Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 2 loudspeaker system, we
realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start the music!
However, this is a big, complex system and we want you to set it
up correctly and more importantly, safely. So, please read this set
up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you!) before you
proceed.
Planning the Placement
Before you even have the loudspeakers delivered, it would be a
good idea to make a plan of where you will place them. You will
not need a huge room, but at an absolute minimum the room
needs to be 16 feet (5m) wide where the speakers will be placed.
You should have a minimum of at least 6 feet (2m) of space behind
the speakers. The listening position should be a minimum of 10
feet (3m) from the front of the midrange ribbon to allow for proper
integration of the drivers.
In a typical placement, the midrange/tweeter wings will be placed so
that the two columns of tweeters are on the inside, and between six
feet to eight feet (2m to 2.6m) apart. The woofer towers are placed
behind and outside the wings with the column of woofers about 4 feet
