201

he Genesis 201 is a fl oor standing,
four-piece loudspeaker system featur-

ing a pair of dipole midrange/tweeter pan-
els and two bi-polar woofer towers. Each
midrange/tweeter panel consists of a 48-
inch midrange ribbon, twelve front-fi ring
and three rear-fi ring 1-inch planar ribbon
tweeters. Each woofer tower contains eight
cast-frame, metal-cone woofers driven by
an 800-watt remote controlled Servo Am-
plifi er. All the transducers in this unique,

state-of-the-art system have been
designed to be a nearly perfect piston
within its useable frequency band.

The 1-inch planar ribbon tweeter,

described by the audiophile press as pos-
sibly “the world’s best,” is hand-crafted
from an 0.0005 inch thick laminated membrane of
aluminum and Kapton. The extremely low mass of
the tweeter’s diaphragm means that this driver has a

frequency response considerably beyond the hu-
man hearing range.

Genesis 201’s midrange transducer is single-

piece, planar ribbon driver constructed of a very
thin layer of aluminum laminated to a 0.001 inch
thick Mylar substrate and surrounded by over 24
feet of barium ferrite magnets.

An active 1600-watt servo feedback system,

employing acceler-
ometers as sensors,
lowers the woofer
distortion by a fac-
tor of 10 compared
to its open loop
response. This re-
sults in the 201 low
frequency system

having lower distortion
and faster response
time than convention-
al designs.
