakers on extremely strong brackets on the wall. The Genesis ServoSub™ 2/12t is a unique subwoofer that complements the G6.1sr to

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

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 3 The Technology used 3.1 The Transducers The transducers in the 3-way G6.1sr are all proprietary Genesis- designed drivers manufactured to our exacting standards: 3.1.1 The Genesis Ribbon Tweeter Reviewers in the audiophile press have often remarked that the Genesis circular ribbon tweeter is the world’s best. It is a one inch circular planar ribbon design crafted from an extremely thin membrane of Kapton® with a photo-etched aluminium “voice coil” that is a mere

When the G6.1sr is switched to dipole mode, a unique phase shifting crossover channels the midrange frequencies above 200Hz to these woofers, running them out of phase. The frequencies below 200Hz are kept in phase in order to maintain the bass response of these speakers. 3.2 Crossover The crossover is the brain of the loudsp

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 3.3 Vibration-free Cabinet The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity. In some parts of the cabinet where vibration would have been the greatest, 1½ inches (36mm) of multi-layer bonded MDF was used to provide damping, structural integrity and a rigid platform for the drivers to be located. Extensive bracing was carefully incorporated using 12mm slabs of MDF to eliminate cabin
