G-928
When finesse meets brute force. When there is a need for power handled with decorum and delicacy, the Genesis G-928 - Servo-Subwoofer comes through. Genesis G-928 excels in delivering prodigious output capability with unparalleled delicacy and articulation in an enclosure small enough to be virtually invisible, even in the most austerely furnished room.
Perhaps the greatest impediment to fully enjoying a subwoofer's contribution with both music and film sources lies in how the woofer system mates with a variety of wide range loudspeakers. The G-928 accomplishes this task with ease. It is distinctly designed to perform equally well in high-impact home theaters as well as music systems that demand subtlety and precision. Combining first-rate musicality and exceptional delivery with bottom-end solidity and power.
Technical Details
The Genesis G928 - Servo-Subwoofer was created using several refined technologies -- servo-controlled, metal cone drivers and efficient, hyper-linear switching (Class D) amplification --- which makes it able to accurately and instantaneously reproduce the subtleties of a bowed double bass or the shuddering footfalls of an angry T-Rex.
In contrast to the comparatively heavy and "Lossy" materials used in almost all other woofer cones, the G928's dual 12" drivers are made of lightweight yet inherently stiff metal. Thanks in part to massive magnet structures and long-throw voice coil assemblies, these precisely contoured cones are free of the transient-blurring artifacts imposed by lesser materials. With greater radiating area than even a 15" driver, the dual 12" cones respond instantly to input signals to reveal details often obscured by heavier, less responsive designs. Also, they can deliver surprisingly substantial volume levels when needed.
The G928 adds the latest iteration of technology refined by Genesis and long acknowledged by critical listeners as essential to accurate bass reproduction, Servo control.
A precise yet lightweight accelerometer continuously monitors motion and sends a signal to high-speed circuitry that compares actual cone movement to the input signal. The comparison circuit instantly identifies any deviation from ideal response and instantaneously adds a corrective signal to compensate for any deviation from the input signal even when they include complex, rapidly evolving musical bass lines or artificial effects created to enhance your viewing pleasure. The G928 technology guarantees earth-shaking bass coupled with stunning articulation.
The G928's proprietary and ultra-efficient discrete MOSFET switching amplifier is a prime example of power's intelligent application in the service of sonic subtlety. With output capability up to a full kilowatt, the G928's Class D design provides extraordinary control and exceptional thermal stability even when playing the most demanding sources continuously at high volume. A fully adjustable low pass filter and volume control allows precise selection of optimum settings for level matching and accurate integration with any music or home theater system.
Reviews
On 6moons.com, reviewer John Potis paired the G928 with various speakers including ones priced over $17,000 per pair and got "wicked good performance" and pronounced the G928 much better suited to reproducing bass than the speakers themselves.

When Dagogo Editor Constantine Soo added the G928 to the $40k Audio Note SEC Signature, it resulted in "a sonic picture of enormous scale", finding that "the music would become lacking" when the G928 was switched off.
