World-class Bass Extension
Genelec’s 7380A SAM active subwoofer is a powerful and precise bass monitoring tool for up to 7.1 surround systems. With its world-class 16Hz low-frequency extension, high-sound-pressure output capability, and versatile bass management system, the 7380A delivers accurate low-frequency monitoring for all analog and digital applications, such as recording studios, digital workstations, and TV and radio broadcasting facilities. The 7380A incorporates several proprietary technologies, including Genelec’s LSE (Laminar Spiral Enclosure), AutoCal, and the GLM control network. The 15-inch subwoofer is powered by an onboard 800-watt Class D amplifier and employs active crossovers, Intelligent Signal Sensing, and protection circuitry. For powerful, clean deep bass extension with Genelec SAM full-range speakers, Sweetwater highly recommends the 7380A subwoofer.

The LSE bass reflex cabinet
Genelec’s Laminar Spiral Enclosure is made of a sheet metal rolled into a spiral shape and clamped between thick MDF side panels. This new construction technique provides excellent laminar flow characteristics with minimal turbulence noise and enables optimal packing of a very long reflex tube into a small space. The amplifier unit integrated into the cabinet contains active crossover filters and driver overload protection circuits. The inbuilt bass management unit has six signal input and output channels, summed signal output connectors, and LFE input equipped with a +10dB sensitivity switch.
AutoCal and bass management
Genelec’s cutting-edge AutoCal technology automatically aligns every sub for volume, crossover phase, timing, and equalization of room response aberrations. Delivering extended LF performance, accurate tonal reproduction, and robust dynamic capabilities, the 7380A incorporates Genelec’s distributed bass management architecture to handle multichannel low-frequency content. Genelec’s advanced AutoCal technology lets you integrate the 7380A into a film post-production soundstage as easily as a stereo music studio control room.
Genelec Smart technology
Genelec’s Smart subwoofers transform any Smart monitor into full-range “main monitors” to deliver state-of-the-art monitoring accuracy for mission-critical professional applications. Built upon Genelec’s acclaimed 7000 Series Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE) technology, Smart subwoofers offer articulate, high-precision low-frequency reproduction with effortless high dynamic range. Smart subwoofers include a comprehensive multichannel bass management system with variable crossover frequency to the main monitor system and much more.
