Thus, the servo-drive reduces distortion and improves transient 
response by making the woofer appear to be massless. Typical 
non-servo woofer systems have distortion levels that exceed 10% 
at even moderate levels. The Genesis servo bass system reduces 
this distortion to below one percent at almost any output level. The 
system also drives the woofer to constant acceleration, which 
makes the frequency response of the woofer anechoically flat to 
the lowest frequencies. 

The Servo-controlled Woofers 

The transducer used in a servo system must be strong enough to 
withstand the high current approach of the servo, and yet delicate 
and light enough to react extremely quickly. The G2

jr

 features two 

side-firing 12-inch 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.  

The woofers are a uniquely designed metal cone driver made for 
the Genesis servo system. Made with a cone of solid aluminium, 
the suspension and voicecoil have been maximized for long 
distortion-free excursion so as to increase dynamic range. Our 
aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than any plastic cone on 
the market, and virtually eliminate the problems caused by cone 
bending and break-up. 

The lowest break-up mode in the woofer (where there can be any 
chance of distortion at all) is at 4,000Hz 

– far above the 16Hz to 

120Hz frequency range that these drivers operate at. Therefore, 
the driver is a perfect piston within the frequencies used. Thus, 
extremely low cone break-up distortion is inherent in the driver that 
is designed for the Genesis servo-bass system. 

A pair of matched woofers is horizontally mounted on a cabinet that 
is de-coupled from the rest of the structure of the loudspeaker. This 
ensures that any vibration generated by the woofers are not 
transmitted to the midrange and tweeters. The woofers are also 
horizontally opposed and in phase with one another. This means 
that the vibrations generated by one woofer cancels out the 
vibrations generated by the other woofer 

– further reducing any 

image-distorting vibrations in the loudspeaker.
