cones and the loudspeaker enclosure all work in unison to produce bass output that descends evenly to below your hearing limits.

500 watt Class D Servo Amplifier

While the advantages of metal cones include extreme stiffness resulting in very low distortion and break-up, one problem is that of greater mass. To over come this, Genesis had to build an amplification system of great wattage, and high damping factor. The servo system also places extraordinary demands on the amplifier because the system uses enormous amounts of current to make the woofer follow the input signal. Combined with the metal cones, this means that the amplifier used must deliver extraordinarily large amounts of clean power.

In the Genesis 5, the built-in amplifier was specifically designed and tuned for low frequencies in order to produce “floorshakingly musical” bass to power the servo woofers.

One side benefit of this powered woofer system is that almost any sized amplifier can be used to drive the Genesis 5. No longer must one choose between having an amplifier with enough power to drive the woofers, and a smaller amplifier having better spatial and tonal characters. Nevertheless, we generally recommend 60 watts as a minimum.

The Acoustic Plinth

The suspension for the speaker comprises three elements:

1)The neoprene shock absorbers are tuned to isolate and decouple the loudspeaker cabinet for optimal bass response no matter what surface the loudspeaker sits on. For extremely hard floors (bare marble, granite, etc), a set of softer shock absorbers (included) may be substituted. Use the softer shock absorbers only if the speakers sounds too hard and unrelenting on hard floors. If a very resonant floor (such as if the speakers were to be used on a wooden stage), the softer absorbers may also be used for further decoupling.

2)The skeletal frame acts as a tuned absorber. Made of a sandwich of Baltic birch ply with a constrained vibration absorbent material, no two parts of the frame will resonate at the same frequencies. This ensures that all midrange frequencies are “dumped” at the foot of the cabinet so that

This innovative model is designed with precision engineering, ensuring that every aspect of sound reproduction is meticulously crafted to deliver the highest quality performance.

One of the standout features of the G5.3 is its advanced air suspension system. This technology effectively isolates the turntable from external vibrations, which can compromise sound fidelity. By utilizing this system, the G5.3 minimizes resonance and enhances clarity, allowing listeners to appreciate their favorite records with stunning depth and detail.

The G5.3 is equipped with a sophisticated tonearm that is meticulously designed to optimize tracking and reduce distortion. The arm's adjustable counterweight and precise anti-skate mechanism work in unison to ensure that the stylus maintains the best possible contact with the vinyl grooves. This results in an accurate and immersive listening experience that reveals nuances often missed by lesser turntables.

Another impressive characteristic of the G5.3 is its high-torque, quiet motor, which ensures consistent speed stability. This stability is essential for accurate pitch and timing, especially in complex musical passages. Coupled with a high-quality platter made from heavy materials, the motor's performance enhances the overall dynamics of the music.

Genesis Advanced Technologies also offers a variety of customizable options for the G5.3, allowing users to tailor their setup according to personal preferences. This includes choices in cartridge types, arm lengths, and even finishes. The level of customization available ensures that every audiophile can create a unique listening experience that suits their taste.

Users will also appreciate the G5.3's elegant design. With a sleek, modern aesthetic complemented by high-end materials, this turntable is not just an audio device; it is also a statement piece that enhances any living space.

In summary, the Genesis Advanced Technologies G5.3 is a fusion of state-of-the-art technology and exquisite craftsmanship. Its advanced features, including an air suspension system, precision tonearm, and customizable options, make it a compelling choice for those who demand the highest standards in sound quality. This turntable is more than just a playback device; it is an investment in an extraordinary auditory journey.
