1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Center Channel, we realize
that you can’t 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 70lbs (32kgs). We suggest that two strong people move the
speaker carton around and to lift the speaker out of its carton. Even
then, use correct lifting techniques.
We will
not
be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your
backs during unpacking and setting up.
1.2 Placement
Used as a center channel, the G6.1c can be placed below or above
your screen. If you have a perforated, sonically transparent projector
screen, you may place it behind the screen. In all cases, do not point
the tweeter directly at the ears of the listeners. Angle the speaker so
that the tweeter points 12 inches (30cm) below the ears or over the
top of the head.
As a stereo pair of speakers, a good starting position for your G6.1c
is about 18 inches (46cm) into the room as measured from the front wall
(the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers) to the
back of the speakers. Place the speakers vertically on a stand that is at
least 24 inches high, and about five feet (1.5 metres) apart with the
tweeters closest together. Toe the speakers in slightly towards the
listeners – by about 5 to 10 degrees – no more.
You will want to sit nine to twelve feet (three to four metres) away from
the speakers. When sitting further away, you should place the speakers
further apart.
If you are using the G6.1c as monopole surround or rear speakers, and
you are hanging them on the wall, you will need a qualified installer to
mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh over 69
pounds (31.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on
someone!
