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.
