Active Subwoofer by Genelec

Genelec 7060 Active Subwoofer is powerful and precise bass monitoring tool for modern 6.1 or 5.1 channel Surround Sound or traditional stereo systems. With its 29 Hz lower cut-off frequency, high sound pressure output capability and versatile bass management systems, it can be adapted to all low frequency monitoring situations.

The amplifier unit integrated into the cabinet contains active crossover filters, driver overload protection circuits and power amplifiers. The in-built bass management unit has six signal input and output channels, summed signal output connectors and LFE input equipped with a selectable 85/120 Hz lowpass filter and a 0 / +10dB LFE sensitivity switch.

The Genelec Laminar Spiral Enclosure™ (LSE™) bass reflex cabinet is made of a sheet metal rolled into a spiral shape and clamped between thick MDF side panels. This new construction technique provides excellent laminar flow characteristics with minimal turbulence noise and enables an optimal packing of a very long reflex tube into a small space.

The electro-acoustic demands placed on subwoofers over the last decade have increased substantially to the point where traditional design concepts are no longer valid. Thus, it is incumbent for industry leaders to take bold initiatives in order to achieve the absolute best performance possible. Drawing on years of acoustic research and knowledge, Genelec's engineering group accepted the challenges placed upon them. The totally unique, curvilinear shape of the LSE Series Active Subwoofer enclosure is the revolutionary patent-pending result of their efforts.

The spiral-shaped design yields an extremely rigid enclosure exterior while also forming the subwoofer's integral port. The fact that one is part of the other means that air flow in and out of the enclosure's interior through the port is totally unrestricted. This results in an extraordinarily accurate and responsive low-frequency system with measured second and third harmonic distortion levels typically better than 30 dB below the fundamental.

When combined with the Genelec stereo and 6.1 bass management active electronics, the LSE Series Subwoofers offer a low-frequency listening experience unlike any other.
