in EVolution.

. Genesis Ill. it is the culmination of an
evolutionary quest for an ever more perfect
loudspeaker. in this case, the results are
revolutionary.

This quest is the driving force behind the
Genesis ill loudspeaker, and the essence of
what we at Genesis are about.

Genesis represents the next evolutionary
era for Arnie Nuoeii, who in 1968 co-founded
another respected name in high-end audio~
infinity Systems, inc. Since his departure in
1989, he has focused on totally rethinking the
basics behind loudspeaker design. Arnie
Nudetl joined forces with another audio
veteran, Paul McGowan. Paul cafeunded PS
Audio, 0 major audio component manufac-
turer, and brings vast engineering and
management skills to the venture.

Together, Arnie and Paul have seen that
every aspect~ every minute factor of speaker
designv has not only been examined, but
intensely evaluated in terms of its contribution
to the whole. The result is a loudspeaker that
evokes incredible audio imagery.

Imagine a precisely-rendered holographic
soundstage, where the musicians are audibiy .
visible Imagine rediscovering your music,
realizing sonic dimensions you never knew
were there. _

Genesis Ill has arrived, redefining the "
sonic landscape.

It will convince you to join this remark-
able evolution.

technology manifested
in evolutionary design.

Genesis III is clearly the next
revolutionary step in the evolution
of the loudspeaker. From the
unernng exactness of its Kevlar/
polypropylene woofers. to the
light, coherent fidelity of the tita-
nium/silicon carbide midrange
dome and the transparent musi-
cality of the exotic planar film/foil
ribbon tweeter, this stunning
5-way tower uniquely blends
technological esoterica with
decisive audio engineering.

complement, critical musical
infonnatlon can be more accu-
rately represented across the
entire audio spectrum. Two tita-
nium/silicon carbide midrange
domes work in concert to extend
the low-frequency crossover point
to 250Hzea tall octave lower
than our respected IM-8300
Imaging Module. Driver response
and overall accuracy is enhanced
in this critical part of the musical
spectrum. Instruments that are
traditionally reproduced by the top
end of the woofer range now
emanate wrth warmth, beauty
and speed from the lower range

pylene construction provides
superior damping and rigidity.
The low-mass design allows the
driver to respond quickly to tran-
sients without added coloration or
distortion.

THE MINIMALIST APPROACH

TO CROSSOVER DESIGN.

Designing a proper crossover
network is tricky business. The
appropriate mix of components
must be carefully integrated and,
to avoid distortion and musical
coloration. the number of ports
must be kept to a minimum.

80 it is with Genesis llls cross-
over. Because the system el-
egantly accomplishes most of its
time shaping via the design and
position of the drivers in the encla
sure, unnecessary crossover
components are avoided.

To accommodate a wide
range of applications, Genesis Ill
loudspeakers have terminals for
both blomplng and bi~wiring, as
well as controls for optimIZing
performance in any listening
environment.
