absolute fidelity
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
The lowest
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.
Servo-controlled Amplifier
One problem, however, of metal cones, is that of greater mass (even ones as light as the ones used in the G2.2). To over come this, Genesis had to build an amplification system of great power, 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 efficiently deliver extraordinarily large amounts of clean power into very low impedances.
In the Genesis 2.2, the amplifier was designed as a holistic system of woofers, integrated connecting cables, amplifiers,
Specially designed and tuned “Dynamic Reserve” power supplies are used – one for two channels – to deliver balanced dynamics which are critical to bass accuracy. This improves the power factor
