The woofers are a uniquely designed metal cone driver made for the Genesis servo system. Made with a cone of solid aluminium, the suspension and voicecoil have been maximized for long distortion-free excursion so as to increase dynamic range. Our aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than any plastic cone on the market, and virtually eliminate the problems caused by cone bending and break-up.

The lowest break-up mode (where there can be any chance of distortion at all) is at 6,000Hz – far above the 16Hz to 120Hz frequency range that these drivers operate at. Therefore, the driver is a perfect piston within the frequencies used. Thus, extremely low cone break-up distortion is inherent in the driver that is designed for the Genesis 201.

Unlike the midrange and the tweeters, the front and rear woofers operate in phase as a bipolar arrangement in which all sixteen operate in unison to control the air mass of the entire room. This means that the surface area of the eight cones and the large enclosure all work together in unison to produce bass output that descends evenly to below your hearing limits.

One problem, however, of metal cones, 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 201, the amplifier was designed as a holistic system of integrated connecting cables, woofers, and custom tailored EQ network and remote controlled crossover circuitry. The proprietary four-channel 400 watt per channel switching amplifier is specifically designed and tuned specifically 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 mid/tweeter section of the Genesis 201. No longer must one choose between having an amplifier with enough power to drive the woofers, and a smaller
