1 Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 1.2 loudspeaker system, we
realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, this
is a big, complex system. There is no “quick” set-up.
You will need at least four strong people. Be prepared to allocate 4 to
6 hours to the initial unpacking, set-up and configuration. Mentally
condition yourself for hard, manual work that must also be done
carefully and precisely so as not to hurt your precious new acquisition
and to not hurt your backs.
1.1 Unpacking
The G1.2 system is packed in six (6) wooden shipping crates:
• two crates containing a woofer tower each,
• two crates each containing two wings per crate and a Corian
panel holding the midrange ribbon and tweeters,
• a crate with the two midrange/tweeter wing bases and the two
woofer tower bases, and
• finally a crate with all the electronics and cables.
To remove the contents of all the crates, you will need at least four
strong people – the Genesis 1.2 loudspeaker system weighs over
2,000lbs – to move the various parts of the speakers around. We
cannot be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs
during unpacking and setting up.
First, determine where you will be placing the speakers. They are
extremely heavy, so some forward planning will come in handy.
Depending on the surface they are set on, you may find that the
speakers are almost impossible to shift after setting up. Please see
the next section on placement and carefully mark the places where
you will set up the four columns, and unpack the bases and get them
in place first.
Next, place the woofer towers on their bases. The midrange/tweeter
wings are set up by first inserting the center Corian panel into the
foundation. The two wood wings are placed on either side, and
secured to the center panel with the supplied screws.
