Set-up Guide

Positioning

A good starting position for the Genesis 5 is about 20% of the way into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers). If you are in a smaller room, try to have at least 24 inches (60 cm) of space from the back of the speaker to the front wall. You may have to sit closer to the back wall, or sit closer to the speakers, but try to keep at least 24 inches of space behind the speakers.

Start with the speakers six feet apart, and not toed-in. You will want to sit at least 10 feet (3 metres) away from the speakers for proper integration of the drivers. We will experiment with moving the speakers around, and toeing them in later.

Power Connections

There are two connections you will need to make to the G5. First, the power cord for the built-in amplifier will need to be plugged into a power socket. A 10-foot power cord is included with your speakers for this purpose. We do not recommend using an extension cord for the G5 due to the high power demands of the 500W amplifier. However, if you MUST use an extension cord, use an extremely heavy duty one. The amplifier can draw up to 10 amps at 115v, hence make sure that the extension cord is adequately rated.

Before you plug the power cord in, please make sure that the voltage selector is set to the proper voltage. Japan and North America will require the 115v setting. Most European countries and other Asian countries will require 230v. The fuse is a 5amp 250v slow blow irregardless of voltage used.

There is an on/off switch for the power amplifier. This switch should always be left on. We recommend that you plug the
