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, the Genesis 6.1 Center Channel (G6.1c) 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.
While the G6.1c is designed as a center channel speaker in a multi-
channel music or home theater system, it is also designed to be as
flexible as possible. It can be used as a pair of audiophile stereo
loudspeakers or, in a multi-channel system, can also be used as
main left/right speakers, monopole surround or monopole rear
channels.
So that it will fit into the décor of any home, the cabinet design is a
combination of acoustic, furniture, interior design and architectural
principles. It is a perfect match for the elegant and beautiful
Genesis 6.1 Loudspeaker system with the same look and driver
complement (except for the bass drivers). Being a Genesis
absolute fidelity™ product, it is also a perfect complement to any
other Genesis model, all the way up to the Genesis 1.1.
Sound structural engineering principles have been applied to make
the G6.1c cabinet rigid and well damped. All construction and even
internal braces are made of 1-inch MDF and have been “tongue
and grooved” 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.
Please read this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide to get the
maximum enjoyment out of your purchase. Also, check out our
tips & tricks and support for our owners.
Please write the serial number and purchase details of your Genesis 6.1c
here for future reference.

1 A Quick Start Set-up Guide
Now that you have your new Genesis 6.1 Center Channel, 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 70lbs (32kgs). We suggest that two strong people move the
speaker carton around and to lift the speaker out of its carton. Even
then, use correct lifting techniques.
We will not be held liable for damage to either the speakers or your
backs during unpacking and setting up.
1.2 Placement
Used as a center channel, the G6.1c can be placed below or above
your screen. If you have a perforated, sonically transparent projector
screen, you may place it behind the screen. In all cases, do not point
the tweeter directly at the ears of the listeners. Angle the speaker so
that the tweeter points 12 inches (30cm) below the ears or over the
top of the head.
As a stereo pair of speakers, a good starting position for your G6.1c
is about 18 inches (46cm) into the room as measured from the front wall
(the wall you look at as you are seated listening to the speakers) to the
back of the speakers. Place the speakers vertically on a stand that is at
least 24 inches high, and about five feet (1.5 metres) apart with the
tweeters closest together. Toe the speakers in slightly towards the
listeners – by about 5 to 10 degrees – no more.
You will want to sit nine to twelve feet (three to four metres) away from
the speakers. When sitting further away, you should place the speakers
further apart.
If you are using the G6.1c as monopole surround or rear speakers, and
you are hanging them on the wall, you will need a qualified installer to
mount them on very strong brackets. The speakers weigh over 69
pounds (31.5kgs) each, and can cause death or severe injury if it falls on
someone!

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
1.3 Connections
The speakers should be connected directly to the speaker-level output
of your power amplifiers using high quality speaker cables and the 5-
way binding posts.
The high-level thru-put binding posts are for connecting to a subwoofer.
We recommend the Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 as the perfect
complement to this speaker.
1.4 Adjustments
Don’t be too worried by the knobs on the back of the
G6.1c. Just set both knobs to the 12 o’clock position.
That is a good place to start. The G6.1c will sound great,
straight out of the box, set-up like this. As you play your
system for the next hundred hours or so, the speaker
will settle in and break in.
If you have at least 12 inches (30cm) of space
between the back of the speaker and the rear wall, the
rear tweeter should be left ON. Otherwise, turn the
rear tweeter off with the tweeter defeat switch on the
back panel.
Once you familiarize yourself with its performance,
putting a little bit of additional effort into tuning the
speaker properly for your system (which includes the
room), will give you greater long-term enjoyment and
benefits.

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
2 Setting up: Multi-channel
2.1 Positioning for Center Channel
A good starting position is for the G6.1c 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 G6.1c.
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
heads, 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, switch the rear tweeter off with the tweeter defeat
switch.
On the home theatre processor, set the speaker to
“LARGE” as the 6.1c plays below 60Hz.
2.2 Loudspeaker Controls
2.2.1 Tweeter and Midrange Controls
The two knobs at the top of the
plate on the back of the speaker
tailor the mid- and high-frequency
response of the G6.1c. They are
subtle controls, but they can make
a great difference in gaining that
last bit of additional performance
in tuning your speakers for the
room in which you are using them. They can turn your system from very
good to exceptional, so take the time to work through this process.
The left knob marked TWEETER is a volume control for the front tweeter.
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

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
you, and nylon stringed guitars sound steely. Start with this control at the
12 o'clock position. There is about a one dB range for this control.
The right knob marked MIDRANGE is used to adjust the level of the
midrange. Start at the 12 o’clock position. Turning the control anti-
clockwise will make the midrange sound leaner - turning it clockwise will
make the midrange sound fuller. A fuller midrange can also make voices
sound more forward. There is about a one-and a half dB range for this
control.
These two controls can also be used to fine tune the speaker when it is
used behind a perforated screen, which typically attenuates the mid- to
high- frequency response.
2.2.2 Tweeter Defeat
The G6.1c 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.

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
3 Setting up as Stereo Pair
3.1 Positioning
Used as a stereo pair, the G6.1c should be placed vertically 18 inches
(0.45m) into the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look
at as you are seated listening to the speakers), to the back of the
speaker. They should be placed on good, solid speaker stands about 18
to 24 inches (60cm) high.
You will notice that the tweeter and midrange drivers
are mounted on a round plate secured with four
screws. These screws can be removed, and the plate
rotated by 45 degrees so that the tweeter and
midrange are at an angle, or rotated by 90 degrees so
that the tweeter is above the midrange. If you do
rotate the midrange and tweeter, it would still be better
to have the rear tweeters closest to one another.
Start with the speakers five feet (1.5m) apart with the
tweeters (both front and rear) placed closest together,
and angled in (toed-in) towards the listener by about 5
degrees. You will want to sit 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0
metres) away from the speakers (if you have the
space). We will experiment with moving the speakers
around later.
As these speakers are dipolar in the high frequencies, they are pretty
room-friendly and you are free to move the speakers closer to, or further
away from the front and side walls. We do recommend, however, that
you give the speakers a little bit of breathing space behind them, so
don’t push them up tight against the wall.
If you have the speakers too close to the front wall, you will find that the
image depth is not as good - the soundstage becomes a little two-
dimensional. If you have the space to move the speakers away from the
wall, do so. You will be rewarded with the deep, broad soundstage that
this loudspeaker is capable of. You should be able to “see” the
soundstage behind, as well as in front of, the loudspeakers. The sound
stage will also extend outside the left and right sides of the speakers.
3.2 Loudspeaker Controls
3.2.1 Tweeter and Midrange Controls
The two knobs at the top of the plate on the back of the speaker tailor
the mid- and high-frequency response of the G6.1c. They are subtle
controls, but they can make a great difference in gaining that last bit of

additional performance in tuning your speakers for the room in which
you are using them. They can turn your system from very good to
exceptional, so take the time to work through this process.
The left knob marked TWEETER is a volume
control for the front tweeter. 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
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 one dB range for
this control.
The right knob marked MIDRANGE is used to adjust the level of the
midrange. Start at the 12 o’clock position. Turning the control anti-
clockwise will make the midrange sound leaner - turning it clockwise will
make the midrange sound fuller. A fuller midrange can also make the
soundstage appear more forward. There is about a one and a half dB
range for this control.
3.2.2 Tweeter Defeat
The optimal way to use these speakers
as a stereo pair is to leave the rear
tweeters on, and run them as dipole and
approximately 18-inches from the wall.
However, in some cases, this may not be
possible.
Should the speakers have to be placed
with their backs less than 12 inches from
the wall, the rear tweeters should be
turned off.
3.3 Tuning the system
Music is the best way to begin your set-up procedure. We suggest that
video sources be used only after you have set-up the system to properly
reproduce music. There is no “perfect” setting for the G6.1c
loudspeaker. Every listening room is different, and we recommend that
you take the time to carefully tune the system for the environment in
which it is placed.
Setting all the knobs at the “12 o’clock” position is “normal” and will be
the position from which you can start tuning. With the controls in this

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
position, they may not sound perfect, but your Genesis loudspeakers will
sound great straight out of the box.
3.4 One Change at a Time
One rule of thumb you should always keep in mind: Make one change
at a time! Do not, for instance, change position of the speakers and
make an adjustment to the amplifier all at once. Make each of these
changes separately and note the difference - by listening with each
adjustment - then make the next change.
3.5 Imaging and Soundstage
We suggest that you start with a single vocal with simple instrumental
accompaniment because the sound of the human voice is more easily
recognizable than many instruments and is a less complex sound to
deal with. Use a good recording that you know has atmosphere and
low bass content.
The performer should appear to be positioned behind the loudspeakers
and be at the appropriate height for a standing person. If it is not, there
are several remedies that will address this shortfall:
If the vocal appears to be larger than life, you should first check the
system volume. Is it a volume that would be appropriate for
someone actually singing in your room? If there is too much volume
the artist will appear too big and the opposite is true for too little
volume. If the volume is set correctly and the image is still too big,
place the speakers closer together and re-listen. Place the speakers
no less than 5 feet apart. If the image is still too big, toe the
speakers in a slight amount.
Conversely, if the image is too small, move the speakers apart. The
speakers should be no more than eight feet apart. Repeat this process
until you have it right. If the voice is too low in height, turn the
MIDRANGE control up (turning the knob clockwise), and the image of
the voice will move upward slightly.
If you have the speakers 18 inches into the room, and you are not
getting enough front to back depth (the singer not appearing behind the
speaker enough), pull the speakers away from the front wall a little bit at
a time. If you do not have them pulled far enough away, you may
not have enough front to back depth. However, slightly more than
1/3 of the way into the room is about as far as you want to go.
Pulling them half-way into the middle of the room is unlikely to help.

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
Find the best compromise for your room, your tastes and your space
requirements. If you are not getting proper focus on the voice, you may
angle the left and right speaker up to about 15 to 20 degrees (toe-in)
towards your listening position until you have a properly defined center
image. If the speakers are too far apart, the mid-bass will de-couple and
you will lose the side image If they are too close together you will have
too small a center stage.
When properly set up, very little sound should appear to come
directly from the speaker. Instead, the sound stage should extend far
beyond the left and right edge of the loudspeakers and they should have
tremendous front to back depth. When the recording is close-miked
(when the instrument or performer is very close to the recording
microphone), the music may appear to come directly from the
loudspeaker. This is normal. Typically, however, the sound should
appear to be detached from the loudspeakers.
A simple rule of thumb to follow is that focus will be achieved by placing
the speakers closer together or farther apart, and front to back depth
can be adjusted by the distance from the rear wall. Further, as the
system “breaks in”, the depth and width of the soundspace will increase
and so will the “smoothness” of the sound.
3.6 Defining the Soundstage
A common problem we find with many set-ups is a tendency to
separate the speakers too far from each other. This gives an unnaturally
wide soundstage between the two speakers, and creates problems
beyond the unnatural width of the center stage. The key problem is a
lack of soundstage information beyond the left and right sides of the
speakers.
If you find that the sound is not spacious enough, or you are not getting
enough front to back depth, pull the speakers away from the front wall.
This is typically preferable to separating the speakers too far, and will
almost always give you better depth and soundstage information. A
word of caution though: If you move the speakers too far from the front
wall you may lose the focus of the image.
In order to achieve what the speaker is capable of, we suggest you
focus your efforts on a proper balance of soundstage elements that
includes information beyond the left and right sides of the speakers, front
to back depth well behind the speaker, excellent focus of instruments
and voices, with proper vertical information and mid bass fill.

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
A Genesis loudspeaker system correctly set up, can and should provide
a soundstage that is wall-to-wall, with pinpoint focus; the speakers
disappearing completely on a recording containing such information.
3.7 Room Treatment
No room is perfect. To optimize your sonic presentation it may be helpful
to treat your room. Here are some guidelines:
Front walls. This loudspeaker is a dipole and therefore, there is
sound coming from both the front and back of the speaker. How the
front wall (the wall you face while listening), is treated or not
treated is important. Generally speaking, the Genesis loudspeakers
prefer a live (hard reflective) front wall to a dead (soft absorbent)
front wall.
By these terms, we mean the amount of reflection of sound. A typical
wall of glass, brick, cement or drywall material is a reflective
surface. A heavily curtained or sound-proofed wall would be
considered a "dead wall" or a non-reflective wall. A normal thin
curtain across a window causes only a small amount of absorption.
Sidewalls. Because the speaker is a dipole,
it is less sensitive to the sidewalls. However,
as a rule of thumb it is a good idea to keep
the speaker as far away from the sidewalls
as is practical. In some rooms, it may be
helpful to add some damping material or
diffuser panels to the point of first reflection.
This is a point on the sidewalls between the
listener and the loudspeaker. It is where the
sound from the loudspeaker first hits the
sidewall, then bounces to the listener. This
reflection is undesirable because it is slightly
delayed from the original sound. This point on
the sidewall can be easily determined with
the help of a second person and a mirror.
Sitting in your listening position, have an
assistant hold a mirror up on the sidewall.
Move the mirror until you can see the
tweeter. This is the point of first reflection. A
diffuser (see your audio dealer), an
absorptive material or even a piece of
ver 1.0

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
furniture can help break up this point of first reflection.
Rear wall. In many cases it will be unnecessary to do anything with
the wall behind your listening position. However, you may want to
experiment with diffusers or absorbers behind you for best sound.
Absorption behind the listener is usually beneficial.
3.8 Mastering the Refinements of the system
Fine tuning an audio system is an art that will take time and patience. It
can be one of the more rewarding learning experiences you will have in
the pursuit of music and its enjoyment.
In some problematic rooms a resonance may develop, at one or more
frequencies, that is unnatural to the music. By moving the speakers
closer to the front wall or farther from the front wall, the resonance may
be reduced at the listener’s position. There are no absolute rules
concerning problematic rooms, so do not be afraid to experiment with
speaker placement to determine the best position of the speakers in
your room.
One of the best pieces of advice we can offer is that you take advantage
of your ear's ability to identify similarities in sound. This ability is useful in
fine-tuning your system because, if every recording you listen to has a
similarity of sound (too much or too little of a certain frequency for
instance), then you can be fairly certain that you have yet to perfect your
set-up. Keep at it, and remember to enjoy your music as you work on
perfecting your set-up!

4 The Technology used
4.1 Dipolar Configuration
What a lot of people don’t realize is that the room is as big (if not bigger),
a part of their music system as are the loudspeakers. At Genesis, we
strive to get the loudspeakers and the room to work well together and
hence, design loudspeakers that interact with the room and have
enough of adjustment to make them work with most rooms in the world.
All rooms have floors, ceilings and sidewalls that distort sound because
of lateral, early-arriving reflections. We aim to suppress undesirable
contribution by reflected sound from these four surfaces (which is why a
lot of people put sound absorbers or diffusers at the first reflection point
of the room). In order to do that with a majority of rooms, we make our
loudspeakers dipolar.
Dipoles radiate the same, but out-of-phase, waveform from the front and
rear in “push/pull” fashion. Thus, the sound waves from the front and
back of the speakers cancel out as they radiate from the sides and tops
of the speakers which means that there is minimum radiation of sound
to the sidewalls of the room.
The G6.1c uses the wall behind the speaker to give more depth to the
soundstage and “air” to the speaker without detail robbing room
reflections from the sidewalls. Hence, it has the advantages of omni-
directional speakers, without the disadvantages.
With fewer spurious reflections to confuse your hearing, the program
source emerges more clearly. Imaging is stable, sharply focused,
deeper and spacious. Transients are clearer and sharper.
4.2 The Transducers
The transducers in the 3-way G6.1c are all proprietary Genesis-
designed drivers manufactured to our exacting standards:
4.2.1 The Genesis Ribbon Tweeter
Reviewers in the audiophile press have often remarked that the Genesis
circular ribbon tweeter is the world’s best. It is a one inch circular planar
ribbon design crafted from an extremely thin membrane of Kapton® with
a photo-etched aluminium “voice coil” that is a mere 0.0005 inch thick.
The entire radiating structure has less mass than the air in front of it!
That is why it will accurately reproduce frequencies beyond 36 kHz.
The result of this design is a driver that has a rapid and uniform
response to high frequencies and has the speed of the best
ver 1.0

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor
dispersion that is typically associated with them.
The G6.1c uses two of these tweeters per channel. One is front-firing
and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front
tweeter, creating a dipole.
4.2.2 Titanium Midrange
We sometimes say that the midrange is a window into the mind of a
composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the “magic” is
in a well-recorded musical event.
The G6.1c uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 5 inch titanium-coned
midrange to cover this critical frequency spectrum. Manufactured out of
one of the lightest and stiffest materials known, this low mass cone
driver is one of the best midrange transducers ever made, with nearly
instantaneous transient response, enabling the G6.1c to sound lifelike
and effortless.
4.2.3 Aluminum-cone Woofers
The G6.1c incorporates two front-firing 6.5 inch metal cone woofers.
Made of a cone of solid aluminium, the suspension and voice-coil have
been maximized for long, distortion-free excursion so as to increase
dynamic range. Our aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than
plastic or paper cones, and virtually eliminate the problems caused by
cone bending and break-up.
4.3 Crossover
If the servo-controlled bass amplifier is the heart of the loudspeaker, the
crossover is the brain. In order to manage and maximize the
performance of the extensive complement of transducers used in
Genesis loudspeakers, we spend more money on the crossover than
many other manufacturers put in their entire speaker.
Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of
knowledge and experience. The inductors are made for Genesis with
OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for
Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil. The
crossover of each G6.1c weighs over five pounds (2.2kg)! L/C tuning is
employed to extract the most bass out of the small cabinet.
More importantly, the crossovers are designed with many, many hours
of music listening and constant refining, tuning and tweaking of the
circuit. Out of this comes the “magic” that is a Genesis-designed
loudspeaker system. For example, by going the more expensive route

~ÄëçäìíÉ=ÑáÇÉäáíó
of using several smaller capacitors in parallel instead of a single big one,
transparency and musicality were improved.
4.4 Vibration-free Cabinet
The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic
quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity.
In some parts of the cabinet where vibration would have been the
greatest, two inches (52mm) of multi-layer bonded MDF was used to
provide damping, structural integrity and a rigid platform for the drivers to
be located. Extensive bracing was carefully incorporated using 25mm
slabs of MDF to eliminate cabinet flex and panel resonance.
Incidentally, MDF was chosen as the material of choice for its damping
properties and its consistency in hardness, density and rigidity. It would
actually have been cheaper and easier to make the cabinet of solid
wood, but that would have been a compromise.
Genesis designed a unique tongue
and groove joint in order to improve
the structural rigidity of the cabinet.
Crystalline glue the dissolves into
the mdf was chosen to ensure that
the interfaces between two panel
pieces becomes as one. This
results in the entire enclosure
behaving as a single unit, with
seemingly no discontinuity in
material.
This results in a joint so strong that
when you try to rip the joint apart, it
isn’t the joint that would break. The
mdf would break apart first.
Genesis locates the midrange and high frequency transducers on a
12mm thick piece of solid-surface Aluminium Trihydrate and Resin
material; the same as used for the flagship Genesis 1.1.
