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
