Position two gives you a soundstage perspective of about the
middle of the concert hall. Position three is more like the orchestra
seats, and position one may be more like the circle seats.
While it is relatively easy to put the Genesis 2 loudspeaker system
into your room and system and get a reasonable sound, it is not as
easy to perfectly integrate the loudspeakers into your room, and
get great music out of it. The time you will take to do this properly
will be well worth it for the long-term enjoyment you will derive. This
fine tuning is covered later in this manual.
Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier Protection
The servo-bass amplifier has numerous protection circuits built in to
protect both the amplifier and the woofers. If you over-drive the
amplifier, it will self-protect and you will hear clicking or thumping
sounds. If that happens, turn down the volume of your system to
protect your hearing and your speakers.
The amplifier is designed to be current-limited to 20amps – this is
more than enough to supply over 1600W transients to the woofers.
However, the servo-system in the G2 is not compression or
dynamic limited. Hence, it is possible to play the system too loud,
and damage the woofers.
Due to the efficiency of the amplification modules, they deliver
and draw current extremely quickly. Hence, you may find that a
very loud bass drum thwack will cause your lights to dim, or the
circuit breakers to trip if you do not supply enough power to your
system.
A possible solution will be to install an additional 20amp circuit in
your listening room, and purchase an additional power supply to
separate the power needs of the left and right woofer towers. Also,
a Dynamic Reservoir (developed for the Genesis Reference
Amplifier) is available as an optional upgrade. You will only need to
do this if heavy bass dims your lights.
A Word about Finish
The G2 is entirely covered in high-gloss acrylic. Acrylic was picked
for its sonic properties as well as its beauty. However, acrylic is a
soft material that can scratch easily.
