What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Genesis 700 speakers

Genesis 700 Loudspeaker features:
The Genesis 700 is based on much of the same technology as found in Genesis Ireference System
Exceptional dynamic range and off-axis response
1,5" thick MDF front baffle and 1" thick MDF sides with heavy internal bracking
Newly-designed, dual 6,5" shielded metal-cone woofers
Twin 1" shielded circular-ribbon tweeters
Unique 4thorder Linkwitz-Riley phase-correct crossover loaded with custom genesis-designed parts
Designed to be equally at home in pure audio or home theater systems
Users adjustable music/video bass contour and tweeter level controls

The 700 incorporates two technologically-advanced and different driver designs to create its sonic magic. The bass and middle frequencies are handled by two shielded, custon-designed 6,5" long-throw metal-cone woofers, and the higher frequencies are reproduced by a shielded version of our famous 1" circular-ribbon tweeter, one in front and one in the rear.
The 700 can be used in either a horizontal position as a center channel,, or in a vertical mounting on either stands or wall mounts as the front, rear or main channels in a music or home theater system.
The crossover is a two-way, 4th order, Linkwitz-Riley phase-correct design that incorporates custom-wound Genesis capacitors, oxygen-free copper inductors and the finest parts available.
The design, quality of materials, and fit of the cabinet are critical to the performance of any loudspeaker. The 700 is unique in both its performance and its construction. Built from heavily-braced 1'-thick MDF for the sides, a 1,5" thick front baffle, and covered in either black ash or South American rosewood, the 700 can truly lay claim to a no-compromise approach.
Beacuse every room and listening situation is different it is not possible to design a loudspeaker that is perfect for every application. Knowing this, Genesis has continued in our tradition of offering you unmatched flexibility. In the rear of the 700, there are two controls, one for the tweeter level and one for music or video. The tweeter level control allows you to adjust the volume of the tweeter to perfectly match your tastes and your system. The music/video switch in the rear of the 700 allows the bass contour to be optimized for either application.

The Genesis 700 has exceptional dynamic range for a speaker of its size. It is capable of easily handling svral hundred watts of power and producing SPL levels approaching that of live music.
With a Frequency Response essentially flat from 48 Hz to 32 kHz, the 700 is a full-range loudspeaker for all but the lowest frequencies which, if necessary, can be augmented with the addition of a Genesis 900 subwoofer.

One of the most critical aspect of a loudspeaker's performance is the ability to maintain a flat energy response off-axis because we typically listen off-axis. The fact that a speaker is flat (in its acoustic energy output) on-axis is an attribute, but it is not as critical as its off-axis response. Very few loudspeakers ever achieve anything close the the level of smooth off-axis performance built into the 700. in fact, the off axis response of the 700 is so good it is often hard to tell where the speakers are in the room.
