Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of
knowledge and experience. 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.

“magic” that is a Genesis designed loudspeaker system.
The crossover has three electrically separate circuits for the front
tweeters, midrange and rear tweeters. This allows the G1.1 midrange/
tweeter wings to be tri-amplified. However, we stress that three
identical amplifiers with identical loudspeaker cables should be used.

identical amplifiers with identical loudspeaker cables should be used.
The crossover slope between the midrange and tweeter is the
epitome of elegance and simplicity – a six dB per-octave slope which
is absolutely phase linear. This also necessitates that all passive
crossover elements have no shunt components.

Housed in a solid Corian enclosure, the crossover has controls for
upper midrange control and rear-tweeter level for matching room
acoustics.

4.8 Corian™ Baffle, Wings and Bases
One of the great lessons learned in speaker design is the necessity of
rigid enclosures and baffles. Vibrations from any surface on the
speaker can not only cause frequency anomalies, but also time and
phase distortion. Hence, the Genesis 1.1 employs an ultra-rigid Corian
baffle on which to mount the midrange and high-frequency
transducers.

baffle on which to mount the midrange and high-frequency
transducers.
The Corian baffle is then inserted rigidly into a composite base which
forms the foundation for the “wings” of the midrange/tweeter module.
This results in a completely inert baffle from which to launch the
midrange and high-frequency soundwave.

4.9 Summary
The Genesis 1.1 contains the knowledge and experience of over 40
years of loudspeaker design. We believe that no other product in the
market can approximate the sonic realism of the Genesis 1.1.

There are no compromises in this system. It excels at spectral
coherence and accurate harmonic structure. It has the greatest
dynamic range of any high-end reference system. It has superb
macro- and micro-dynamic qualities, unparalleled soundstaging and
very low distortion. It does not limit or favor any kind of music.
