1.3 Connections

The speakers should be connected directly to the speaker-level output of your power amplifiers using high quality speaker cables and the 5- way binding posts.

The high-level thru-put binding posts are for connecting to a subwoofer. We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 as the perfect complement to this speaker. The correct cable for connecting a loudspeaker to a ServoSub is an interconnect cable, and not a loudspeaker cable.

The ServoSub has a high-impedance input, and the speaker and power amplifier has a low-impedance output. A computer-networking CAT6 cable can be used as this “jumper” if a good interconnect cable is not available.

1.4 Adjustments

Don’t be too worried by the knob and switches on the back of the G7.1c. Set knob (tweeter level) to the 12 o’clock position, and the stand- alone/with-sub switch depending on whether you have a ServoSub™ connected.

If you have at least 12 inches (30cm) of space between the back of the speaker and the rear wall, the rear tweeter should be left ON. Otherwise, turn the rear tweeter off with the tweeter defeat switch on the back panel.

That is a good place to start. The G7.1c will sound great, straight out of the box. As you play your system for the next hundred hours or so, the speaker will settle down and break in.

Once you familiarize yourself with its performance, putting a little bit of additional effort into tuning the speaker properly for your system (which includes the room), will give you greater long-term enjoyment and benefits.
