absolute fidelity
ribbon/electrostatic designs, without the high distortion and poor
dispersion that is typically associated with them.
The G7.1c uses two of these tweeters per channel. One is front-firing
and the other rear-firing; wired to the crossover out of phase to the front
tweeter, creating a dipole.

Titanium Mid-Woofer
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.
The G7.1c uses a Genesis-designed proprietary 6 inch solid titanium-
coned transducer 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 G7.1c
to sound lifelike and effortless.
The stiffness of the titanium cone also allows Genesis to use this as a
woofer – hence, mid-woofer. It retains its low distortion, even on long
throw application needed in delivering the lower frequencies. Hence, the
solid titanium cone allows Genesis to develop a driver that is exemplary
in the midrange, as well as deliver the heft and impact of a woofer.

Crossover
We believe that the crossover is the brain of the loudspeaker. In order to
manage and maximize the performance of the extensive complement of
transducers used in Genesis loudspeakers, we spend more money on
the crossover than many other manufacturers put in their entire speaker.
Each crossover is designed by computer modelling plus years of
knowledge and experience. The inductors are custom 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. The crossover of each G7.1c weighs over five pounds
(2.2kg)! L/C tuning is employed to extract the most bass out of the small
cabinet.
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.
