cones and the loudspeaker enclosure all work in unison to produce
bass output that descends evenly to below your hearing limits.
500 watt Class D Servo Amplifier
While the advantages of metal cones include extreme stiffness
resulting in very low distortion and break-up, one problem is that of
greater mass. To over come this, Genesis had to build an
amplification system of great wattage, and high damping factor. The
servo system also places extraordinary demands on the amplifier
because the system uses enormous amounts of current to make the
woofer follow the input signal. Combined with the metal cones, this
means that the amplifier used must deliver extraordinarily large
amounts of clean power.
In the Genesis 5, the built-in amplifier was specifically designed and
tuned for low frequencies in order to produce “floorshakingly
musical” bass to power the servo woofers.
One side benefit of this powered woofer system is that almost any
sized amplifier can be used to drive the Genesis 5. No longer must
one choose between having an amplifier with enough power to drive
the woofers, and a smaller amplifier having better spatial and tonal
characters. Nevertheless, we generally recommend 60 watts as a
minimum.
The Acoustic Suspension
The suspension for the speaker comprises three elements:
1) The neoprene vibration absorbers are tuned to isolate and
decouple the loudspeaker cabinet for optimal bass response
no matter what surface the loudspeaker sits on.
If the loudspeakers sound extremely hard and relenting, AND
you have them on extremely hard floors (solid granite, etc), a
set of softer vibration absorbers may be substituted (please
contact us if you need these). If a very resonant floor (such as
if the speakers were to be used on a wooden stage), the
softer absorbers may also be used for further decoupling to
ensure that floor-borne vibrations are not transmitted up into
the loudspeaker.
2) The skeletal frame acts as a tuned absorber. Made of a high
molecular weight acrylic, no two parts of the frame will
