Genelec 5040A User manual

The Genelec 5040A is a very compact
active subwoofer designed to complement
up to five Genelec 6010A active loud-
speakers or a pair of the slightly bigger
6020A’s. The 5040A extends the system’s
bass response down to 35 Hz and inte-
grates perfectly with the 6010A’s in any
environment. The playback level for the
whole system is conveniently controlled
by the remote volume control provided
with the 5040A subwoofer.
The 5040A features a magnetically
shielded downward firing 61/2” bass driver
attached to a die-cast aluminium base plate.
The base plate also serves as the chassis
for the 40 Watt amplifier and 5.1-channel
crossover filter circuitry The 5040A packs
a respectable punch of 96 dB maximum
SPL.
The built-in crossover unit features six
RCA input connectors for five main chan-
nels and LFE channel and five RCA output
connectors for the 6010A loudspeakers.
The main channels have a fixed high pass
filter to work with with Genelec 6010A
loudspeakers.The LFE channel can repro-
duce signals up to 120 Hz. In addition to
the RCA connectors, a 3.5 mm stereo jack
input connector is provided for convenient
connection to portable audio players or
computers.
Adjustable input sensitivity in combi-
nation with adjustable crossover phase
allows a seamless integration between
the subwoofer and the main loudspeakers.
Bass roll-off rate and input sensitivity can
also be adjusted to suit different acoustical
environments and subwoofer positioning.
Finding the correct place for the sub-
woofer is easy due to the compact size
and versatile acoustical adjustments of
the 5040A.
A combination of the 5040A and five
6010A’s can create a dynamic and
detailed soundstage like no other loud-
speaker system of the same size category.
