there are far fewer detail-robbing room reflections from the room than other types of loudspeakers. With fewer spurious reflections to confuse your hearing, the program source emerges more clearly. Imaging is deeper, yet more focused.

This results in a loudspeaker system that is virtually room- independent. Also, because there are no phase and frequency distorting reflections created, one can be transported into the audience of the actual concert hall where the music was recorded.

The 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 to 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 G2.2 uses twelve of these tweeters configured as a vertical line source. Because the output is distributed over many drivers, each works at very low-stress. This dramatically lowers the distortions in the high frequencies.

The G2.2 also use three rear-firing tweeters per channel wired to the crossover out of phase to the front tweeters creating a dipole.

48inch midrange ribbon

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. This is why the G2.2 loudspeaker system uses a single 48inch-long ribbon per channel as a dipolar line-source to reproduce these critical frequencies.

The midrange ribbon used in the G2.2 is manufactured to Genesis’ exacting specifications. The ribbon itself is made of a very thin layer of aluminium laminated to a substrate of mylar that is 0.001inch
