absolute fidelity
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.
5.2.2 Titanium 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.
5.2.3 Mid-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.
5.3 Crossover
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
