Unpacking
Your 2 pac or 3 pac carton contains:
!For 2 pac: 2 x Genie Micro Monitors, 2 sets of speaker cables, and 4 bumponÔfeet
!For 3 pac: 3 x Genie Micro Monitors, 3 sets of speaker cables, and 6 bumponÔfeet.
Normally, all speakers require a "break-in" period, i.e., played for sometime so that they can quickly start performing at their best! The same is true for the
Genie I also. If you do not want to do this when you are at home, set your source unit, i.e., CD player, on "repeat entire disc" mode. Then, allow the
speakers to play at moderate volume setting for 6-8 hours
Note: Please retain all packing materials in case you need to transport the Genie Is.

About your Genie I
These micro monitors use hand picked drivers for authentic 2-way design and a low frequency extension of a full octave lower than otherwise possible in a
speaker of this size. The Genie speakers in this carton comprise a tiny 3-inch woofer and a dome tweeter and yet they never sound thin, as do other opposite
numbers from competing brands. The enclosures are aluminium die-cast and so designed as to provide horizontal time alignment between the two drivers.
The small size of the drivers and a minimum centre distance between the two approach the ‘ideal source’ of sound. The trapezoidal shape prevents
st
formation of ‘standing waves’ inside the enclosure which are further damped out with cellulose fibre filling material. A 1 order crossover allows a laid-back
soundstage and resolution extremely difficult for other speakers of this size to attain. Great efforts were put into eliminate ringing - often associated with
metallic structures - by coating the entire inner part of the enclosure with specially formulated rubber paint. And, above all, our ears and years of sound
experience approved them.

1a. Stereo - Genie I as a full range monitor
Recommended stereo amplifier power:
40 watt long term or 55 watt short term
Connections
Genie I has gold-plated binding post terminals, where red indicates + ve
and black, - ve. Please proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the amplifier.
2. Gently pull of the insulation at the cable ends (which have been pre-
cut at the factory prior to shipping)
3. Twist the strands of the wire together.
4. Turn the gold-plated binding posts counter-clockwise until the twisted
wires can be easily inserted into the holes.
5. Insert the wires, making sure red is +ve and black ,-ve & then turn
The binding posts clockwise to secure the cables in the terminals.
6. Ensure that the connection is a tight fit.
7. Similarly, follow steps 2-6 at the amplifier end to complete the
connections.

Note:
A. Verify that the wires from +ve and -ve cables do not touch each other, as short-circuit
could damage the amplifier's output stage
B. Verify that the speaker is in proper phase; the red terminal on the speaker is connected
to the blue terminal on the amplifier and similarly for the black terminals.

The Genie I has gold-plated binding post terminals, where red indicates
+ve and black, -ve. Please proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the amplifier.
2. Connect the powered subwoofer to the amplifier as described in the
subwoofer owners manual under speaker/ high level connections.
To connect the Genie I to your powered subwoofer:
3. Gently pull of the insulation at the cable ends (which have been pre-
cut at the factory prior to shipping)
4. Twist the strands of the wire together.
1c. Stereo - Genie as satellites in conjunction with a powered subwoofer (Roarr IB/IIC)
Continued …
Recommended stereo amplifier power while operating the Genie Is in
satellite mode:
Not greater than 60 watt long term or 85 watt short term
Connections for Genie in satellite mode:
In this setup, the Genie is connected to the amplifier indirectly, via the
high pass output of a powered subwoofer (Roarr IB/IIC), and thus
operates as a satellite speaker with the powered subwoofer as lower mid
and bass reinforcement. This also results in effective power handling
increase for the Genie since it is not asked to reproduce the bass
frequencies.

Note:
A. Verify that the wires from + ve & -ve cables do not touch each other, as short-circuit could
damage the amplifier's and / or the powered subwoofer's output stage.
B. Verify that the speaker is in proper phase; the red terminal on the speaker is connected
to the red terminal on the powered subwoofer and similarly for the black terminals
C. While operating in this mode, it is best to use the Roarr powered subwoofers by
Sonodyne and if so, to set the crossover of the Roarr IB/ IIC between 100 and 120 Hz
