S4/8 Owners Manual Ver 0.1 2 22 2 a b s o l u t e f i d e l i t y ™ A Message from Genesis Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of th e finest sub- woofers available for music and home theater system s. The Genesis ServoSub™ 4/8 is a unique subwoofer wit h 4 ultra-fast 8 ribbed aluminum woofers and an integral 500W servo- controlled bass amplifier. When used to complement the Genesis 6.1c center channel, or any other center channel for that matter, the S4 /8 adds body to the voice channel for home theater applications. The hallmarks of the S4/8 are speed, delicacy and a rticulation. Hence, it is also the perfect partner to fast panel or ele ctrostatic loudspeakers. The S4/8 delivers bass frequencies as intended by t he musical performer, or as intended by the movie director. Th is is what we call absolute fidelity™ . In this case, we mean that the bass response of the speaker is completely faithful to the input sig nal. This is achieved by servo control of the woofer cone. The S4/8 plays as loudly and deeply as much larger sub-woofers that cost much more, and outperforms them in terms of tr ansient fidelity and freedom from the colorations inherent in port-l oaded subwoofer designs. Please read through the Owners Manual and Set-up Gu ide to achieve the maximum enjoyment from your purchase. Please write the serial number and purchase details of your Genesis S4/8 here for future reference. Purchased at: _________________ Date: __________

S4/8 Owners Manual Ver 0.1 3 33 3 a b s o l u t e f i d e l i t y ™ A Quick Start Set-up Guide Now that you have your new Genesis ServoSub 4/8, we realize that you are eager to hook it up and start listening! Ne vertheless, please read this quick start guide NOW before you begin se tting it up. Safety Tips The S4/8 is a powered subwoofer with a built-in amp lifier: it needs to be connected to a power socket that is always on. M ake sure that you are providing the correct voltage, and keep the S4/ 8 away from water and direct heat. Connections There are two common options for hooking-up the S4/8 to your existing system. For dedicated music systems and bass extension of satellite speakers, we recommend connecting the high-level speaker binding posts on the S4/8 to your power amplifiers speaker outputs, or connect them to the speaker through binding posts on the associated speaker, using a short run of cable as a jumper. Please note that the binding post inputs on the S4/8 are high impedance inputs. This means that you can connect as many of them as you like to the output of a power amplifier, and the amp will never see the load. This also means that you should use an interconnect-type cable to connect the S4/8 even if you use the high level inputs. Speaker cables are designed for low-impedance connections. Hence, unless it is a very short jumper, a thin, small interconnect-type cable is a better choice than a thick speaker-type cable. The second option for connecting the S4/8 to your existing system is to hook it up to your preamp out using the line level inputs. In this case, if you h ave two outputs on your preamp, use one set for the pow er amp, and the second for the S4/8, avoiding a Y-connector if poss ible. You can use a single S4/8 to augment a pair of spea kers, as it provides for two high-level inputs.
