4.4 Vibration-free Cabinet
The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity.
In some parts of the cabinet where vibration would have been the greatest, 1 ½ inches (36mm) of
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 and vibration behaviour of the cabinet.
Crystalline glue the 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.
