A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by placing the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to back depth can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall.

Further, as the system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the soundspace will increase and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.

Tuning into the room

There are no absolute rules concerning the speaker/room coupling, so do not be afraid to experiment with speaker placement for best results. You should also experiment with asymmetric positioning in the room. Do not have your speakers the same distance from the side walls – try putting them closer to the left or the right wall. If the speakers are equidistance from side and front wall, you may find a suck-out at 100Hz to 300Hz.

In some problematic rooms a resonance may develop at one or two frequencies that is unnatural to the music. By moving the speakers closer to the front/side wall or farther from the front/side wall, the resonance may be reduced at the listener’s position.

Ultimately, it is all about balance. You have a number of controls at hand with which to adjust the bass response, the low-pass filter frequency and woofer volume. You can also move the speakers closer together (for better speaker to speaker coupling), or further apart.

Home Theater and Multi-Channel Music

While the Genesis 5.2 was designed with the audiophile in mind, its performance and features make it ideal for Home Theater as well. The G5.2 is truly a full frequency loudspeaker that satisfies the requirement for Dolby Digitaland DTScinema reproduction. However the combination of the low frequency capability and a unique set of controls and connections on the G5.2 provide Home Theater users benefits beyond other loudspeakers on the market.

In essence, the G5.2 has a servo-controlled subwoofer already included in each speaker. This capability allows the G5.2 to provide the ability to reproduce the low frequency effects (LFE) signal available on all modern movie decoders. An additional benefit of using this feature is that the LFE will come from two, or more, locations in your room versus using a single subwoofer for LFE. Utilizing this capability dramatically reduces room bass mode and
