absolute fidelity
2 Setting up: Multi-channel
2.1 Positioning for Center Channel
A good starting position is for the G7.1c to be placed horizontally about
20 inches from the floor, and angled upwards by 3 to 5 degrees. This is
assuming that the speaker doesn’t block the screen in this position.
Use a good quality stand that is solidly built and as rigid as possible. The
Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 is a unique subwoofer that complements the
G6.1c to turn it into a full-range absolute fidelity™ system, and also
makes a perfect stand for the G7.1c.
An alternative is to place the speaker horizontally above the television
set, and angle it downwards by 3 to 5 degrees. In either case, do not
point the speaker directly at the head of the listener, but either over her
head, or at her chest.
As these speakers are dipolar with a rear-firing tweeter, there should be
at least 12 inches (30cm) of space between the back of the speaker and
the wall. If this space is not available, turn the rear tweeter off with the
tweeter defeat switch.
On the home theatre processor, set the speaker to LARGE” as the
G7.1c plays below 60Hz.
2.2 Loudspeaker Controls
2.2.1 Tweeter Control
The knob marked T
WEETER
on the plate on the back of the speaker is
used to tailor the high-frequency response of the G7.1c. It is a subtle
control, but can make a great difference in gaining that last bit of
additional performance from your speakers.
Turning this control clockwise will increase the level of the tweeters. Use
this control if you need a bit more treble, or to increase the apparent
space of the soundstage. Too high a tweeter level, and you can feel that
voices are too sibilant. With music, crashing cymbals are leaping out at
you, and nylon stringed guitars sound steely. Start with this control at the
12 o'clock position. There is about a ± 1dB range for this control.
2.2.2 Tweeter Defeat
The G7.1c should be placed at least 12 inches (30cm) away from the
wall behind the speaker. If this is not possible, turn the rear-firing tweeter
off to configure your loudspeaker as a monopole. This is perfectly
acceptable and will not compromise the performance for multi-channel
surround movies.
