Connecting only one subwoofer

If your preamplifier has only one set of balanced outputs and one set of unbalanced (RCA) type outputs, choose your first preference of connection for the amplifier that is driving your main speaker. Use the remaining set of outputs to feed the subwoofer amplifier.

Connecting only one subwoofer

If you are using only one subwoofer, connect both the left and the right low level or high level inputs into the one Genesis 928 subwoofer. The Genesis 928 will automatically create the appropriate mono signal.

Making your system sound right

The Genesis 928 subwoofer system is perfect for both music and video. The setup for either is very similar and the goals should be quite the same too. In our opinion, the end goal of adding a high end subwoofer should be to not “hear” the subwoofer work (in a music system), but rather to add the appropriate amount of low end that is currently missing in your system.

With music, the full frequency range of the orchestra or rock band should be reproduced with proper dynamic range and realism, from the lowest notes of a pipe organ to the whack of the timpani or the pluck of the lowest string on a Fender bass. With video, the same goals should be sought after so the results are both realistic and exciting as the roar of jet planes rumble through your living room and prehistoric creatures shake the earth.

With proper setup and placement, you can achieve stunning realism, and musically correct and natural bass.

The Controls

The G928 subwoofer has two controls that you will be using for making your system (and that includes the room) sound right. The first is the gain control of the woofer amplifier. This adjusts the volume at which the subwoofer plays. The gain can be adjusted from 1 to 11.

The second control is the low pass filters. This adjusts the crossover frequency for the built-in 12dB per octave variable crossover. The

crossover frequency can be adjusted from 40Hz to 138Hz, where frequencies below the number set are sent to the subwoofer, and frequencies above are rejected.
