A Quick Start Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis Surround ServoSub 2/12t, we realize that you are eager to hook it up and start listening! Nevertheless, please read this quick start guide NOW before you begin setting it up.

Safety Tips

The S2/12t is a powered subwoofer with a built-in amplifier: it needs to be connected to a power socket that is always on. Make sure that you are providing the correct voltage, and keep the S2/12t away from water and direct heat.

Connections

There are two common options for hooking-up the S2/12t to your existing system. For dedicated music systems and bass extension of surround speakers, connect the high-level speaker binding posts on the S2/12t to your amplifier’s speaker outputs, or connect them to the “speaker through” binding posts on the associated speaker, using a short run of loudspeaker cable.

For traditional subwoofer use in audio/video systems in multi-channel home theater applications, connect the line level LFE output of your processor to the LFE input on the S2/12t

Our unique LFE Blend™ technology allows you to use the S2/12t in BOTH your music system and your home theater system at the same time by using the high-level speaker inputs to augment the bass response of your surround speakers and connecting your processor’s LFE output to the the LFE Input. You are able to blend the two signals together

for better bass management of your listening room.

The S2/12t’s LFE out can be used to daisy-chain multiple Genesis subwoofers together for better control of the bass modes in your listening room. This makes bass management easier, and reduces the chance of experiencing a boomy, inarticulate bass response.
