Controls
There are a total of five control knobs in two rows on the back plate
of the Genesis 5 loudspeaker.
The upper left knob on the back
plate marked “Tweeter” is a volume
control for the front tweeter. Turning
this control clockwise will increase
the level of the front tweeter. Use
this control if you need a bit more
treble or to increase the apparent
space of the soundstage. Start with
this control at the 12 o'clock
position. There is about a one dB
range for this control. The 12 o’clock straight up position is
nominal for all controls.
The upper right knob marked “Midrange”is used to adjust the
level of the midrange. Again, start this at the 12 o’clock position.
Turning the control anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise) will
make the midrange sound more laid-back, and turning it
clockwise will make the midrange more forward. There is about a
one-and-a-half dB range for this control.
The knob on the middle of the lower
row of knobs marked “Bass Gain”
controls the volume of the built-in bass
servo amplifier. Begin with this control
at 6 (the 12 o’clock position). Adjusting
the gain higher will make the
loudspeaker sound “fuller” and more
bass-heavy.
The knob on the middle right marked “Low Pass” controls how
high the woofer will play. At the extreme low of 71Hz, the woofer
will play up to 71Hz, and then begin rolling off, or reducing its
volume, above this frequency. The recommended beginning
position for this control is 90Hz. Adjusting the crossover point up
will make the G5 sound warmer and fuller in the mid-bass.
The knob on the left marked “LFE Gain” is used for home theatre
applications, so ignore it for the time being.
