201

The Genesis 201 is a floor standing, four-piece loudspeaker system featur-

ing a pair of dipole midrange/tweeter pan- els and two bi-polar woofer towers. Each midrange/tweeter panel consists of a 48- inch midrange ribbon, twelve front-firing and three rear-firing 1-inch planar ribbon tweeters. Each woofer tower contains eight cast-frame, metal-cone woofers driven by an 800-watt remote controlled Servo Am- plifier. All the transducers in this unique, state-of-the-art system have been

designed to be a nearly perfect piston within its useable frequency band.

The 1-inch planar ribbon tweeter, described by the audiophile press as pos- sibly “the world’s best,” is hand-crafted

from an 0.0005 inch thick laminated membrane of aluminum and Kapton. The extremely low mass of the tweeter’s diaphragm means that this driver has a frequency response considerably beyond the hu-

man hearing range.

Genesis 201’s midrange transducer is single- piece, planar ribbon driver constructed of a very thin layer of aluminum laminated to a 0.001 inch thick Mylar substrate and surrounded by over 24 feet of barium ferrite magnets.

An active 1600-watt servo feedback system, employing acceler-

ometers as sensors,

lowers the woofer distortion by a fac- tor of 10 compared to its open loop response. This re- sults in the 201 low frequency system

having lower distortion and faster response time than convention-

al designs.
