3 Setting up as Stereo Pair

3.1 Positioning

Used as a stereo pair, the G6.1c should be placed vertically 18 inches (0.45m) into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers), to the back of the speaker. They should be placed on good, solid speaker stands about 18 to 24 inches (60cm) high.

You will notice that the tweeter and midrange drivers are mounted on a round plate secured with four screws. These screws can be removed, and the plate rotated by 45 degrees so that the tweeter and midrange are at an angle, or rotated by 90 degrees so that the tweeter is above the midrange. If you do rotate the midrange and tweeter, it would still be better to have the rear tweeters closest to one another.

Start with the speakers five feet (1.5m) apart with the tweeters (both front and rear) placed closest together, and angled in (toed-in) towards the listener by about 5 degrees. You will want to sit 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 metres) away from the speakers (if you have the space). We will experiment with moving the speakers around later.

As these speakers are dipolar in the high frequencies, they are pretty room-friendly and you are free to move the speakers closer to, or further away from the front and side walls. We do recommend, however, that you give the speakers a little bit of breathing space behind them, so don’t push them up tight against the wall.

If you have the speakers too close to the front wall, you will find that the image depth is not as good - the soundstage becomes a little two- dimensional. If you have the space to move the speakers away from the wall, do so. You will be rewarded with the deep, broad soundstage that this loudspeaker is capable of. You should be able to “see” the soundstage behind, as well as in front of, the loudspeakers. The sound stage will also extend outside the left and right sides of the speakers.

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

G6.1c specifications

Genesis Advanced Technologies has long been recognized as a pioneer in the realm of high-performance audio equipment, and their G6.1c loudspeaker is a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence. The G6.1c is a hybrid electrostatic speaker, combining the transparency and detail of electrostatic technology with the dynamics and efficiency of traditional dynamic drivers. This integration allows for a listening experience that is both immersive and accurate.

One of the standout features of the G6.1c is its ability to reproduce sound with remarkable clarity and precision. The electrostatic panel is designed to deliver an extended frequency response, reaching both the high and low ends of the audio spectrum. This enables listeners to experience music as it was intended by the artists, capturing the nuances and subtleties that can often be lost with conventional speakers.

The G6.1c also incorporates advanced technology in its design, including a custom-designed high-frequency transducer, which ensures consistent performance across various listening conditions. Coupled with a robust dynamic mid-bass driver, the speaker achieves a well-balanced sound that is both rich and engaging. Each component is meticulously engineered to work harmoniously, providing an open, airy soundstage that enhances the overall audio experience.

Another notable characteristic of the G6.1c is its elegant aesthetic. The speaker's elegant curves and sleek finish not only appeal visually but also contribute to its acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted resonance. The integration of premium materials in construction ensures durability and longevity, making the G6.1c a worthy investment for audiophiles.

Furthermore, the speaker's efficient design allows it to excel in a variety of listening environments, whether in a dedicated audio room or a casual living space. With its high sensitivity rating, the G6.1c can be driven effectively by a range of amplification options, making it versatile for different users and setups.

In summary, the Genesis Advanced Technologies G6.1c loudspeaker stands out for its innovative combination of electrostatic and dynamic technologies, providing an exceptional listening experience. Its advanced features, exquisite craftsmanship, and adaptability make it a benchmark in high-fidelity audio, catering to audiophiles who demand the finest sound quality in their audio systems. Whether listening to classical symphonies or modern rock, the G6.1c delivers an experience that is both captivating and true to the original recording.
