3 The Technology used

3.1 The Transducers

The transducers in the 3-way G6.1sr are all proprietary Genesis- designed drivers manufactured to our exacting standards:

3.1.1The 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 ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor dispersion that is typically associated with them.

The G6.1sr uses three of these tweeters per channel, one on each of the front three faces. In monopole mode, only the front tweeter is employed. In dipole mode, the front tweeter is switched off, and the tweeters on the two side faces are turned on but out of phase to one another.

3.1.2Titanium Midrange

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 G6.1sr uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 5 inch titanium-coned midrange 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 G6.1sr to sound lifelike and effortless.

The midrange is switched off in dipole mode.

3.1.3Aluminum-cone Woofers

The G6.1c incorporates two 6.5 inch metal cone woofers. Made of a cone of solid aluminium, the suspension and voice-coil have been maximized for long, distortion-free excursion so as to increase dynamic range. Our aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than plastic or

G6.1sr specifications

Genesis Advanced Technologies has long been recognized for its pioneering contributions to high-end audio equipment, and the Genesis G6.1sr speaker system exemplifies its commitment to delivering extraordinary sound quality. This cutting-edge speaker system combines advanced materials, meticulous engineering, and innovative design to create a listening experience that surpasses traditional loudspeakers.

One of the standout features of the G6.1sr is its hybrid design, which incorporates both planar magnetic ribbon drivers and dynamic woofers. The combination allows for exceptional clarity, detail, and response across a wide frequency range. The ribbon drivers are known for their low distortion and fast transient response, ensuring that even the most intricate musical passages are reproduced with precision. This is paired with powerful woofers that provide a deep, controlled bass, resulting in an immersive audio experience that brings music to life.

Moreover, the G6.1sr is engineered with advanced crossover technology. The crossover design plays a crucial role in managing frequency distribution, ensuring seamless transition between the drivers. Genesis has utilized custom-designed high-quality components in its crossovers, minimizing phase distortion and maximizing the coherency of sound. This attention to detail helps in maintaining the integrity of the original audio signal, delivering an authenticity that audiophiles crave.

The cabinet design of the G6.1sr also contributes to its exceptional performance. Constructed from high-density materials and featuring advanced damping techniques, the cabinets are engineered to minimize resonance and vibrations that can interfere with sound quality. This results in a clear, uncolored audio output that preserves the nuances of any genre.

In terms of aesthetics, the G6.1sr features a sophisticated design that blends seamlessly into various home environments. Available in a range of finishes, these speakers not only function spectacularly but also serve as a statement piece in any listening room.

When paired with quality amplification, the Genesis G6.1sr can effortlessly fill large spaces with rich, dynamic sound, making it suitable for both personal and commercial applications. With a focus on innovation and excellence, the Genesis Advanced Technologies G6.1sr stands as a testament to the company's dedication to the art of sound. Whether for music enthusiasts or casual listeners, the G6.1sr promises an unparalleled listening experience that will resonate for years to come.
