Midrange/Tweeter
Controls
You will notice two controls on
the back of the midrange/
tweeter panel. The left hand
knob is a trim control for the
rear tweeters. Turning this
control clockwise will increase
the level of the rear tweeters.
If there is not enough space
behind your loudspeaker, the
rear tweeter control can be
turned down. In large rooms,
the tweeter control can be turned up. Use this control if you need a
bit more treble or to increase the apparent space of the
soundstage. Start with this control at the twelve o'clock position.
The control on the right side is a three-position switch used to
adjust the midrange. Start at position two. Position one will sound
fuller in the lower midrange while position three will sound leaner
and have more upper midrange.
The less obvious effect (more obvious to some people!!) of the
midrange control is to make the soundstage sound more forward,
and change the perceived height and position of the performance.
Relative to position two, you can raise the soundstage by moving to
position three (it’s like moving your seat forwards in the concert
hall!!)
Position two gives you a soundstage perspective of about the
middle of the concert hall. Position three is more like the orchestra
seats, and position one may be more like the circle seats.
While it is relatively easy to put the Genesis 2 loudspeaker system
into your room and system and get a reasonable sound, it is not as
easy to perfectly integrate the loudspeakers into your room, and
get great music out of it. The time you will take to do this properly
will be well worth it for the long-term enjoyment you will derive. This
fine-tuning is covered later in this manual.
