As a rule, the bass gain and low-pass crossover frequency works in
opposite directions. At a bass gain of 23 and a low-pass frequency of
98Hz, we will have flat frequency response in the recommended room
size of 29ft x 48ft. Smaller rooms will require a lower bass gain to
achieve a flat frequency response at the same low-pass frequency.
Another good rule of thumb is to first set the volume control of the
woofer towers for proper mid-bass rather than low bass. The theory is
that if the mid-bass is correct, then the low bass should be very close
to correct. If the mid-bass is proper and the low bass is still not right,
here are some other suggestions:
In order to achieve what the speaker is capable of, we suggest you
focus your efforts on a proper balance of soundstage elements that
includes information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers;
front to back depth well behind the speaker, excellent focus of
instruments and voices with proper vertical information and mid-bass
fill. A good balance between proper low bass extension and a deep
and spacious soundstage needs to be established to optimize your
speaker's performance.
A Genesis loudspeaker system, correctly set up, can and should
provide a soundstage that goes beyond the confines of the walls of
your listening room, and yet with pinpoint focus; the speakers
disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.
4.6 Room Treatment
No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be
helpful to treat your room. Here are some guidelines:
1. Front walls. The G1.2 loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore
there is sound coming from both the front and the back. How
the front wall is treated or not treated is important. Do not use
either diffusion or absorption on the front wall. The “focus lens”
behind and between speakers used by some room designers
is likely to be detrimental to all Genesis loudspeakers.
Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers prefer a live
front wall. By these terms we mean the amount of reflection of
sound. A typical wall of glass, brick, cement or drywall material
is a highly reflective “live” surface.
A heavily curtained or sound-absorbing wall would be
considered a "dead wall" or a non-reflective wall. A normal thin
