Genesis Reference Amplifier Owners Manual Ver 2.0 3
Set-up and Safety Information
Now that you have your new amplifier, we realize that you can't wait to hook
it up and start playing! However, please read this set-up guide and safety
information before you proceed.
Unpacking and Setting Up
The amplifier is likely to come in parts – the amplifier module, an acoustic
suspension, and a power transformer (an auxiliary power supply upgrade
called the Maximum Dynamic Headroom Reservoir is also available) unless
your dealer has assembled it for you. So, some assembly may be needed
before you can start playing. It is important that this product is never used
near water or sources of water. Avoid bathrooms, washbowls, kitchen sinks,
swimming pools, etc.
Carefully remove the various parts of the amplifier package from the cartons
and unwrap it. The suspension system will need to be assembled to the
amplifier chassis. You will use the hex key and four hex screws supplied to
do this.
Place the amplifier chassis top down on a clean surface.
Place the suspension frame on the shock absorbers so that
the holes of the shock absorbers are aligned with the
matching holes on the frame. The suspension frame “points”
forwards so that the tip of the triangle faces to the front of
the amplifier, and the round hole is in the front.
Use the hex screws and the supplied hex key to secure the
suspension frame to the shock absorbers. Do not over-
tighten the screws.
Turn the amplifier over, screw in the steel spike bolts into
the threaded holes in each corner of the suspension frame.
Screw them in so that the spikes protrude by about a third of
an inch (8mm) from the bottom of the frame and no more.
The Acoustic Suspension will allow the amplifier to be
placed directly on the floor, or on any piece of furniture or
equipment rack. The amplifier should not be subject to
vibration of any sort. Do not place them directly in front of, or
on top of your loudspeakers. Despite the vibration and
resonance control measures already taken in the Genesis
Reference Amplifier, we are not able to completely eliminate
all incoming vibration.
