3.3 Vibration-free Cabinet

absolute fidelity

Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of knowledge and experience. The inductors are designed and made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin- foil (not aluminium).

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. For example, by going the more expensive route of using several smaller capacitors in parallel instead of a single large one, transparency and musicality were improved.

3.3 Vibration-free Cabinet

The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity. Extensive bracing was carefully incorporated using 12mm slabs of MDF to eliminate cabinet flex and panel resonance.

Incidentally, MDF was chosen as the material of choice for its damping properties and its consistency in hardness, density and rigidity. It would actually have been cheaper and easier to make the cabinet of solid wood, but that would have been a compromise.

Genesis designed a unique tongue and groove joint in order to improve the structural rigidity of the cabinet.

Crystalline glue that dissolves into the MDF was chosen to ensure that the interfaces between two panel pieces becomes as one. This results in the entire enclosure behaving as a single unit, with seemingly no discontinuity in material.

This results in a joint so strong that when you try to rip the joint apart, it isn’t the joint that would break. The mdf would break apart first.
