2 Setting up
2.1 Positioning
A good starting position is for the G6.1mp 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
G6.1mp to turn it into a full-range absolute fidelity™ system.
On the home theatre processor, set the speaker to “LARGE” as the
G6.1mp will play to below 60Hz even without a subwoofer.
2.2 Tweeter Control
The tweeter control is subtle with only a ± one dB range, but it can make
a great difference in gaining that last bit of additional performance in
tuning your speakers for the system in which you are using them. They
can turn your system from very good to exceptional, so take the time to
work through this process.
The 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. Too high a tweeter level, and you can feel that
voices are too sibilant. With music, crashing cymbals are leaping out at
you, and nylon stringed guitars sound steely. Start with this control at the
12 o'clock position. There is about a ±1dB range for this control.
2.3 Tuning the system
The best way to tune your system is to use music to tune the front
left/right speakers. This way, you will have a system that will deliver
audiophile quality playback. Then, using a full-range pink noise signal
that can be generated by your player, processor, or a test disc, match
the surround and center channels to the front left/right reference.
The ear is a phenomenal measuring instrument. With a little practice, it
will be easy to distinguish subtle differences in sound. The easiest way
is to use a circular pink noise pan, like on the Chesky Ultimate Surround
Set-up and Test DVD-Audio disc. The pan should sound seamless on a
well set-up system.
