absolute fidelity
Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of
knowledge and experience. The inductors are 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 (not aluminium).
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. For example, by going the more expensive route
of using several smaller capacitors in parallel instead of a single large
one, transparency and musicality were improved.
3.3 Vibration-free Cabinet
The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic
quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity. Extensive
bracing was carefully incorporated using 12mm slabs of MDF to
eliminate cabinet flex and panel resonance.
Incidentally, MDF was chosen as the material of choice for its damping
properties and its consistency in hardness, density and rigidity. It would
actually have been cheaper and easier to make the cabinet of solid
wood, but that would have been a compromise.
Genesis designed a unique tongue
and groove joint in order to improve
the structural rigidity of the cabinet.
Crystalline glue that dissolves into the
MDF was chosen to ensure that the
interfaces between two panel pieces
becomes as one. This results in the
entire enclosure behaving as a single
unit, with seemingly no discontinuity in
material.
This results in a joint so strong that
when you try to rip the joint apart, it
isn’t the joint that would break. The
mdf would break apart first.
