1 Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system, we
realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, this
is a big, complex system. There is no “quick” set-up.
You will need at least three immensely strong people. Be prepared to
allocate 5 to 8 hours to the initial unpacking, set-up and configuration.
Mentally condition yourself for hard, manual work that must also be
done carefully and precisely so as not to hurt your precious new
acquisition.
1.1 Unpacking
The Genesis 1.1 system is packed in eight (8) wooden shipping crates
and four (4) cardboard boxes. There are two crates containing a
woofer tower each, two midrange/tweeter wing-panel crates
containing two wings per crate, two crates each containing the
midrange ribbon and tweeters mounted on a Corian™ panel, a crate
with the two midrange/tweeter wing bases, and another one with the
two woofer tower bases. There will also be a box containing two
crossover boxes, two boxes each holding a 6-channel servo-
controlled bass amplifier, and a box containing all the supplied
connecting cables.
To remove the contents of all the crates, you will need at least three
immensely strong people – the Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system
weighs a total of 2,640 lbs (1,200kg) – to move the various parts of the
speakers around. We cannot be held liable for damage to either the
speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up.
First, determine where you will be placing the speakers. They are
extremely heavy, so some forward planning will come in handy.
Depending on the surface they are set on, you may find that the
speakers are impossible to shift after setting up. Please see the
section on placement and carefully mark up the places where you will
set the four columns.
Start by un-boxing the woofer tower and wing bases. These are
the small, flat wooden the crates. Unscrew the plywood top and
remove. You will want to use a fully-recharged mechanical
screwdriver for this as there are many, many long tightly
inserted screws to be removed.
