of the crate form a lid that is removed and then the speaker can be
easily pulled out.
After unpacking, we strongly suggest that the crates be dismantled,
flattened and safely stored away in a cool, dry place. It is expensive
to custom build crates strong enough to transport these
loudspeakers without damage should you need to relocate.
The G4s incorporate an “acoustic suspension” that is designed to
ensure that they will work regardless of the type of surface they are
placed on. The speakers are de-coupled from the HMWA
suspension frame, and the suspension frame is coupled to the floor
using adjustable spikes. The system works best when the spikes
barely emerge from the bottom of the suspension frame.
If the speaker is placed on a hardwood floor, a copper penny may
be used under the spike to protect the finish of the floor. Do not use
large, solid “spike cups” as these will not allow the spike to properly
couple the suspension frame to the floor.
If a very thick carpet covers the floor, then the longer spike should
be used.
Loudspeaker Connections
Once you have the G4s close to where you think they will ultimately
be, connect the loudspeaker to your power amplifier using a pair of
high quality loudspeaker cables (not supplied) to the 5-way binding
posts. We have designed a “Loudspeaker Interface Cable”
specifically for Genesis loudspeakers for this critical job. More
information can be found from the Genesis website or from your
dealer. However, any well-designed loudspeaker cable can be
used.
A power cord is also needed to power the built-in servo-bass
amplifier. A “starter cord” is provided with the loudspeaker, however
the bass will improve with a higher-quality power cord. As the G4s
contains a 500W Class D amplifier module per side, make sure
that any power cord you use is up to this job. An “Amplifier Power
Interface Cable” is also available from Genesis for this.
Before you plug in the power cord, make sure that the voltage
switch is correctly set for your country.
