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

The G7.1p uses two of these tweeters per channel. One is front-firing 
and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front 
tweeter, creating a dipole. 

4.2.2 Titanium 

Mid-Woofer 

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 G7.1p uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 6 inch solid titanium-
coned transducer 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 G7.1p 
to sound lifelike and effortless. 

The stiffness of the titanium cone also allows Genesis to use this as a 
woofer – hence, mid-woofer. It retains its low distortion, even on long 
throw application needed in delivering the lower frequencies. Hence, the 
solid titanium cone allows Genesis to develop a driver that is exemplary 
in the midrange, as well as deliver the heft and impact of a woofer. 

4.3 Crossover 

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 custom designed and 
made for Genesis with OFC copper windings. The capacitors used are 
also custom made for Genesis, using high-quality polypropylene-film 
and tin-foil. 

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.  

4.4 Vibration-free Cabinet 

The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic 
quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity.
