Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of knowledge and experience. 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.

The crossover has three electrically separate circuits for the front tweeters, midrange and rear tweeters. This allows the G1.1 midrange/ tweeter wings to be tri-amplified. However, we stress that three identical amplifiers with identical loudspeaker cables should be used.

The crossover slope between the midrange and tweeter is the epitome of elegance and simplicity – a six dB per-octave slope which is absolutely phase linear. This also necessitates that all passive crossover elements have no shunt components.

Housed in a solid Corian enclosure, the crossover has controls for upper midrange control and rear-tweeter level for matching room acoustics.

4.8Corian™ Baffle, Wings and Bases

One of the great lessons learned in speaker design is the necessity of rigid enclosures and baffles. Vibrations from any surface on the speaker can not only cause frequency anomalies, but also time and phase distortion. Hence, the Genesis 1.1 employs an ultra-rigid Corian baffle on which to mount the midrange and high-frequency transducers.

The Corian baffle is then inserted rigidly into a composite base which forms the foundation for the “wings” of the midrange/tweeter module. This results in a completely inert baffle from which to launch the midrange and high-frequency soundwave.

4.9Summary

The Genesis 1.1 contains the knowledge and experience of over 40 years of loudspeaker design. We believe that no other product in the market can approximate the sonic realism of the Genesis 1.1.

There are no compromises in this system. It excels at spectral coherence and accurate harmonic structure. It has the greatest dynamic range of any high-end reference system. It has superb macro- and micro-dynamic qualities, unparalleled soundstaging and very low distortion. It does not limit or favor any kind of music. Listening to the Genesis 1.1 is listening to absolute fidelity.
