1 Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, this is a big, complex system. There is no “quick” set-up.

You will need at least three immensely strong people. Be prepared to allocate 5 to 8 hours to the initial unpacking, set-up and configuration. Mentally condition yourself for hard, manual work that must also be done carefully and precisely so as not to hurt your precious new acquisition.

1.1Unpacking

The Genesis 1.1 system is packed in eight (8) wooden shipping crates and four (4) cardboard boxes. There are two crates containing a woofer tower each, two midrange/tweeter wing-panel crates containing two wings per crate, two crates each containing the midrange ribbon and tweeters mounted on a Corian™ panel, a crate with the two midrange/tweeter wing bases, and another one with the two woofer tower bases. There will also be a box containing two crossover boxes, two boxes each holding a 6-channel servo- controlled bass amplifier, and a box containing all the supplied connecting cables.

To remove the contents of all the crates, you will need at least three immensely strong people – the Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system weighs a total of 2,640 lbs (1,200kg) – to move the various parts of the speakers around. We cannot be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up.

First, determine where you will be placing the speakers. They are extremely heavy, so some forward planning will come in handy. Depending on the surface they are set on, you may find that the speakers are impossible to shift after setting up. Please see the section on placement and carefully mark up the places where you will set the four columns.

Start by un-boxing the woofer tower and wing bases. These are the small, flat wooden the crates. Unscrew the plywood top and remove. You will want to use a fully-recharged mechanical screwdriver for this as there are many, many long tightly inserted screws to be removed.
