Genius speakers - those who can listen

Not so rare, the acoustic line is replenished with new representatives - the Genius speakers enter the market at regular intervals once a year (in fairly large series). Recently appeared very worthy models with rounded outlines (apparently, as a claim to the design of Apple). However, users are interested in the eternal classics, like the two models that will be described in this article (based on the personal experience of the author).

The whole secret of the rush is that the Genius speakers have not only proven sound quality, but recognizable streamlined shapes. Designers of this company manage to impress consumers' imagination with something new, but necessarily qualitative. So Genius products rightfully belong to the leaders of consumer preferences (prices are acceptable).

Model SP-HF2020

These columns Genius will decorate not only the table and the technical corner, but also the luxurious interior in the classical style, since they are made in a case made of natural wood. Someone says that the sound of wooden devices is as deep and organic as if a favorite melody was playing live on the guitar. To some, on the contrary, it seems that natural materials have the property of dampening or drying out, thereby threatening the quality of sound. The dispute is easily completed with one recommendation: take care of the technique, as for your favorite car. Accordingly, and the pleasure from its use will increase.

So, the wooden columns of the Genius are of considerable size (in a row there are four round-shaped speakers in a row). With the increase in dimensions, the coverage of the sound space also grows. This speaker has a built-in equalizer, a sound processor DSP and several effects. The sound really turns out enveloping, warm, good clarity, especially - at the middle frequency with deep vocals.

The basic equipment includes a remote control, and the system itself is equipped with two analog RCA and 3.5 mm ports.

Model SP-HF 2.0 1250

Reflecting light glossy facade of a wooden case with a varnished coating - that's what the speakers for the Genius computer of this model can boast of. Elegant and stylish, they look expensive and luxurious! The sound quality meets the highest demands. Three models are made in different colors. The smallest product (SP-HF 2.0 500) is single-band - while the two "older sisters" have two loudspeaker bands.

The walls of the columns are quite impressive, without an internal sound absorber - their thickness reaches 12 mm. In order to preserve the original appearance and consumer characteristics as long as possible, the lower part of the products is equipped with rubber pads.

In the acoustic arsenal of technology there is a bass reflex, and also diffusers (2.5 cm and 12 cm in diameter). The front panel of the speakers is equipped with control buttons, headphone jack, power indicator. This is convenient - you do not need to rotate the speakers every time.

At the middle frequencies of Genius, the speakers sound quite plausible, clean, only with a slightly clamped top area. It's only on the "tops" that "sand" noise is heard, however, it is almost imperceptible (hardly high waves occupy more than 10% of the total flow). Low frequencies generally do not cause censures. In general, the "ensemble" plays on 4.5 out of 5. And, given the democratic price, these minor shortcomings can be considered completely insignificant!
