2.1 Positioning for Center Channel

A good starting position is for the G6.1c to be placed horizontally about 20 inches from the floor, and angled upwards by 3 to 5 degrees. This is assuming that the speaker doesn’t block the screen in this position.

Use a good quality stand that is solidly built and as rigid as possible. The Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 is a unique subwoofer that complements the G6.1c to turn it into a full-range absolute fidelity™ system, and also makes a perfect stand for the G6.1c.

An alternative is to place the speaker horizontally above the television set, and angle it downwards by 3 to 5 degrees. In either case, do not point the speaker directly at the head of the listener, but either over her heads, or at her chest.

As these speakers are dipolar with a rear-firing tweeter, there should be at least 12 inches (30cm) of space between the back of the speaker and the wall. If this space is not available, switch the rear tweeter off with the tweeter defeat switch.

On the home theatre processor, set the speaker to “LARGE” as the 6.1c plays below 60Hz.

2.2 Loudspeaker Controls

2.2.1Tweeter and Midrange Controls

The two knobs at the top of the plate on the back of the speaker tailor the mid- and high-frequency response of the G6.1c. They are subtle controls, but they can make a great difference in gaining that last bit of additional performance in tuning your speakers for the

room in which you are using them. They can turn your system from very good to exceptional, so take the time to work through this process.

The left knob marked TWEETER is a volume control for the front tweeter. Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the tweeters. Use this control if you need a bit more treble, or to increase the apparent space of the soundstage. Too high a tweeter level, and you can feel that voices are too sibilant. With music, crashing cymbals are leaping out at
