3.2.2 Tweeter Defeat
The optimal way to use these speakers as a stereo pair is to leave the
rear tweeters on, and run them as dipole and at least 18-inches from the
front wall. However, in some cases, this may not be possible.
Should the speakers have to be placed with their backs less than 12
inches from the wall, the rear tweeters should be turned off.
3.3 Tuning the system
Music is the best way to begin your set-up procedure. We suggest that
video sources be used only after you have set-up the system to properly
reproduce music. There is no “perfect” setting for the G7.1c
loudspeaker. Every listening room is different, and we recommend that
you take the time to carefully tune the system for the environment in
which it is placed.
Your Genesis loudspeakers should sound great straight out of the box. If
you don’t like the sound, several hundred hours of breaking-in will not
change the sound of your speakers, although it may break-in your ears!
3.4 One Change at a Time
One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind: Make one change
at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the speakers and
make an adjustment to the tweeter 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 Soundstage
We suggest that you start with a single vocal with simple instrumental
accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily
recognizable than many instruments and is a less complex sound to
deal with. Use a good recording that you know has atmosphere and
low bass content.
The performer should appear to be positioned behind the loudspeakers
and be at the appropriate height for a standing person. If it is not, there
are several remedies that will address this shortfall:
If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the
system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for
someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume
the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true for too little
volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big,
place the speakers closer together and re-listen. Place the speakers
