1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Monopole Surround, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, please read this quick set-up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you) before you proceed.

1.1 Unpacking

Your loudspeakers will come to you in a large shipping carton weighing over 43lbs (20kgs). Use correct lifting techniques when moving the speaker carton around or lifting the speaker out of its carton. We will not be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up.

1.2 Placement

If you are hanging the speakers on the wall, you will need a qualified installer to mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh

38.5pounds (17.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on someone! We suggest either brackets that we supply for flat-wall or corner mounting, or your installer may be able to recommend other forms of mounting. Omnimount (www.omnimount.com) also supplies a range of mounts that may be suitable.

1.3 Connections

The speakers should be connected directly to the speaker-level output of your power amplifiers using high quality speaker cables and the 5- way binding posts.

The high-level thru-put binding posts on the speaker are for connecting it to a subwoofer. We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 2/12t as the perfect complement to this speaker. The S2/12t is designed for corner or sidewall loading – making it the ideal companion for a surround loudspeaker.

1.4 Adjustments

The G6.1mp has a tweeter level control on the back. Set the tweeter level to the 12 o’clock position as “flat”.

Once you familiarize yourself with its performance, putting a little bit of additional effort into tuning the speaker properly for your system (which includes the room), will give you greater long-term enjoyment and benefits.
