Genelec has created a compact, full-range stereo monitoring solutionspecifically designed to meet the needs of the project, recording,multimedia, or post-production studio environment. The TriplePlay™ full-range stereo monitoring system comprises two Genelec1029A two-way, bi-amplified active monitors and a Genelec 7050ALSE™ active subwoofer.
The 7050A subwoofer has been specifically designed to complement the1029A active monitor. When combined, they deliver a smoothness offrequency response comparable to larger Genelec monitors. The subwooferalso lets the Triple Play offer greater placement flexibility. Thecompact 1029As are small enough to be located on a desktop as part of amultimedia/workstation audio system and visually appear fairlyunobtrusive in a typical control room or project studio. The 7050A,when appropriately placed, can overcome many of the low-frequencyproblems associated with freestanding full-range speakers in smallrooms.
This three-piece system has in-room flat frequency response—38Hz to 20k Hz (+/-3 dB)—and each component features an integratedactive balanced crossover, driver protection circuit and dedicatedpower amplifier. The Triple Play can produce peak acoustic levels ofover 110 dB SPL @ 1 meter.
The system’s focal point is Genelec’s 7050A LSE Series ActiveSubwoofer, which employs the company’s proprietary Laminar SpiralEnclosure™ (LSE) technology. The 7050A’s cabinet is made ofsheet metal rolled into a spiral and clamped between thick MDF sidepanels. Designed to complement the 1029A active monitor, the 7050Afeatures a single 8-inch proprietary driver with 70-watt poweramplifier, a frequency response of 38 Hz to 85 Hz +/-3 dB, and has theability to deliver SPLs of 103 dB @ 1 meter. Like all Genelec LSEActive Subwoofers, the 7050A also features extremely lowdistortion.
The Triple Play system also includes two Genelec 1029A two-way,bi-amplified active monitors. The 1029A is a compact close-field systemfeaturing a high degree of accuracy and wide dynamic range andincorporates Genelec’s proprietary Directivity Control WaveguideTechnology™ (DCW). Powered by a pair of 40-watt amplifiers, theGenelec 1029A monitors offer a frequency response of 68 Hz to 20 kHz(+/-2.5 dB) from a 5-inch woofer and 3/4-inch hard-domed tweeter. The1029A has a front-mounted volume control and rear-panel bass and trebletilt room response controls. The Genelec 1029A active monitors measure10x6x7.125 inches and are housed in a die-cast aluminum enclosure thatfeatures rugged construction, while also providing massiveheat-dissipation capability and shielding against RF interference. Eachspeaker is also EM-shielded for additional protection when used inclose proximity to video monitors.
All monitors in the Triple Play system feature extensive driverprotection.
