Midrange/Tweeter

Controls

You will notice two controls on the back of the midrange/ tweeter panel. The left hand knob is a trim control for the rear tweeters. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the rear tweeters.

If there is not enough space behind your loudspeaker, the rear tweeter control can be turned down. In large rooms,

the tweeter control can be turned up. Use this control if you need a bit more treble or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Start with this control at the twelve o'clock position.

The control on the right side is a three-position switch used to adjust the midrange. Start at position two. Position one will sound fuller in the lower midrange while position three will sound leaner and have more upper midrange.

The less obvious effect (more obvious to some people!!) of the midrange control is to make the soundstage sound more forward, and change the perceived height and position of the performance. Relative to position two, you can raise the soundstage by moving to position three (it’s like moving your seat forwards in the concert hall!!)

Position two gives you a soundstage perspective of about the middle of the concert hall. Position three is more like the orchestra seats, and position one may be more like the circle seats.

While it is relatively easy to put the Genesis 2 loudspeaker system into your room and system and get a reasonable sound, it is not as easy to perfectly integrate the loudspeakers into your room, and get great music out of it. The time you will take to do this properly will be well worth it for the long-term enjoyment you will derive. This fine-tuning is covered later in this manual.
