GENELEC DISPLAYS 6010A BI-AMPLIFIED ACTIVE SPEAKER
AND 5040A ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
—
The 6010A and 5040A provide the perfect solution for both stereo and
surround sound applications in compact listening areas or on desktops —
CEDIA EXPO, ATLANTA, GA, September 10, 2009
— Genelec Custom Installation Systems displays its smallest speaker
system to date – the 6010A (7 1/8" x 4 3/4" x 4 1/2"). The system has
been designed for computer sound systems and other close proximity
listening applications requiring a low-profile speaker solution. It can
even be plugged directly into personal music players for enhanced
acoustic enjoyment. However, size is no handicap to performance as the
6010A two-way active speaker system incorporates Genelec’s acoustic
design innovations to minimize all forms of distortion.
Designed
as an active loudspeaker, the 6010A contains proprietary drivers,
advanced power amplifiers perfectly matched to the drivers, active
crossover filters and protection circuitry. The 6010A has a die-cast
all-aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™), which features
large internal volumes, softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical
strength. As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension
from such a compact enclosure is truly astounding.
The 6010A
also incorporates Genelec’s advanced Directivity Control Waveguide™
(DCW™), which provides an amazingly smooth on- and off-axis response,
while the long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent
bass articulation.
Each speaker features a 3" bass driver along
with a 3/4" high frequency driver loaded into a new Genelec advanced
Directivity Control Waveguide. The free field frequency response is 74
Hz - 18 kHz (±2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output per pair with music
material is 102 dB. Bass and treble drivers are each powered by 12-Watt
amplifiers.
The 6010A is magnetically shielded for use in
environments where video monitors are in close proximity. Additionally,
the 6010A has a hard-wearing painted outer surface available in black,
white or silver finish.
Genelec 5040A Active Subwoofer
The
new Genelec 5040A subwoofer provides a perfect partner to the 6010A for
both stereo and surround applications. Featuring a visually arresting
design, the 5040A extends the LF response down to 35 Hz with amazing
bass articulation. The playback level for the whole system is
conveniently controlled by remote volume control provided with the
5040A subwoofer. With five main input/output channels and a dedicated
LFE channel with 35/120 Hz reproduction bandwidth selection, the
6010A/5040A system fulfills the needs of 5.1 productions.
The
5040A is designed to complement up to five of Genelec’s 6010A active
speakers in stereo and surround applications, or a pair of the slightly
larger 6020A’s in a stereo configuration. The subwoofer features a
single 6 1/2" proprietary driver with a 40-Watt power amplifier. It has
a frequency response from 35-85 Hz (±3 dB), and the ability to deliver
a short-term sine wave of 96 dB SPL. The built-in crossover unit
features six RCA input connectors for five main channels and LFE
channel and five RCA output connectors for the 6010A loudspeakers. The
main channels have a fixed high pass filter to work with the Genelec
6010A while the LFE channel can reproduce signals up to 120Hz. 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 combination with
adjustable crossover phase, allows a seamless integration between the
5040A subwoofer and the main speakers. Bass roll-off rate and input
sensitivity can also be adjusted to suit different acoustical
environments and subwoofer positions. Like all Genelec active
subwoofers, the 5040A also features extremely low distortion.
Genelec’s
6010A Bi-Amplified Active Speaker and the 5040A Active Subwoofer are
now available with pricing (U.S. MSRP) as follows:
6010A Bi-Amplified Active Speakers: $375.00 each
5040A Active Subwoofer: $750.00
