Technological Leadership
For more than four decades, Genelec has remained at the bleeding edge of active loudspeaker development and technology. It works tirelessly to understand the needs of consumers and deliver products to match. Doing this requires nonstop innovation and research to align with Genelec’s commitment to science and design principles. The company’s success is a direct result of their deep knowledge of the active loudspeaker market and human behavior, which only increases the products’ value to the customer.
Heritage
Heritage is important, especially when designing products for the most demanding customers in the world. Luckily, Genelec’s long history of researching and designing audio technology traces back to the company’s origin. Quality is paramount; every Genelec product is engineered to deliver incredible sound for decades. In fact, Genelec continues to support its oldest legacy models. No matter what model you choose, Genelec ensures that it continues to perform reliably and bring you joy for many years to come. Listening to the customer and understanding their needs is one of the most important reasons for Genelec’s existence.
Sustainability
Sustainable development and manufacturing are some of the most important things an ethical company can do. For Genelec, that means that sustainability is treated with the same importance as the quality of their speakers and profitability. Achieving greater sustainability involves caring for the people, the environment, the supply chain, and how the company’s designs are developed. Long design lifecycles, support for the circular economy, and monitoring its environmental impact are just a few of the ways Genelec practices sustainability. Their passion for lowering their environmental impact is backed up by their adherence to the highest international sustainability standards.
Classic Active Monitors and Subwoofers
8000-series 2-way active nearfield monitors and 7000-series subwoofers are built to help mixing engineers make more consistent mixes. They accomplish this feat by combining true-to-life sound, room-correction features, and conventional analog connectivity. All 8000-series models leverage a combination of cabinet, driver, and electronic design elements that enable a wide sweet spot totally free of coloration. This speeds up your workflow and helps you make accurate and reliable mix decisions every time. And because Genelec knows that every room has unique acoustic properties, the 8000-series monitors have simple rear-panel room correction switches that tailor the sound to fit your studio. Finally, 7000-series active subwoofers supply tight and controlled low-frequency extension with next to no distortion. 7000-series subwoofers have onboard bass management that allows them to work hand-in-hand with 8000-series monitors to deliver a bass response you can really trust.
Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) Systems
What really sets Genelec apart is their proprietary Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) technology. SAM monitors and subwoofers employ GLM calibration software to deliver true reference monitoring for any room and listening application — even in challenging acoustic environments. So how does it work? Each SAM monitor and subwoofer comes with advanced DSP circuitry. That DSP integrates with GLM software and a reference microphone to analyze your acoustic environment and optimize each SAM-equipped monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover, and room response. And that’s just scratching the surface of what these monitors can do. By minimizing your room’s sonic influence, SAM monitors and subwoofers help music makers deliver accurate and consistent mixes that translate everywhere. From mono to immersive, there’s no other family of studio monitors that are as consistent and scalable as Genelec Smart Active Monitoring systems.
