A Message from Genesis

Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest sub- woofers available for music and home theater systems.

The Genesis Surround ServoSub™ 2/12t is a unique subwoofer with two 12” woofers that is designed for applications requiring corner or sidewall placement, and is universally installation friendly. The unique shape of the S2/12t makes it an ideal partner to surround or rear loudspeakers in a multi-channel music or home theater system. The S2/12t is ideal in multiple subwoofer installations where the distributed bass of the system produces low bass that is more even, without resonance peaks (nodes) and valleys (anti-nodes) of a single source.

The S2/12t delivers bass frequencies as intended by the musical performer, or as intended by the movie director. This is what we call

absolute fidelity™. In this case, we mean that the bass response of the speaker is completely faithful to the input signal. This is achieved by servo control of the woofer cone.

The S2/12t plays as loudly and deeply as much larger sub-woofers that cost much more, and outperforms them in terms of transient fidelity and freedom from the colorations inherent in ported subwoofer designs.

Robert Harley puts it best in his review of the Genesis subwoofers in The Perfect Vision: “Transient impact was extraordinary; the dynamic envelope of low-frequency sounds was tight, clean, and articulate…. In

addition, bass extension was outstanding; this woofer extended to subterranean depths and maintained its composure.” He went on to say, “It combines first-rate musicality and exceptional delicacy with a bottom-end solidity and power that was fully up to the job of reproducing today’s dynamic soundtracks.”

Please read through the Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to achieve the maximum enjoyment from your purchase.

Please write the serial number and purchase details of your Genesis S2/12t here for future reference.
