The Long Lasting Experience
For 28 years Genelec, a Finnish active monitoring company, has been
developing high quality audio monitoring equipment. Based on customer
feedback and needs, Genelec’s R&D team’s technical ambition has led to several
key technologies over the years, refined to products that have set the benchmark
in active monitoring; from the largest main monitors to the smallest two-way
systems, as well as a complete range of subwoofers. Maintaining this wide
offering is a formidable task, which has given Genelec challenges and ultimately
a lot of experience. The benefit for every one of Genelec’s customers is precision
tools to rely on.
Our products are made for demanding professional use. They reveal the original
nuances of the sound, without leaving anything out from or adding anything to the
signal in any stage of the production. For many of our friends this continues to be
the main reason for trusting Genelec.
Genelec active speakers are made to last, with pride and care by our own
production staff in Finland. Many of the company’s first products continue to
deliver the experience, and we continue our commitment to provide service and
spare parts for all products for at least ten years after the discontinuation of
production.
In 2004 we renewed our three smallest two-ways by introducing the 8000 MDE™
Series with three totally new active monitoring loudspeakers. The series is
now complemented with an even smaller monitor, the 8020A, a fully-featured
true Genelec 8000 Series product. Since this time two of our LSE™ Series
subwoofers, the 7050B and 7060B have been upgraded, ready for full-bandwidth
multi-channel operations.
In 2006 Genelec is proud to introduce its first DSP/networked loudspeaker
systems in the 8200 two-ways and matching 7200 LSE™ subwoofers. These
new products incorporate new technologies of digital signal processing, Genelec
Loudspeaker Manager™ setup and installation software and AutoCal™
automated filter calibration algorithm. They exemplify Genelec’s continued
commitment to all customers who rely on purity of sound reproduction.
Years go by and technology evolves. What stays the same is the inspiration to
achieve something valuable and lasting. This is something unique and precious in
life. You will always remember what you did with your first pair of Genelecs, and
you will do a lot more.

8000 MDETM Series Two-Way
Active Monitors
Typical applications of Genelec two-way active monitors include near-field monitoring
in recording studios, broadcast and surround installations, mastering suites, post-
production houses, mobile production vehicles, project/home studios, audio and
video workstations, installations and surround sound monitoring.
The 8000 MDETM Series introduced the Minimum Diffraction EnclosureTM with its
rounded edges that curve gently and seamlessly into the shape of the Advanced
DCWTM waveguide and the new rear-mounted reflex tube. Made of die-cast
aluminium, the 8000 Series enclosures offer excellent damping and sturdy structure,
yet with thin walls and maximised internal volume. The long, curved reflex tube is
flow optimised to increase the woofer’s low frequency extension and SPL capacity.
New technology drivers combined with carefully designed filters provide improved
resolution and minimum listening fatigue over the entire audio spectrum. Every
Genelec 8000 Series monitor comes with a rubber based Iso-PodTM (Isolation
Positioner/DecouplerTM) which prevents coloration caused by conduction of unwanted
vibration to the mounting surfaces. The Iso-PodTM also has adjustable speaker tilt for
precise aiming of the acoustical axis.

Active Subwoofers With Genelec Active Subwoofers you can extend the low frequency response of your
main monitors in stereo and surround sound applications. The 7050B can handle 5.1
monitoring with the 8020A, and the larger subs have Genelec’s proprietary 6.1 bass
management system, which also allows linking several subwoofers together with a
summed output signal. The dedicated LFE input can be configured for different LFE
reproduction bandwidths in all models. The frequency response of the upgraded
7060B now reaches down to 19 Hz, making it a truly formidable companion for the
8030A or 8040A.
The 7050B, 7060B, 7070A and 7071A utilize Genelec’s patented LSETM (Laminar
Spiral EnclosureTM) technology. The spiral-shaped design yields an extremely rigid
enclosure while forming the subwoofer’s integral reflex port. The flow-optimized
design provides an extended LF capacity, low distortion and accurate bass
articulation. In the 7073A flagship subwoofer, the proprietary and innovative reflex
tube is housed in a rugged enclosure particularly suited for flush mounting.
