Mid-Bass Couplers

In order to create a “sound bridge” between the midrange and the bass section, the G5 incorporates two 6.5inch metal cone mid-bass couplers. One front and one rear firing, again working as a dipole.

Made of aluminum, this metal cone is extremely light and stiff. The driver is hence capable of handling the huge dynamic range demands of live music while maintaining extremely low coloration and excellent transient response.

The Servo-bass Advantage

Very few loudspeakers use servo drive, either because most designers think that it is too difficult to design, too expensive, or because of the extraordinary demands a servo system makes on the amplifier and the transducer.

The concept of the Genesis servo bass system is an easy one to understand: It employs, an accelerometer as a sensor, to constantly monitor the movement of the woofer cone and instantaneously compares it to the input signal. This comparison circuit identifies any deviation from the input and instantaneously applies a corrective signal to compensate, thus practically eliminating the inherent distortion of the woofer!

As an example, when you have a high-impact, low-bass signal that starts and stops suddenly (for example a tympani), the inertia of the woofer cone makes it slow to start moving, and then after it is moving, the momentum of the cone makes it continue moving even after the signal has stopped.

The sonic result is overhang, bloat, lack of tautness and definition, and a blurring of dynamic impact. With the servo system, the circuit senses that the woofer is not moving as fast as it should, and it instantaneously applies much more current to make it move faster.

When the signal stops, it detects that the woofer will continue to move when it shouldn’t and applies a counter-signal to stop the woofer faster and more effectively than an open loop woofer could possibly respond.

Thus, the servo-drive reduces distortion and improves transient response by making the woofer seem massless. Typical non-servo woofer systems have distortion levels that exceed 10% at even
