1.3 Connections

The speakers should be connected directly to the speaker-level output
of your power amplifiers using high quality speaker cables and the 5-
way binding posts.

The high-level thru-put binding posts are for connecting to a subwoofer.
We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 as the perfect
complement to this speaker. The correct cable for connecting a
loudspeaker to a ServoSub is an interconnect cable, and not a
loudspeaker cable.

The ServoSub has a high-impedance input, and the speaker and power
amplifier has a low-impedance output. A computer-networking CAT6
cable can be used as this “jumper” if a good interconnect cable is not
available.

1.4 Adjustments

Don’t be too worried by the knob and switches on the back of the G7.1c.
Set knob (tweeter level) to the 12 o’clock position, and the stand-
alone/with-sub switch depending on whether you have a ServoSub™
connected.

If you have at least 12 inches (30cm) of space between the back of
the speaker and the rear wall, the rear tweeter should be left ON.
Otherwise, turn the rear tweeter off with the tweeter defeat switch on
the back panel.

That is a good place to start. The G7.1c will sound great, straight out of
the box. As you play your system for the next hundred hours or so, the
speaker will settle down and break in.

Once you familiarize yourself with its performance, putting a little bit of
additional effort into tuning the speaker properly for your system (which
includes the room), will give you greater long-term enjoyment and
benefits.
