1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Center Channel, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, please read this quick set-up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you) before you proceed.

1.1 Unpacking

Your loudspeakers will come to you in a large shipping carton weighing over 70lbs (32kgs). We suggest that two strong people move the speaker carton around and to lift the speaker out of its carton. Even then, use correct lifting techniques.

We will not be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up.

1.2 Placement

Used as a center channel, the G6.1c can be placed below or above your screen. If you have a perforated, sonically transparent projector screen, you may place it behind the screen. In all cases, do not point the tweeter directly at the ears of the listeners. Angle the speaker so that the tweeter points 12 inches (30cm) below the ears or over the top of the head.

As a stereo pair of speakers, a good starting position for your G6.1c is about 18 inches (46cm) into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers) to the back of the speakers. Place the speakers vertically on a stand that is at least 24 inches high, and about five feet (1.5 metres) apart with the tweeters closest together. Toe the speakers in slightly towards the listeners – by about 5 to 10 degrees – no more.

You will want to sit nine to twelve feet (three to four metres) away from the speakers. When sitting further away, you should place the speakers further apart.

If you are using the G6.1c as monopole surround or rear speakers, and you are hanging them on the wall, you will need a qualified installer to mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh over 69 pounds (31.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on someone!
