Do not try to use spikes or other third party suspension systems. The
weight of the G1.2 is more than sufficient to anchor them to the floor.
1.2 Placement of the Genesis 1.2 Loudspeaker
The G1.2 requires a large room in order to give the speaker ample
space from the walls so that it can perform at its best.
A typical room size is 29 ft x 48 ft with at least 10 ft ceilings. A good
starting position for the midrange/tweeter panels is 15 feet into the
room as measured from the front wall (the wall behind the speakers
which you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers) to the
face of the speakers.
You will want to sit 18 feet away as measured from the face of the
speakers to the ears. Due to the length of the line-source, a minimum
distance of 12 feet is needed for driver integration. It would be best to
have approximately 15 feet behind
you to the rear wall. In case there is
insufficient space behind the listener,
sound absorbing treatment can be
used to reduce the rear reflection.
Place the column of tweeters on the
inside, and position the midrange/
tweeter panels so that the centers of
the tweeters are about 80 inches
apart. This will mean that the edge of
the midrange/ tweeter wings are 35
inches apart at the closest point.Next,
position the woofer towers just to the
outside of, and behind the mid/tweeter
wings.
Having the woofers diagonally six feet
behind the midrange/tweeters works
well. Placing the woofer towers asymmetric in the room results in a
smoother bass response than if the woofers are symmetric. We
generally like the right woofer tower further outside the right wing, and
the left woofer tower further behind the left wing.
If you have a much more space and a wider room, the woofer towers
can be also be positioned outside the mid/tweeter wings in an arc
such that the center of the woofer cone and the tweeters are
equidistant from the listeners.
