Assembling the Acoustic Suspension
A unique feature of the Genesis 2.2 loudspeaker system is the integration of an acoustic suspension system for the loudspeaker columns. This is an essential feature of the cabinet structure – resulting in lower coloration, better definition and rock- solid imaging.
The suspension system comprises of a suspension frame made of
Should you be placing the speakers on a hardwood floor or a floor that would scratch easily, do not use “spike cups”. These defeat the purpose of having a spike in the first place! Use a copper penny – the weight of the speaker on the spike will create a depression in the penny, and this point is what will efficiently transfer vibration to the floorboards.
A couple of points to note during the assembly of the acoustic suspension system:
1)The triangular “hole” in the suspension frame points to the front of the speaker (towards the listener).
2)Do not over tighten the shock absorbers that are pre- installed on the cabinet – finger tight is sufficient. A
3)The point of the spike should protrude through the suspension frame only far enough to couple to the floor. If on a concrete or marble floor, for example, 5mm or 1/5” is more than sufficient. If you have your speakers on a 1/2" deep pile carpet, then you will need to have the spike protrude about 3/4" so that the suspension frame clears the carpet.
4)If you need to move the loudspeaker after you have installed the spikes, do not “walk” the speaker cabinet on the spikes – retract the spikes first, shift the speakers, and then lower the
