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:

4.2.1The 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

G6.1c specifications

Genesis Advanced Technologies has long been recognized as a pioneer in the realm of high-performance audio equipment, and their G6.1c loudspeaker is a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence. The G6.1c is a hybrid electrostatic speaker, combining the transparency and detail of electrostatic technology with the dynamics and efficiency of traditional dynamic drivers. This integration allows for a listening experience that is both immersive and accurate.

One of the standout features of the G6.1c is its ability to reproduce sound with remarkable clarity and precision. The electrostatic panel is designed to deliver an extended frequency response, reaching both the high and low ends of the audio spectrum. This enables listeners to experience music as it was intended by the artists, capturing the nuances and subtleties that can often be lost with conventional speakers.

The G6.1c also incorporates advanced technology in its design, including a custom-designed high-frequency transducer, which ensures consistent performance across various listening conditions. Coupled with a robust dynamic mid-bass driver, the speaker achieves a well-balanced sound that is both rich and engaging. Each component is meticulously engineered to work harmoniously, providing an open, airy soundstage that enhances the overall audio experience.

Another notable characteristic of the G6.1c is its elegant aesthetic. The speaker's elegant curves and sleek finish not only appeal visually but also contribute to its acoustic performance by minimizing unwanted resonance. The integration of premium materials in construction ensures durability and longevity, making the G6.1c a worthy investment for audiophiles.

Furthermore, the speaker's efficient design allows it to excel in a variety of listening environments, whether in a dedicated audio room or a casual living space. With its high sensitivity rating, the G6.1c can be driven effectively by a range of amplification options, making it versatile for different users and setups.

In summary, the Genesis Advanced Technologies G6.1c loudspeaker stands out for its innovative combination of electrostatic and dynamic technologies, providing an exceptional listening experience. Its advanced features, exquisite craftsmanship, and adaptability make it a benchmark in high-fidelity audio, catering to audiophiles who demand the finest sound quality in their audio systems. Whether listening to classical symphonies or modern rock, the G6.1c delivers an experience that is both captivating and true to the original recording.
