GENELEC OFFERS THE AIWS5041A ACTIVE IN-WALL SUBWOOFER
AS PART OF ITS RANGE OF ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS
CEDIA EXPO, ATLANTA, GA, September 10, 2009
— Genelec Inc., the pioneer in Active Monitoring technology for over
three decades, offers home theater and custom installers the most
advanced active speaker solutions with its line of discreet, low
profile models. A particular example is the AIWS5041A Active In-Wall
Subwoofer, which, along with other leading Genelec models such as the
AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker, the AIC25 Active In-Ceiling
Loudspeaker and the AOW312 Active On-Wall Loudspeaker, constitutes
Genelec’s range of architectural solutions. Each model is designed to
meet the needs of the custom installer and underscores Genelec’s
ongoing commitment to the high-end home theater and custom installation
market.
The AIWS5041A is Genelec’s first active in-wall
subwoofer, and like all Genelec Custom Installation products, it offers
the unmatched performance and uncompromising sound quality for which
Genelec has been known for over 30 years. Equipped with a pair of 6_"
drivers and a tuned port, it can be mounted in any standard 16" stud
bay. Using four independent mounting brackets, the enclosure is
completely isolated from the wall surfaces, eliminating any potential
vibration from being transmitted to the walls. A protective cover
shields the drivers from potential damage during the construction phase
of a project. The system includes a rack-mountable RAM3 amplifier that
supplies 125 Watts of power.
Genelec AIWS5041A Active In-Wall Subwoofer Features:
Maximum sound pressure level: 105 dB

Genelec
also offers contractors and custom installers the AIW25 Active In-Wall
Loudspeaker, the AIC25 Active In-Ceiling Loudspeaker and the AOW312
Active On-Wall Loudspeaker.
The AIW25 and the AIC25 supply the
ultimate in design integration. Each features perfectly matched,
separate RAM2 remote amplifier modules. An optional 4U high RAM Rack
Adaptor can accommodate up to eight RAM2 or RAM3 amplifiers. The AIW25
and AIC25 each come complete with a metal enclosure to maximize
performance and ease of installation. New construction brackets are
also available. In addition, the AIW25 employs Genelec’s proprietary
Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™), which ensures excellent stereo
imaging and frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments.
The
AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker is a two-way active speaker with a 5"
bass driver and 3/4" treble driver (metal dome) equipped with Genelec’s
DCW. It also features a RAM2 remote amplifier module, which includes
active crossover circuitry and separate, matched 40 Watt power
amplifiers for the bass and treble drivers. The AIW25 has a frequency
response of 70 Hz-18 kHz (+/-2.5 dB) and a maximum peak SPL of ≥100 dB.
Its dimensions are 14 3/16" H x 10 1/2" W x 4 3/32" D. In addition,
visible parts of the loudspeaker can be painted to suit the listening
environment. The AIW25 fits into a standard 2 x 4" wall structure and
can easily be retrofitted to existing construction. This speaker is
ideal in demanding applications, such as the main L-C-R array of a
small home theater system, a basic stereo configuration or the surround
channels of a high quality home theater.
The AIC25 Active
In-Ceiling Loudspeaker is a two-way active loudspeaker with 5" bass
driver and 3/4" treble driver (metal dome). It also features a RAM2
remote amplifier module, which includes active crossover circuitry and
separate, matched 40 Watt power amplifiers for the bass and treble
drivers. The AIC25 has a frequency response of 70 Hz-18 kHz (+/-2.5 dB)
and a maximum peak SPL of ≥100 dB. Its dimensions are 11 3/16" W
(diameter) x 6 3/16" D. In addition, visible surfaces of the
loudspeaker can be painted to suit the listening environment. The AIC25
delivers low distortion and high sound pressure handling capabilities
in a discrete yet powerful package ideal for use in home theater
installations.
The AOW312B Active On-Wall Loudspeaker measures
up to Genelec’s renowned performance standards at less than 7" deep for
easy aesthetic integration. This speaker was designed to serve two
types of environments: surrounds for large scale rooms (>9000 cubic
feet) where HT324A or larger mains speakers are used, as well as the
front wall for smaller rooms (5000 to 8000 cubic feet) where space
behind the screen and the wall are limited. The AOW312B is a three-way
active speaker with a 12" woofer, 5" midrange (DCW-equipped) and 1"
metal dome tweeter. It also features a remote amplifier housed in a 19"
x 7U remote amp rack. Each amplifier provides 180 Watts for the woofer,
120 Watts for the midrange and 120 Watts for the tweeter. The AOW312B
has an exceptionally wide frequency response of 37 Hz-21 kHz (+/-2 dB)
and a maximum peak SPL of ≥123 dB. Its dimensions are 59 1/16" H x 15
