A Message from Genesis
Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest
loudspeakers in the world. The Genesis 7.1 Petite (G7.1p) features
the worlds first solid titanium cone mid-woofer, and shares
technologies developed for our flagship Genesis 1.1.
The G7.1p is designed to be as flexible as possible. It can be used
as a pair of audiophile stereo loudspeakers or, in a multi-channel
system, can also be used as main left/right speakers, or as
surround or rear channels.
So that it will fit into the décor of any home, the cabinet design is a
combination of acoustic, furniture, interior design and architectural
principles. Care was taken in the selection of fine furniture-quality
natural wood veneer finishes, and high-gloss Italian or automotive
finish.
Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make
the G7.1p cabinet rigid and well damped. All construction is of ¾
inch MDF and panels have been tongue and grooved to ensure
that the cabinet is the best environment on which to mount the
transducers. This results in extremely low cabinet coloration, and
excellent soundstaging and imaging. The proportions are also
designed to be visually pleasing and elegant.
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.
Please write the serial number and purchase details of your Genesis 7.1c
here for future reference.
