Plug the XLR end of the SBI into the Control Module and the
banana plug end into the binding posts of your midrange/tweeter
towers (preferred) or the output binding posts of your power amp.
Each end of the SBI has a grounding alligator clip on a flying green
lead. Leave this grounding clip disconnected for the time being. It
is not necessary in most instances.

The alternative method of connecting the servo-bass amplifier to
your system is to use a pair of balanced interconnects (not
supplied) from your preamplifier to the servo-bass amplifier. Your
preamplifier will need to have two sets of outputs, or you will need
to use a high-quality Y-cable (not supplied). If you use this method
of connection, your power amplifier will be driving the midrange/
tweeter towers and the servo-controlled bass amplifier will be
driven in parallel by your preamp.

As no power amplifier is “straight wire with gain”, we do not
recommend this way of driving your servo-bass amplifier. The
reason is that phase coherence and integration between the
midrange and bass is much harder to achieve.

Control Adjustments
Your servo-bass amplifier should be turned on last. As a general
rule, turn your system on starting at the source to the amplifiers,
and turn it off starting at the amplifier. Plug the woofer amplifier into

Do NOT use any power conditioners with the Genesis Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier.
We have found that every power conditioner that we have tried will restrict the dynamics of
the system – except the Titan by IsoTek Systems.
