Tuning the system
Two channel stereo music is the best way to begin your setup
procedure. We suggest that multi-channel and video sources be
used only after you have setup the system to properly reproduce
music. The room in which the G5 is placed would probably be the
greatest influence on the sound of the loudspeaker.

Since we do not live in anechoic chambers, at Genesis, we do not
design our loudspeakers to work perfectly in a perfectly damped
room. The amount of hard/soft and absorbent/reflecting surfaces will
affect the sound of the speakers tremendously.

A room with solid concrete or brick walls, floors and ceiling will have
much more bass than if the walls were made of plasterboard, with a
suspended floor and false ceiling. An over-stuffed leather sofa will
absorb different frequencies to different extents from a light fabric-
covered armchair. So, you may even find that you will want to re-
tune your system when you change the furnishings in the room.

We suggest that you start your tuning with a single vocal with simple
instrumental accompaniment because the sound of the human voice
is more easily recognizable than many instruments and is the least
complex sound to deal with. A male voice, or a low female voice is
the easiest to start working with.

Adjusting the Bass Gain
Leave the low pass filter alone for the moment, as it should remain
set at approximately 90 Hz. This control will be addressed later.
set at approximately 90 Hz. This control will be addressed later.
Turn the gain control of the woofer amplifier up or down until the
voice sounds correct. Whatever controls you use, turn them up and
down only a little at a time. It is easy to turn it up or down too much.
However, the 12 o’clock position is only the starting point. Different
room construction and size will greatly influence the setting of the
bass gain.

If your room has “lossy” walls instead of solid brick or concrete walls,
you may find that the bass settings may need to be higher. If you
have a sealed room with no bass loss, the bass gain may be set as
low as 2 or 3.

bass in your recording) to achieve a natural blend. The voice and the
