The Genesis Servo/Bass Cable
The concept of our servo-bass system is an easy one to understand. It employs an
accelerometer in the woofer to constantly monitor the movement of the cone and
instantaneously compare it to the input signal. This comparison circuit identifies any
deviation from the input signal and applies a corrective signal to compensate; resulting in
the virtual elimination of the inherent distortion of the woofer.
In the Genesis products with an external amplifier, this means that the servo/bass cable
that connects the woofer and accelerometer to the servo amplifier is a critical part of the
servo system feedback circuit. The Genesis Servo/Bass cable is designed to work as a
system with the servo circuit and the amplifier. It is a speaker cable, and a feedback
circuit cable engineered together.
Grounded shielding is employed to ensure minimal crosstalk interference between the
accelerometer return and the high-voltage speaker signal. Spaced and tightly constrained
conductors are used for the speaker signal to ensure that the inductance, capacitance, and
resistance of the cable are optimal for the servo system.
