ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor dispersion that is typically associated with them.
The G6.1c uses two of these tweeters per channel. One is front-firing and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front tweeter, creating a dipole.
4.2.2Titanium 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 G6.1c 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 G6.1c to sound lifelike and effortless.
4.2.3Aluminum-cone Woofers
The G6.1c incorporates two front-firing 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.
4.3 Crossover
If the servo-controlled bass amplifier is the heart of the loudspeaker, the crossover is the brain. In order to manage and maximize the performance of the extensive complement of transducers used in Genesis loudspeakers, we spend more money on the crossover than many other manufacturers put in their entire speaker.
Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of knowledge and experience. The inductors are made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are also custom made for Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil. The crossover of each G6.1c weighs over five pounds (2.2kg)! L/C tuning is employed to extract the most bass out of the small cabinet.
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
