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.
