Genesis Next-Generation 2-Series (G2.2) Loudspeaker System

Genesis Next-Generation 2-Series (G2.2) Loudspeaker System

The Genesis 2 version 2 loudspeaker system is the successor of the Genesis 2 released back in 1993. The G2 is a high-end four-tower system featuring separate midrange/tweeter "wings" and servo-controlled woofer towers. This separation allows the mid/high frequency panels to be placed to optimize soundstage and imaging for the listening position, and the bass towers to be placed for smooth and extended bass response within the room.

The G2.2 is equipped with a completely redesigned servo-controlled bass amplifier with an extended bass response down to 16Hz and a new class-D module, as well as the cabinet which incorporates new midrange/tweeter "wings" made of solid cast acrylic and 8-inch woofers with higher displacement and lower distortion. This loudspeaker system boasts awesome characteristics such as a frequency response of 16Hz - 36KHz, a sensitivity of 91dB and 1000W of power handling capability into 4 ohms.

The Genesis 2.2 loudspeaker retails for US$63,000 in High Gloss Black. Other colors of acrylic may be possible on special order. They will be available through authorized Genesis dealers and distributors worldwide.
