of aluminium laminated to a substrate of mylar that is 0.001inch
thick. The ribbon is then suspended in the magnetic field created
by 5 feet of neodymium magnets.
This result in a near perfect ribbon midrange with the same wide
and even radiation characteristics as the Genesis tweeter.
Titanium Mid-Bass Coupler
The G4 uses a pair of Genesis-designed proprietary 5.5 inch solid
titanium-coned transducers to cover this critical frequency
spectrum between the midrange and the servo-bass woofers.
Manufactured out of one of the lightest and stiffest materials
known, this low mass cone driver with nearly instantaneous
transient response, enables the G4 to sound lifelike and effortless.
The stiffness of the titanium cone allows it to retain its low distortion
even on long throw application needed in delivering lower
frequencies. Hence, the solid titanium cone allowed Genesis to
develop a driver that is exemplary in the midrange, as well as
deliver the heft and impact of a woofer to “bridge the gap”.
Proprietary Crossover Topology
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 modeling plus years of
knowledge and experience. The inductors are custom designed
and made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The special
film&foil capacitors used are also custom made for Genesis, using
high-quality polypropylene-film and tin-foil. The crossover of each
G4 weighs over 11 pounds (5kg)!
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
The Servo-bass Advantage
Very few loudspeakers use servo drive, either because most
designers think that it is too difficult to design, too expensive, or
