position, they may not sound perfect, but your Genesis loudspeakers will sound great straight out of the box.

3.4 One Change at a Time

One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind: Make one change at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the speakers and make an adjustment to the amplifier all at once. Make each of these changes separately and note the difference - by listening with each adjustment - then make the next change.

3.5 Imaging and Soundstage

We suggest that you start with a single vocal with simple instrumental accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily recognizable than many instruments and is a less complex sound to deal with. Use a good recording that you know has atmosphere and low bass content.

The performer should appear to be positioned behind the loudspeakers and be at the appropriate height for a standing person. If it is not, there are several remedies that will address this shortfall:

If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true for too little volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big, place the speakers closer together and re-listen. Place the speakers no less than 5 feet apart. If the image is still too big, toe the speakers in a slight amount.

Conversely, if the image is too small, move the speakers apart. The speakers should be no more than eight feet apart. Repeat this process until you have it right. If the voice is too low in height, turn the MIDRANGE control up (turning the knob clockwise), and the image of the voice will move upward slightly.

If you have the speakers 18 inches into the room, and you are not getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the speaker enough), pull the speakers away from the front wall a little bit at a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough away, you may not have enough front to back depth. However, slightly more than 1/3 of the way into the room is about as far as you want to go. Pulling them half-way into the middle of the room is unlikely to help.
