A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should provide a soundstage that is wall-to-wall, with pinpoint focus; the speakers disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.

3.7 Room Treatment

No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be helpful to treat your room. Here are some guidelines:

Front walls. This loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore, there is sound coming from both the front and back of the speaker. How the front wall (the wall you face while listening), is treated or not treated is important. Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live (hard reflective) front wall to a dead (soft absorbent) front wall.

By these terms, we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A typical wall of glass, brick, cement or drywall material is a reflective surface. A heavily curtained or sound-proofed wall would be considered a "dead wall" or a non-reflective wall. A normal thin curtain across a window causes only a small amount of absorption.

Sidewalls. Because the speaker is a dipole, it is less sensitive to the sidewalls. However, as a rule of thumb it is a good idea to keep the speaker as far away from the sidewalls as is practical. In some rooms, it may be helpful to add some damping material or diffuser panels to the point of first reflection. This is a point on the sidewalls between the listener and the loudspeaker. It is where the sound from the loudspeaker first hits the sidewall, then bounces to the listener. This reflection is undesirable because it is slightly delayed from the original sound. This point on the sidewall can be easily determined with the help of a second person and a mirror.

Sitting in your listening position, have an assistant hold a mirror up on the sidewall. Move the mirror until you can see the tweeter. This is the point of first reflection. A diffuser (see your audio dealer), an absorptive material or even a piece of
