A Message from Genesis 

Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest 
loudspeaker systems in the world. Based on technologies 
developed for our flagship Genesis 1 and the award-wining 
Genesis 6.1, the Genesis 6.1e is designed for those of us who live 
in beautiful homes and still want an elegant loudspeaker that will 
deliver the best sound in its class.  
 
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. Subtle angles and complex curves are used to create an 
optical illusion that makes the G6.1e look smaller and slimmer than 
it actually is. The veneers are also carefully chosen to reflect and 
enhance these curves and angles. 
 
Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make 
the G6.1e cabinet rigid and well-damped, with no detrimental 
vibrations. All construction and even internal braces have been 
“tongue and grooved” to ensure that the cabinet is the best 
environment on which to mount the transducers. This results in an 
absence of cabinet coloration, and excellent sound-staging and 
imaging. 
 
Mated with a matching Genesis ServoSum™, the G6.1e will deliver 
the full frequency response of 16Hz to 36kHz. Thus delivering the 
vital infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies to deliver the emotive 
content of music. 
 
The Genesis 6-Series Cinema System can optionally include a full 
complement of matching surround speakers, center channel, and 
additional bass modules. Hence the G6.1e is equally at home in an 
audiophile two-channel music-only system and as a key component 
in a home theater/multi-channel music environment. 
 
Please read this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to get the 
maximum enjoyment out of your purchase. Also, check out our

tips and tricks, and support for our owners.
