You can tilt the tonality of the speaker towards bright or dry with
the tweeter control, and forward or laid-back with the midrange
control.
Home Theater and Multi-Channel Music
While the Genesis 5.3 was designed with the audiophile in mind, its
performance and features make it ideal for Home Theater as well.
The G5 is truly a full frequency loudspeaker that satisfies the
requirement for THX™, Dolby Digital and DTS cinema
reproduction. However the combination of the low frequency
capability and a unique set of controls and connections on the G5
provide Home Theater users benefits beyond other loudspeakers on
the market.
In essence, the G5 has a servo-controlled subwoofer already
included in each speaker. This capability allows the G5 to
reproduce the low frequency effects (LFE) signal available on all
modern movie decoders. An additional benefit of using this feature
is that the LFE will come from two (or more) locations in your room
versus using a single subwoofer for LFE. Utilizing this capability
dramatically reduces room bass mode and bass node problems.
This results in smoother bass integration in the room, and a huge
system impact capability.
LFE Input
The Low Frequency Effects (LFE) input allows the G5 to be used in
addition to, or in place of, a separate sub-woofer. The LFE input
blends the low frequency effects signal from the home theatre
processor into the woofer section of the speakers.
The LFE input bypasses the internal crossover, and hence uses the
home theatre processor’s crossover. Since the G5 is able to play
down to 18Hz, the bass section can also be used as your Home
Theater System’s LFE sub-woofer if you do not have one – even if
you are using a completely different set of loudspeakers for your
home theatre system!
On the home theatre processor, set the speakers to “LARGE” and
sub-woofer to “YES” even if you do not have a separate sub-woofer.
Then, take the sub-woofer line-level output from the processor, and
plug it into the “LFE IN” connector on the G5.
