speakers as well as deliver the LFE channel without resorting to digital
bass management on the processor.
On the home theatre processor, set the front speakers to “LARGE” and
sub-woofer to “YES”. Then, take the sub-woofer line-level output from
the processor, and plug it into the “LFE IN” connector on the G928.
Connect the subwoofer to the front two speakers.
LFE Gain
The G928 has a knob that controls LFE G AIN separately from the B ASS
G
AIN
. This allows you to have the G928’s plugged both into your
audiophile stereo system as well as your home theatre system at the
same time without conflicts. The usual way to control the level of the
LFE output is to set the LFE gain to 6 – the twelve o’clock position –
and then use the home theatre processors level control to dial in the
level. However, having the LFE gain control allows you to tune the LFE
if your two systems have completely different gain structure.
LFE Output
Along with the LFE input, the G928 has a unique capability of LFE
output. This buffered output can be used to daisy-chain the LFE signal
to other LFE inputs including other G928’s.
Thus, it is possible to channel the LFE signal from your home theatre
processor to one G928, and then from that to another, and to another,
and to another!
In the case of LFE, more sources (not higher level) is better than less.
In this way, LFE can be distributed around the room, dramatically
reducing room modes and increasing the system capability.
Distributing the bass is also helpful for reproduction of multi-channel
music because you get incredible articulation and detail in the bass all
around the room.
Connecting up your G928
After initially positioning your subwoofer, plug in the power, and
connect it to your preamplifier, or power amplifier.
Power
Make sure the Genesis 928 is plugged into a wall outlet that is always
on. If you have an un-switched outlet, plug the G928 into this. The
G928 has an auto-on feature and will automatically power up from
“stand-by” when it detects a signal, and switches itself off after about
10 minutes of idle.
