You can even use BOTH single-ended RCA and balanced XLR LFE outputs to daisy-chain even more subwoofers when either the single- ended input or the balanced input is used.

In the case of bass and LFE, using more low frequency sources (not higher level) is better than using less. The point is not to achieve a higher level of bass response but rather, by using multiple subwoofers to distribute the LFE signal around the room, dramatically reducing and evening-out room modes and increasing the bass capability of the system.

Distributing low frequency information is also helpful for reproduction of Multi-channel Music because you get incredible articulation and detail in the bass all around the room.

Power

Make sure the ServoSub 4/8 is plugged into a wall outlet that is always on. The S4/8 has an auto-on feature and will automatically power up from “stand-by” when it detects a signal, and will switch itself to power saving after about 10 minutes of being idle.

We recommend against the use of an extension cord for providing AC power. If you are forced to use an extension cord, make certain that it is as heavy duty (a minimum wire thickness of 12 gauge) an extension cord as you can find. The S4/8 running at full tilt can draw up to 1200Watts from your power supply, so make sure that whatever you plug your subwoofer into can handle it!

Speaker-level connections: High

Level Inputs

Using a good quality speaker cable, connect the output of your power amplifier to the binding posts on the back of the S4/8. You may also connect the S4/8 to the binding posts on the back of your loudspeaker terminals if this is more convenient.

Make sure that you maintain proper polarity. This means that the plus (+)

At the core of the S4/8 is its unique driver configuration, which incorporates advanced materials and engineering techniques. Each speaker features a proprietary ribbon tweeter that offers exceptional high-frequency response, ensuring clarity and detail across the most nuanced audio passages. Coupled with this, the midrange drivers employ advanced composite materials to minimize distortion while providing a rich, warm sound that brings life to vocals and instruments alike.

A standout feature of the S4/8 is its cabinet design, crafted from high-density MDF. This construction choice dramatically reduces resonance, allowing the speakers to produce a cleaner sound free from unwanted coloration. The enclosure is meticulously designed to optimize internal airflow, enhancing the bass response while maintaining tight control over the lower frequencies.

In terms of technology, Genesis Advanced Technologies has integrated a sophisticated crossover network within the S4/8, allowing for precise frequency distribution among the drivers. This results in a seamless integration of sound across all frequencies, ensuring that listeners enjoy a coherent soundstage. Additionally, the S4/8 supports bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations, giving audiophiles the flexibility to customize their setup for the best performance.

The aesthetic appeal of the S4/8 cannot be overlooked. Available in a variety of finishes, including real wood veneers, these speakers not only perform beautifully but also complement any audio setup visually. The elegant design, coupled with a robust build quality, makes the S4/8 a true statement piece.

Furthermore, the S4/8 is designed with user functionality in mind, featuring multiple input options and a straightforward setup process. This speaker is compatible with a wide range of amplification sources, allowing audiophiles to tailor their sound preferences to suit their individual tastes.

In conclusion, the Genesis Advanced Technologies S4/8 is a masterclass in audio engineering, boasting advanced features like a proprietary ribbon tweeter, high-density MDF cabinet, and bi-wiring capabilities.
