ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor dispersion that is typically associated with them.

The G6.1e uses two of these tweeters per channel. One front-firing, and the other rear-firing wired to the crossover out of phase to the front tweeters, creating a dipole.

5.2.2Titanium 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 G6.1e 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 G6.1e to sound lifelike and effortless.

5.2.3Mid-Bass Couplers

In order to create and deliver the spectacular dynamics and concert- level listening that is available in all Genesis 6 -series loudspeakers, the G6.1e incorporates two front-firing 6.5 inch metal cone mid-bass couplers as woofers.

Made of aluminum, this metal cone is extremely light and stiff. The driver is hence capable of handling the huge dynamic range demands of the system while maintaining extremely low coloration and excellent transient response.

5.3Crossover

At Genesis, we believe that 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 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 G6.1e weighs over five pounds (2.2kg)!

More importantly, the crossovers are designed with many, many hours of music listening, and constant refining, tuning and tweaking of the
