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.

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.
