he Genesis 350 loudspeakers are born of the

same technology as exemplified by our world

famous Genesis | loudspeaker system.
Incorporating planar ribbon drivers for both the
tweeter and the midrange, and amplified servo con
trolled metal cone woofers for the low frequencies,
the Genesis 350 is a direct beneficiary of Genesis |
technology.

The midrange and tweeter sections are dipolar,
meaning that the sound radiates from the front and
the back in a push-pull fashiont Dipoles achieve
their superior performance because they create a
radiation pattern where the energy emanating to the
sides of the speakers is nearly non-existent. With
very little acoustical energy reaching the side walls
of your living room, not only is placement of the
speakers easy but, remarkably, the listener is able to
experience the music unencumbered by the normal
room interactions which plague most other speaker
systems.

The servo woofers produce sound in a bipolar pat-
tern, meaning that the sound radiates from both
front and back in a circular manner. This design
(which displaces the woofers in space) allows for a
more uniform bass response by exciting many differ-
ent modes in the room rather than just one. This
unique incorporation of the two technologies per-
mits the Genesis 350 to take advantage of the
strengths of each.

The Genesis 350 consists of two major modules:
two midrange tweeter screens each containing a 4
foot midrange driver and three 1 inch ribbon tweeti
ers in front with 1 ribbon tweeter in the rear, and an
attached bass enclosure containing 4 eight inch
metal cone sen/o woofers. The woofer system is
powered by a 1500 watt, discrete, remote controlled
servo power amplifier Our highly advanced remote
allows adjustments to amplitude, phase response,
high pass and low pass filters.

Ith a total of 8 eight inch metal (one

woofers, powered by a I500 watt remote

control amplifier, the bass performam e of
the 350 is simply astounding. Servo umtrol of the
woofers is the key factor in their performame. In tra~

ditional woofer systems, heavy, soggy, or boomy
bass is present to some degree because the heavy
mass of each woofer is not controlled. In a servo bass
system, complete control of the woofers is made pos»
sible by the addition of a motion sensor tan accelero-
meter) mounted directly on the woofer itself. Lower
distortion, greater low frequency extension and tight

control yield musical yet floorshaking bass.

Another benefit of the 150's self-amplified woofer sys-
tem is that almost any sized power amplifier may be
used to drive the midrange tweeter panels. No longer
must one choose between having enough power to
adequately drive the woofers and yet maintain the
spatial qualities found in many small power amps. At
four Ohms nominal impedance, the 5505 can be dri-
ven with an amplifier as small as 70 watts per channel
and can safely be used with amplifiers as powerful as
1000 watts per channel.

The unique amalgamation of ribbon driver technolo-
gy. dipole/bipole response and the remote controlled
amplified servo woofer system all combine to create a
truly full range three dimensional musical experience.
