FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GENELEC OFFERS EXTRAORDINARY SONIC DIMENSION
WITH 6020A/5050A SYSTEM
CEDIA EXPO, DENVER, CO, September 6, 2007 — Genelec Inc.,
displays the compact 6020A two-way active speaker and 5050A active subwoofer,
advancing playback standards in this speaker size category. The 6020A
and 5050A combination delivers a high impact listening experience in
a variety of applications including intimate home theaters, multi-media/gaming
rooms and smaller surround sound environments.
The Genelec 6020A — a “little”
speaker with a “big” attitude
The Genelec 6020A bi-amplified active speaker is the smallest Genelec
speaker to date. All forms of distortion have been minimized in its
design that features Genelec’s proprietary die-cast aluminum Minimum
Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™) technology. The imaging accuracy
and low frequency extension achieved with such an extremely compact
enclosure are completely unique. Employing Genelec’s innovative
Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) the 6020A has an amazingly
flat on- and off-axis response, while its long, curved reflex port ends
in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.
The 6020A incorporates a 4" bass driver along with a 3/4"
metal dome tweeter loaded into a Genelec DCW. The free field frequency
response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz (± 2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output
per pair with music material is =95 dB at 1 m. The woofer and tweeter
are each powered by 20 Watt amplifiers.
The Genelec 5050A Active Subwoofer — the
perfect companion
The new Genelec 5050A Active subwoofer is the ideal partner to the 6020A,
supplying a powerful, 3-channel bass-managed, wide bandwidth subwoofer
solution for both stereo and surround sound applications. The 5050A
subwoofer is equipped with one active magnetically shielded 8"
driver, mounted on the front side of a compact cabinet, and two 8"
passive radiators, one on each side of the cabinet. A 70 Watt amplifier
unit is integrated into the 5050A and the unit has a frequency response
from 26 Hz – 120 Hz (± 3 dB). The 5050A also has the ability
to deliver a short-term sine wave of =99 dB SPL and like all Genelec
active subwoofers, the 5050A features extremely low distortion. In addition,
XLR and RCA line level input connectors (with input sensitivity) provide
easy connection to all types of decoders, as well as a Link Out connector,
which allows coupling two or more subwoofers together when higher sound
pressure levels are required.
The Genelec 6020A/5050A system - the perfect compact yet
powerful solution for stereo or surround reproduction.
