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 201 loudspeakers

The Genesis 201 loudspeaker system was created for those discriminating music lovers who know no compromises. This state of the art. System is designed to reproduce music at live listening levels with virtually no restrictions on dynamic range, frequency response or imaging capabilities.

 

The Genesis 201 is a floor standing four-piece loudspeaker system featuring a pair of dipole midrange/tweeter panel consists of a 48-inch midrange ribbon, twelve front-firing and three rear-firing 1-inch planar ribbon tweeters. Each woofer tower contains eight cast-frame, metal-cone woofers driven by an 800-watt remote controlled Servo Amplifier. 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 possibly "the world's best", is hand-crafted from an 0,0005inch 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 human 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 accelerometers as sensors, lowers the woofer distortion by a factor of 10 compared to its open loop response. This results in the 201 low frequency system having lower distortion and laster response time than conventional designs.
