MONITORS
The Genelec 1038A is a three-way active monitoring system including loudspeaker drivers, speaker enclosure, multiple power amplifiers and active, low signal level crossovers. Designed for medium sized control rooms this system is ideal for project studios, film and video post-production and broadcast monitoring. CD mastering is also tailored for, where broad bandwidth, high SPL's and extended low frequency response are essential. The 1038A is designed to perform well both as a free-standing monitor and flush mounted into the control room wall. The unique Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) Technology used provides excellent stereo imaging and frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments. The fast, low distortion amplifiers are capable of driving the stereo system to peak output levels in excess of 124 dB SPL at 2 m with program signals. Versatile crossover controls allow for precise matching of the speaker system to different acoustic conditions. The system can be used both in vertical and horizontal orientation by simply rotating the DCW unit.
AMPLIFIERS
The bass, midrange and treble amplifiers each produce 400W, 120W and 120W, respectively of short term power with very low THD and IM distortion. Special attention has been paid to electronic design to ensure the highest subjective sound quality currently possible. The system incorporates special circuitry for drivers overload protection.
Thermal protection is also included for the amplifiers
DRIVERS
The bass frequencies are reproduced by a 385 mm (15") bass driver loaded with a 110 liters vented box. The -3dB point is 33 Hz and the low frequency response extends down to 29 Hz (-6 dB). The midrange frequencies are reproduced by a proprietary 130 mm (5") direct radiating cone driver loaded with a DCW. The high frequency driver is a 25mm (1") metal dome also loaded by a DCW. A factory-installed magnetic shielding option is available for applications where magnetic stray field must be minimized
