3 The Technology used

3.1 The Transducers

The transducers in the 3-way G6.1mp are all proprietary Genesis- designed drivers manufactured to our exacting standards:

3.1.1The 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 beyond 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.

3.1.2Titanium Midrange

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.

The G6.1mp uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 5 inch titanium-coned midrange to cover this critical frequency spectrum. Manufactured out of one of the lightest and stiffest materials known, this low mass cone driver is one of the best midrange transducers ever made, with nearly instantaneous transient response, enabling the G6.1sr to sound lifelike and effortless.

3.1.3Aluminum-cone Woofers

The G6.1mp incorporates two 6.5 inch metal cone woofers. Made of a cone of solid aluminium, the suspension and voice-coil have been maximized for long, distortion-free excursion so as to increase dynamic range. Our aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than plastic or paper cones, and virtually eliminate the problems caused by cone bending and break-up.

3.2 Crossover

The crossover is the brain of the loudspeaker. In order to manage and maximize the performance of the extensive complement of transducers used in Genesis loudspeakers, we spend an inordinate proportion of money on the crossover.
