for The Genesis 800
Subwoofer System
Description
The Genesis 800 servo subwoofer system consists of six pieces. There are two woofer
enclosures, one servo amplifier. two woofer connecting cables and a a hand held
remote control unit.
The servo amplifier is an 300 watt remote control two channel amplifier. Each of the
woofer enclosures houses two 12 inch metal cone woofers.
Posltlonlng
Set the Genesis 800 subwoofers where it is convenient. Set the 800's as close as
practical to your main loudspeakers. The 800's are typically placed behind the main
speakers in a music application. The same is true for video applications but it may not
be as practical to do this.
It is important to note that sound comes out of both the front and the back of the
loudspeaker. Therefore, do not place the rear of the woofer too close to a wall. We
suggest you keep the rear of the 800 at least six to twelve inches from any wall.
Connect the woofer ampllfler.
The Genesis 800 servo woofer system amplifier was intended to be placed near your
audio video electronics and the woofers placed further away and connected through the
supplied 30 foot cables. There are a set of large cables used to connect the woofers to
the servo subwoofer amplifier. Each and of the cable is clearly marked, "amplifier" or
"speaker". Connect these to the appropriate and of your Genesis subwoofer amplifier.
and the rear of the Genesis 800 (the connector is located in the lower right hand comer
as you face the rear of the Genesis 800).

One note: When you connect the subwooter outputs pay close attention to the
way our connector works. The connector Is called a Neutrlk, It only goes In one
way. You cannot put It In wrong. However, you can tell to put It In all the way.
When you look at the plug, one side has wrltlng on It and an arrow. This Is the
right dlrectlon. Push the plug In, and twlst It clockwlse, and then turn the locking
rlng or walt tor the finger lock to "cllc " In place (dependlng on the type at
connector supplled with your system) to keep It there. By looklng carefully, It
wlIl be obvlous to you how It works.
Connect the input of the woofer amplifier to the output of your preamplifier. Choose
either balanced or unbalanced for inputs. If your preamplifier has only one set of
balanced outputs and one set of unbalanced (RCA) type outputs. choose your first
preference of connection for the amplifier that is driving your main speaker. Use the
remaining set of outputs to teed the subwooler amplifier.
If your preamplifer does not have two outputs. use a 'Y" connector to split the signal.
The Genesis ervo subwoofer amplifier presents a high impedance very easy load to
your preamplifier and can easily be used with the 'Y" connector with no degredation to
your main signal.
At this point, you can turn on the woofer amplifier. Using the remote control, turn on
the subwooler amplifier. Adjust the phase to 40 with the button marked phase" on the
remote control. Next, adjust the low pass filter (how high the woofer goes). Set this to
85 using the button marked "low pass" (on the remote control). Use the button marked
"volume" to adjust to 20 to start with. The volume will always flash to identity itself.
Make sure the woofers all work by playing some music. It, for some reason. one of the
woofers does not work - check the plug of the Neutrik connector. Making sure they are
connected properly usually solves any problems.
Making your muslc or video system sound correct
The Genesis 800 subwoofer system is perfect for both music and video. The setup for
either is very similar and the goals should be quite the same too. In our opinion. the
end goal of adding a high end subwooter should be to not 'hear" the subwooter work,
but rather to add the appropriate amount of low end that is currently missing in your
system.
With music. the full trequency range of the orchestra should be reproduced with proper
dynamic range and realism, from the lowest notes of a pipe organ to the whack of the
timpani.
With video. the same goals should be sought after so the results are both realistic and
exciting as the roar of jet planes rumble through your livingroom and prehistoric
creatures shake the earth.
