A Quick Start Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis 5.3 loudspeaker system, 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.

Unpacking

Your loudspeakers will come to you in two large shipping cartons. The G5’s weigh over 145lbs (66kgs) each, so we suggest a minimum of two strong people to move the speakers around. We will not be held liable for damage (to either the speakers or your backs!) during unpacking and setting up if you ignore this basic advice. Please collapse and keep your packaging in case you need to ship the speakers.

Room Placement

A good starting position for your G5 is about 20% the way into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers), six feet (~2m) apart, and firing straight ahead with no toe-in. You will want to sit ten to twelve feet (3m – 4m) away from the speakers, and have at least 24inches (60cm) from the back of the speaker to the wall.

Typical room placement: Place speakers about 20% of the way into the room and 10 to 12 feet from the listeners
