The result of this design is a driver that has a rapid and uniform
response to high frequencies and has the speed of the best
ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor
dispersion that is typically associated with them.
The G6.1 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.
6.3.2 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 G6.1 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 G6.1 to sound lifelike
and effortless.
The driver is housed in an enclosure that is open to the back. Thus, the
midrange operates as a dipole too.
6.3.3 Mid-Bass Couplers
In order to create a “sound bridge” between the midrange and the bass
section, the G6.1 incorporates two front-firing 6.5 inch metal cone mid-
bass couplers. The drivers are open to the back of the speakers like the
mid-range, and hence, they too work as a dipole.
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.
6.3.4 Aluminium-cone Woofers
The transducer used in a servo system must be strong enough to
withstand the high current approach of the servo, yet delicate and light
enough to react extremely quickly. The G6.1 features two 12-inch ribbed
aluminium cone woofers per channel.
While the servo system is able to ensure that the driver works linearly as
a perfect piston, it is unable to correct for distortion caused by cone
wobble, bending, and break-up. Hence, the drivers were designed to
minimize these non-linear distortions, allowing the servo system to
achieve maximum acccuracy.
