Tuning the system

Two channel stereo music is the best way to begin your setup procedure. We suggest that multi-channel and video sources be used only after you have setup the system to properly reproduce music. The room in which the G5 is placed would probably be the greatest influence on the sound of the loudspeaker.

Since we do not live in anechoic chambers, at Genesis, we do not design our loudspeakers to work perfectly in a perfectly damped room. The amount of hard/soft and absorbent/reflecting surfaces will affect the sound of the speakers tremendously.

A room with solid concrete or brick walls, floors and ceiling will have much more bass than if the walls were made of plasterboard, with a suspended floor and false ceiling. An over-stuffed leather sofa will absorb different frequencies to different extents from a light fabric- covered armchair. So, you may even find that you will want to re- tune your system when you change the furnishings in the room.

We suggest that you start your tuning with a single vocal with simple instrumental accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily recognizable than many instruments and is the least complex sound to deal with. A male voice, or a low female voice is the easiest to start working with.

Adjusting the Bass Gain

Leave the low pass filter alone for the moment, as it should remain set at approximately 90 Hz. This control will be addressed later.

Turn the gain control of the woofer amplifier up or down until the voice sounds correct. Whatever controls you use, turn them up and down only a little at a time. It is easy to turn it up or down too much. However, the 12 o’clock position is only the starting point. Different room construction and size will greatly influence the setting of the bass gain.

If your room has “lossy” walls instead of solid brick or concrete walls, you may find that the bass settings may need to be higher. If you have a sealed room with no bass loss, the bass gain may be set as low as 2 or 3.

Concentrate on the mid-bass regions (as opposed to the very low bass in your recording) to achieve a natural blend. The voice and the
