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 1-inch of solid cast acrylic, a set of Neoprene decoupling shock absorbers, and a set of steel spikes.

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 hex-key (or allen wrench) is supplied to tighten the bolts holding the suspension frame to the shock absorbers. Again, do not over tighten these bolts.

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
