3.3 Vibration-free Cabinet
The cabinet was designed for aesthetics, but with an obsession to sonic
quality, vibration control, structural strength and rigidity.
In some parts of the cabinet where vibration would have been the
greatest, 1½ inches (36mm) of multi-layer bonded MDF was used to
provide damping, structural integrity and a rigid platform for the drivers to
be located. 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 the 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.
