1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide

Now that you have your new Genesis 7.1 Convertible (G7.1c), 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 two shipping cartons weighing over 35lbs (16kgs) each. Care must be taken when moving the carton around, and taking the speaker out of the box. While the speaker is small, it is also slippery and heavy. Use correct lifting techniques utilizing the muscles in your legs, and not just your back.

We will not be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up. Be careful as you may inadvertently damage the drivers if the cabinet slips and you grab at it and put a finger into the woofers. Do not try to lift the cabinet by the shield (it is not a handle!) or by grabbing the woofers as handles.

1.2 Placement

As a stereo pair of speakers, a good starting position for your G7.1c is at least 18 inches (45cm) 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 speakers. Place the speakers vertically on a stand that is at least 18 inches high, and about five feet (1.5 metres) apart with the tweeters closest together. Toe the speakers in very slightly towards the listeners – by about 3 to 10 degrees – no more.

Used as a center channel, the G7.1c can be placed below or above your screen. If you have a perforated, sonically transparent projector screen, you may place it behind the screen. In all cases, do not point the tweeter directly at the ears of the listeners. Angle the speaker so that the tweeter points 12 inches (30cm) below the ears or over the top of the head.

You will want to sit nine to twelve feet (three to four metres) away from the speakers. When sitting further away, you should place the speakers further apart. When sitting nearer the speakers, move the speakers closer together.

If you are using the G7.1c as surround or rear speakers, and you are hanging them on the wall, you will need a qualified installer to mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh over 30 pounds
