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.
