GENELEC 6010A/5040A
Genelec (www.genelec.com) has announced its smallest speaker system to date (prices TBA): The 6010A is just 7×4.75×4.5 inches and is designed for computer sound systems, workstations and other close-proximity listening applications requiring a low-profile monitoring solution. The two-way active monitors resemble the cabinet geometry of the company's other recent builds, using a die-cast, all-aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE). Each monitor features a 3-inch bass driver and a ¾-inch tweeter, and boasts a frequency response of 74 to 18k Hz (±2.5 dB). The companion 5040A active subwoofer (pictured) extends the LF response to 35 Hz, and offers volume control of five main input/output channels and a dedicated LFE channel with reproduction bandwidth that's selectable at 35/120 Hz, making it an all-in 5.1 solution with a small footprint.

Two 5-inch, high-sensitivity, direct-radiating cone drivers are loaded with Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide, which is user-adjustable and reportedly improves stereo imaging, increases driver efficiency and reduces distortion and cabinet edge diffraction. At Right Track, four Genelec 1094A subwoofers, each with a single 15-inch driver and 400W amp, provide LF energy down to and below 25 Hz. The 1094A sub features a front-loaded driver for improved passband efficiency and stop-band rejection.

GENELEC 1029A SURROUND SYSTEMS
March 1999—Genelec's smallest surround system ($4,298) uses five 1029A speakers for left front, right front, center, left rear and right rear. Two 1091A subwoofers handle deep bass chores for the whole system; there is no support for the LFE channel with this configuration. A step-up system uses five 1029A speakers, a 1091A sub and a redesigned 1092A subwoofer (dual 8-inch drivers). The 1092A handles deep bass from the left-front, right-front and center speakers, as well as the dedicated LFE matrix output. A single 1091A subwoofer reproduces the bottom octaves for the left-rear and right-rear 1029A pair. This configuration, which will handle more strenuous monitoring chores in larger rooms, has a list price of $5,749. TO READ THE REVIEW, CLICK HERE.
