Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 5 loudspeaker system, we
realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However,
please read this set up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for
you!) before you proceed.
Unpacking
Your loudspeakers will come to you in two large shipping cartons
and a smaller box containing the acoustic suspension. The G5’s
weigh over 145lbs (66kgs) each, so we suggest a minimum of two
strong people to move the speakers around. We will not be held
liable for damage (to either the speakers or your backs!) during
unpacking and setting up if you ignore this basic advice.
The bottom of the speaker’s acoustic suspension will be spiked into
the foam. You may want to retract the spikes at each corner of the
suspension frame before attempting to remove the foam. It will also
be very much easier to move the speaker around with the spikes
retracted.
Please collapse and store your packaging material in case you need
to ship the speakers later. You WILL need all your packaging
material to transport your speakers safely.
Room Placement
A good starting position for your G5 is about 20% the way into the
room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you
are seated listening to the speakers), six feet (~2m) apart, and firing
straight ahead with no toe-in. You will want to sit ten to twelve feet
(3m – 4m) away from the speakers, and have at least 24 inches
(60cm) from the back of the speaker to the wall.
If in a smaller room, you may have to sit closer to the back wall, or sit
closer to the speakers, but try to keep at least 24 inches of space
behind the speakers. This allows the speaker to “breath” as there is
a rear-firing woofer, a mid-bass coupler and a tweeter.
Start with the speakers six feet apart, and not toed-in. You will want
to sit at least 10 feet (3 metres) away from the speakers for proper
integration of the drivers. (See diagram on the next page). We will
experiment with moving the speakers around, and toeing them in
later.
