A Quick Start Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 928 subwoofer, we realize that
you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! Nevertheless, please
read this quick start guide NOW before you start setting it up.
Safety Tips
The G928 is a powered subwoofer with a built-in amplifier: it needs to
be connected to a power socket that is always on. Make sure that you
are using the correct voltage, and keep it away from water and direct
heat.
Connections
There are two common options for hooking-up
the G928 to your existing system. For
dedicated music systems, connect the high-
level speaker binding posts on the G928 to the
amplifier speaker outputs, or connect it to the
nearest loudspeaker, using a short run of
loudspeaker cable.
For audio/video systems in home theater
applications, connect the subwoofer to your
home theater processor’s subwoofer/ LFE
output using the LFE input.
Our unique LFE Blend™ technology allows
you to do both. Using the high-level speaker
inputs to augment the bass of your satellite
speakers, as well as use the LFE Input to
blend the two signals together for better bass management of your
listening room. This way, your G928 can be used BOTH for your
dedicated music system as well as your home theater system.
If you are lucky enough to have more than one G928, the LFE out can
be used to daisy-chain the subwoofers together to better control the
bass modes in your listening room. This makes bass management
easier, and reduces the chance of having boomy, inarticulate bass.
Placement of the Subwoofer
One of the most common reasons to buy a subwoofer is to augment
your existing loudspeakers when they are not giving you enough bass.
