ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor dispersion that is typically associated with them.

The G7.1c uses two of these tweeters per channel. One is front-firing and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front tweeter, creating a dipole.

4.2.2Titanium Mid-Woofer

We sometimes say that the midrange is a window into the mind of a composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the “magic” is in a well-recorded musical event.

The G7.1c uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 6 inch solid titanium- coned transducer to cover this critical frequency spectrum. Manufactured out of one of the lightest and stiffest materials known, this low mass cone driver is one of the best midrange transducers ever made, with nearly instantaneous transient response, enabling the G7.1c to sound lifelike and effortless.

The stiffness of the titanium cone also allows Genesis to use this as a woofer – hence, mid-woofer. It retains its low distortion, even on long throw application needed in delivering the lower frequencies. Hence, the solid titanium cone allows Genesis to develop a driver that is exemplary in the midrange, as well as deliver the heft and impact of a woofer.

4.3 Crossover

We believe that the crossover is the brain of the loudspeaker. In order to manage and maximize the performance of the extensive complement of transducers used in Genesis loudspeakers, we spend more money on the crossover than many other manufacturers put in their entire speaker.

Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of knowledge and experience. The inductors are custom designed and made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil. The crossover of each G7.1c weighs over five pounds (2.2kg)! L/C tuning is employed to extract the most bass out of the small cabinet.

More importantly, the crossovers are designed with many, many hours of music listening and constant refining, tuning and tweaking of the circuit. Out of this comes the “magic” that is a Genesis-designed loudspeaker system.
