Genesis Advanced Technologies 6 Series manual Technology, Dipolar Radiation Pattern

TECHNOLOGY

The technologies and materials used in the Genesis 6-Series far surpass what is merely necessary. With over 40 years of experience in loudspeaker design, Genesis has a legacy of experience and knowledge to draw from to achieve a level of performance that is simply astounding.

DIPOLAR RADIATION PATTERN

What many people have begun to realize is that the room is as big a part of their music system as are the loudspeakers. All rooms have floors, ceilings and sidewalls that distort sound because of lateral, early-arriving reflections at the listening positions.

Dipoles radiate the same waveform from both front and rear in "push/pull" fashion. Thus, the sound waves from the front and back of the speakers cancel out as they radiate from the sides and tops of the speakers. With fewer spurious reflections to confuse hearing, imaging is more stable, sharply focused, deeper, and spacious. Transients are clearer, and sharper.

This control of dispersion and reflected sound is the secret behind how Genesis loudspeakers manage to "disappear", and gets out of the way of your enjoyment of music.

LOW DISTORTION DRIVERS

Transducers used in the 6-Series loudspeakers all speak with a similar voice.

The renowned Genesis 1-inch circular ribbon tweeter covers the high frequency duties. This tweeter has been often been called “the world’s
