Genesis Advanced Technologies, manufacturer of legendary
high-end two-channel audiophile loudspeaker systems, announced the release of
the Genesis 6.1c Center Channel audiophile loudspeaker. Designed as the focus of
the Genesis 6.1 absolute surround™ multi-channel audio system, the G6.1c is also
designed for use in L/C/R configurations for three-channel playback, and as a
stereo pair. Compatible with all Genesis two-channel systems, the G6.1c has the
same voice and superior dipole performance that is absolute fidelity™.
 Paired
with the ServoSub™ 4/8 subwoofer, the G6.1c offers full-frequency reproduction
from 20Hz to 36kHz. “This is like the Swiss Army Knife of speakers,” stated Dave
Firestone, VP, Sales & Marketing. “The G6.1c is a full-dipole speaker system
whose size and form factor allows it to be used in a number of applications –
center, surround, or left and right.”
As a center speaker, the G6.1c can be placed above or below a video screen, or
behind a projection screen. Placed against the wall, the rear-firing dipole
tweeter can be switched off. Reconfiguring the G6.1c is simple. “We designed the
G6.1c with a rotatable Corian® baffle to which the midrange driver and ribbon
tweeter are mounted,” explained Gary Leonard Koh, Managing Director and
Industrial Designer. “In 45 degree increments, one can position the mid/tweeter
package for optimal imaging in any application you choose. Hence, the speaker
can be positioned either vertically or horizontally for the application that you
choose.”
The G6.1c uses the same driver complement as the G6.1 two-channel audiophile
speaker system. “It was critical to have the same voice for a center channel
speaker that we created for our left/right pair,” said Arnie Nudell, Genesis
Chief Scientist. “The G6.1c utilizes our exclusive 1” ribbon tweeter, titanium
midrange and aluminum mid-bass couplers; the same driver complement that gives
our G6.1 speakers such astounding performance, staging and imaging.” Drivers are
managed by a classic Arnie Nudell crossover design featuring custom-made Relcaps
and Genesis-designed iron-core and air-core inductors.
Careful attention was paid to the industrial design of the G6.1c. “Subtle visual
cues were manipulated in the design of the cabinet to slim its appearance and
enhance its beauty”, said Koh. “Our goal was to design a speaker that would
enhance any décor. Further, we selected various wood veneers from mission-style
olive burl to classic rosewood, as well as ultra-modern automotive and custom
paint finishes. The result is an audiophile work of art.”
“The G6.1c is such a capable speaker that we believe it will find a home in many
systems; as an unparalleled center channel speaker, as monopole surrounds, and
as an entry-level Genesis stereo pair”, stated Firestone.
The G6.1c Center channel speaker retails for $2,800 – $3,400, depending on
finish, and is available through authorized Genesis dealers and distributors
worldwide. Complete specifications for the G6.1c can be found at
