3 The Technology used
3.1 The Transducers
The transducers in the 3-way G6.1sr are all proprietary Genesis-
designed drivers manufactured to our exacting standards:

3.1.1 The Genesis Ribbon Tweeter
Reviewers in the audiophile press have often remarked that the Genesis
circular ribbon tweeter is the world’s best. It is a one inch circular planar
ribbon design crafted from an extremely thin membrane of Kapton

a photo-etched aluminium “voice coil” that is a mere 0.0005 inch thick.
The entire radiating structure has less mass than the air in front of it!
That is why it will accurately reproduce frequencies beyond 36 kHz.

That is why it will accurately reproduce frequencies beyond 36 kHz.
The result of this design is a driver that has a rapid and uniform
response to high frequencies and has the speed of the best
ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor
dispersion that is typically associated with them.

The G6.1sr uses three of these tweeters per channel, one on each of
the front three faces. In monopole mode, only the front tweeter is
employed. In dipole mode, the front tweeter is switched off, and the
tweeters on the two side faces are turned on but out of phase to one
another.

3.1.2 Titanium
Midrange
We sometimes say that the midrange is a window into the mind of a
composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the “magic” is
in a well-recorded musical event.
composer or a singer. And indeed, the midrange is where the “magic” is
in a well-recorded musical event.
The G6.1sr uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 5 inch titanium-coned
midrange to cover this critical frequency spectrum. Manufactured out of
one of the lightest and stiffest materials known, this low mass cone
driver is one of the best midrange transducers ever made, with nearly
instantaneous transient response, enabling the G6.1sr to sound lifelike
and effortless.

3.1.3 Aluminum-cone
Woofers
The G6.1c incorporates two 6.5 inch metal cone woofers. Made of a
cone of solid aluminium, the suspension and voice-coil have been
maximized for long, distortion-free excursion so as to increase dynamic
range. Our aluminium cones are a magnitude stiffer than plastic or
