G201 Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 201 loudspeaker system, we 
realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start playing! However, 
this is a big, complex system and we want you to set it up correctly 
and safely. So, please read this quick set up guide (even if your 
dealer is setting it up for you!) before you proceed. 
Unpacking
The Genesis 201 system will arrive in 5 pieces. There are four 
wooden crates, two containing the woofer towers, two holding 
midrange/tweeter panels, and one cardboard amplifier box. 
To remove the contents of all the crates, you will need help. The 
G201 loudspeaker system with crates weigh a total of 1,400 lbs, so 
we suggest a minimum of three strong people to move the 
speakers around. We will not be held liable for damage (to either 
the speakers or your backs!) during unpacking and setting up. 
Each woofer tower weighs over 210 lbs, and each 
tweeter tower weighs over 140 lbs! 
Start with the woofer crates. These are the taller, 
skinnier crates. Remove the screws from the top 
piece and open them up. Take the woofer towers 
out of the shipping crates by setting the crates on 
their sides and sliding the towers out onto a 
carpeted surface. Remove the packing material, 
and set them standing up in your room. Look inside 
the crates and take out the box containing cables. 
Next, remove the midrange tweeter sections from
the shorter, fatter crates. Unscrew only the bottom row of screws. 
Do not remove any other screws except the ones going along the 
outside bottom perimeter of the crate. 
Lift off the entire top part of the shipping crate and set this aside. 
You can then tilt the mid/tweeter sections off the crate, and remove 
the bottom. 
Remove the woofer amplifier and remote control from the box. 
There will be two sets of servo-bass cables and two sets of servo-
amp interconnects, and you now have all the pieces that make up 
the Genesis 201 loudspeaker system.
