~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó A Message from Genesis Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest loudspeakers in the world. Based on technologies developed for our flagship Genesis 1, the Genesis 6.1 Center Channel (G6.1c) is designed for those of us who live in beautiful homes and want an elegant loudspeaker that will deliver the best sound in its class. While the G6.1c is designed as a center channel speaker in a multi- channel music or home theater system, it is also design

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Center 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 70lbs (32kgs). We suggest that two strong people move the speaker carton around and to lift the speaker out of its car

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 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 are for connecting to a subwoofer. We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 as the perfect complement to this speaker. 1.4 Adjustments Don’t be too worried by the knobs on the back of the G6.1c. Just set both knobs to the 12 o’clock position. That is a go

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó 2 Setting up: Multi-channel 2.1 Positioning for Center Channel A good starting position is for the G6.1c to be placed horizontally about 20 inches from the floor, and angled upwards by 3 to 5 degrees. This is assuming that the speaker doesn’t block the screen in this position. Use a good quality stand that is solidly built and as rigid as possible. The Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 is a unique subwoofer that complements the G6.1c to turn it into a full-range absolute fidel

The right knob marked MIDRANGE is used to adjust the level of the midrange. Start at the 12 o’clock position. Turning the control anti- clockwise will make the midrange sound leaner - turning it clockwise will make the midrange sound fuller. A fuller midrange can also make voices sound more forward. There is about a ± one

They should be placed on good, solid speaker stands about 18 to 24 inches (60cm) high. You will notice that the tweeter and midrange drivers are mounted on a round plate secured with four screws.

They can turn your system from very good to exceptional, so take the time to work through this process. The left knob marked TWEETER is a volume control for the front tweeter. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the tweeters. Use this control if you need a bit more treble, or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage.

Do not, for instance, change position of the speakers and make an adjustment to the amplifier all at once. Make each of these changes separately and note the difference - by listening with each adjustment - then make the next change. 3.5 Imaging and Sounds

If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may angle the left and right speaker up to about 15 to 20 degrees (toe-in) towards your listening position until you have a properly defined center image. If the speakers are too far apart, the mid-bass will de-couple and you will lose the side image If they are too close together you will have too small a center stage. When properl

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should provide a soundstage that is wall-to-wall, with pinpoint focus; the speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such information. 3.7 Room Treatment No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be helpful to treat your room. Here are some guidelines: Front walls. This loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore, there is sound coming from both the front and back of the speaker.

However, you may want to experiment with diffusers or absorbers behind you for best sound. Absorption behind the listener is usually beneficial. 3.8 Mastering the Refinements of the system Fine tuning an audio system is an art that will take time and patience. It can be one of the more rewarding lea

At Genesis, we strive to get the loudspeakers and the room to work well together and hence, design loudspeakers that interact with the room and have enough of adjustment to make them work with most rooms in the world. All rooms have floors, ceilings and sidewalls that distort sound becau

One is front-firing and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front tweeter, creating a dipole. 4.2.2 Titanium Midrange We sometimes say that the midrange is a window into the mind of a composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the “magic” is in a well-recor

In some parts of the cabinet where vibration would have been the greatest, two inches (52mm) of multi-layer bonded MDF was used to provide damping, structural integrity and a rigid platf
