Genesis Standard Surround Loudspeaker Owners Manual Ver 1.0 2 ~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáí ó A Message from Genesis Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest loudspeakers in the world. Based on technologies developed for our flagship Genesis 1.1, the Genesis Standard Surround Loudspeaker is designed for those of us who live in beautiful homes and want an elegant loudspeaker that will deliver the best sound in its class. The Genesis Standard Surround 1 (or SR1) is used as surround or rear speakers in a home theater set-up, or in an audiophile multi- channel music system. It is voiced to be mounted high above the ear-level on the wall, recessed into a wall, or in the corners of a room. In a small room, or where space is tight, four can be used in the four corners of a room to deliver an excellent surround system with the addition of the Genesis Standard Center Loudspeaker. As part of the Genesis family of loudspeakers, it has an identical tweeter, midrange, and mid-bass coupler drivers, and a similar voice to the rest of the family. Being a Genesis absolute fidelity™ product, it is a perfect complement to any other Genesis model. Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make the SR1 cabinet rigid and well-damped. All construction and even internal braces are made of 15mm MDF to ensure that the cabinet is the best environment on which to mount the transducers. This results in extremely low cabinet coloration, and excellent sound- staging and imaging. (Yes, the sound-stage is important even for rear speakers!) Please read this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to get the maximum enjoyment out of your purchase. Also, check out our website at www.genesisloudspeakers.com for the latest updates, tips & tricks and support for our owners.

Genesis Standard Surround Loudspeaker Owners Manual Ver 1.0 3 ~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáí ó 1 Set-up Guide Now that you have your new Genesis Standard Surround 1 loudspeaker, we realize that you cant wait to hook it up and start playing! However, please read this quick set-up guide (even if your dealer is setting it up for you) before you proceed. 1.1 Unpacking Your loudspeakers will come to you in a large shipping carton weighing over 43lbs (20kgs). Use correct lifting techniques when moving the speaker carton around or lifting the speaker out of its carton. We will not be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during unpacking and setting up. 1.2 Placement The speakers should be hung high on the side-wall, in corners, or even mounted in the wall with the nose protruding. You will need a qualified installer to mount them on strong brackets. The speaker weighs 38.5 pounds (17.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on someone! As the typical surround loudspeaker, they are voiced to be used firing over the heads of the audience. A good starting position is for the SR1 to be placed horizontally about 72 inches from the floor and approximately 10 degrees behind the listener, and at the same distance from the listener as the main Left/Center/Right speakers. The SR1 should be hung on extremely strong brackets on the wall, or installed onto the wall by a competent installer. They can also be installed in the rear corners of the room, where they can do double duty as rear and side surround loudspeakers. The SR1 are designed to be augmented by a subwoofer, and for this purpose they have two pairs of binding posts. The pair labelled THRU is wired in parallel with the inputs #, and are used to jump to a Genesis ServoSub™. If a ServoSub is hooked up in this way, set the speaker to LARGE on the home theatre processor. If a subwoofer is not used, set the speaker to SMALL. # These are NOT to be used for bi-wiring or bi-amping.
