The Genesis Servo/Bass Cable
The concept of our servo-bass s stem is an eas one to understand. It emplo s an
accelerometer in the woofer to constantl monitor the movement of the cone and
instantaneousl compare it to the input signal. This comparison circuit identifies an
deviation from the input signal and applies a corrective signal to compensate; resulting in
the virtual elimination of the inherent distortion of the woofer.
In the Genesis products with an external amplifier, this means that the servo/bass cable
that connects the woofer and accelerometer to the servo amplifier is a critical part of the
servo s stem feedback circuit. The Genesis Servo/Bass cable is designed to work as a
s stem with the servo circuit and the amplifier. It is a speaker cable, and a feedback
circuit cable engineered together.
Grounded shielding is emplo ed to ensure minimal crosstalk interference between the
accelerometer return and the high-voltage speaker signal. Spaced and tightl constrained
conductors are used for the speaker signal to ensure that the inductance, capacitance, and
resistance of the cable are optimal for the servo s stem.

Instructions For Grounding the Shield
On Genesis Servo Cables
Step 1.- Remove the grounding screw from the amplifier chassis. This screw is located on
the rear left hand corner of the chassis bottom.
Figure 1
Step 2. – Using a small piece of 240 grit sandpaper sand the paint around the screw
hole until the chassis metal is exposed.
Figure 2 Figure 3

Step 3. – Using the screw removed in step 1, attach the ring terminal connector on the
Y-cable to the chassis.
Figure 4
Step 4. – Connect the male 1/8” mini jack connector on the ground lead of the left
channel cable pair to one of the female 1/8” mini jack connectors on the Y-
cable.

Step 5. – Connect the male 1/8” mini jack connector on the ground lead of the right
channel servo cable pair to the second female 1/8” mini jack connector on the
Y-cable.
