A Message from Genesis
Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest
loudspeakers in the world. Based on technologies developed for
our flagship Genesis 1.1, the Genesis Standard Surround
Loudspeaker is designed for those of us who live in beautiful
homes and want an elegant loudspeaker that will deliver the best
sound in its class.
The Genesis Standard Surround 1 (or SR1) is used as surround or
rear speakers in a home theater set-up, or in an audiophile multichannel music system. It is voiced to be mounted high above the
ear-level on the wall, recessed into a wall, or in the corners of a
room. In a small room, or where space is tight, four can be used in
the four corners of a room to deliver an excellent surround system
with the addition of the Genesis Standard Center Loudspeaker.
As part of the Genesis family of loudspeakers, it has an identical
tweeter, midrange, and mid-bass coupler drivers, and a similar
voice to the rest of the family. Being a Genesis absolute fidelity™
product, it is a perfect complement to any other Genesis model.
Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make
the SR1 cabinet rigid and well-damped. All construction and even
internal braces are made of 15mm MDF to ensure that the cabinet
is the best environment on which to mount the transducers. This
results in extremely low cabinet coloration, and excellent soundstaging and imaging. (Yes, the sound-stage is important even for
rear speakers!)
Please read this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to get the
maximum enjoyment out of your purchase. Also, check out our
website at www.genesisloudspeakers.com

1 Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis Standard Surround 1
loudspeaker, we realize that you can’t wait to hook it up and start
playing! However, please read this quick set-up guide (even if your
dealer is setting it up for you) before you proceed.
1.1 Unpacking
Your loudspeakers will come to you in a large shipping carton weighing
over 43lbs (20kgs). Use correct lifting techniques when moving the
speaker carton around or lifting the speaker out of its carton. We will not
be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your backs during
unpacking and setting up.
1.2 Placement
The speakers should be hung high on the side-wall, in corners, or even
mounted in the wall with the “nose” protruding. You will need a qualified
installer to mount them on strong brackets. The speaker weighs 38.5
pounds (17.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on
someone! As the typical surround loudspeaker, they are voiced to be
used firing over the heads of the audience.
A good starting position is for the SR1 to be placed horizontally about
72 inches from the floor and approximately 10 degrees behind the
listener, and at the same distance from the listener as the main
Left/Center/Right speakers.
The SR1 should be hung on extremely strong brackets on the wall, or
installed onto the wall by a competent installer. They can also be
installed in the rear corners of the room, where they can do double duty
as rear and side surround loudspeakers.
The SR1 are designed to be augmented by a subwoofer, and for this
purpose they have two pairs of binding posts. The pair labelled “THRU”
is wired in parallel with the inputs#, and are used to ‘jump’ to a Genesis
ServoSub™. If a ServoSub is hooked up in this way, set the speaker to
“LARGE” on the home theatre processor. If a subwoofer is not used, set
the speaker to “SMALL”.

These are NOT to be used for bi-wiring or bi-amping.
