Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 4 loudspeakers, we realize
that you can’t wait to hook it up and start the music! However, we
want you to set it up correctly to derive the greatest enjoyment from
your purchase.
So, please read this set up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up
for you!) before you proceed.
Planning the Placement
Although the G4 is designed for ease of placement foremost, there
should still be some considerations to be made. You will not need
a very large room, but at a minimum the room should be at least 12
feet (4m) wide where the speakers will be placed.
You should have at least 4 inches (10cm) of space behind the
speakers and at least 8 inches (20cm) on either side of the
speaker. The listening position should be a minimum of 9 feet
(about 3m) from the front of the speaker to allow for proper
integration of the drivers.
In a typical placement, the two speakers will be about seven feet to
nine feet (2m to 2.7m) apart measured from center to center. The
speakers fire straight ahead with no toe-in.
As the room will greatly influence the sound of your system, fine-
tuning adjustments will be necessary. Every room will be different,
with doorways, furniture, closets, wall construction and covering,
etc. all making a significant impact on the sound. Luckily, the G4
provides sufficient adjustability to conform to almost any acoustic
environment!
Unpacking and Positioning
The Genesis 4 loudspeakerwill arrive in a two large wooden
shipping crates. As the speaker weighs over 100 lbs each (more
with the shipping crates), we suggest that you get some help. We
are not liable for damage (to either the speakers or your backs!)
during unpacking and setting up.
The speaker ships standing up and slides out of the crate. So, we
suggest that you position the crates approximately at the final
position where you want the loudspeaker to be. The front and top
