Genelec 8020.LSE

The 8020.LSE  system consists of two Genelec 8020A two way, bi-amplified active monitors matched with the new Genelec 7050B LSE™ Series Active Subwoofer. In addition, Genelec provides detailed setup information in the 7050B Operating Manual to allow easy wiring and configuration of a 2.1 monitoring system or sub-assisted stereo system. This system is perfect for control rooms measuring up to 2500 cubic feet (H x W x D).

At the heart of the system is Genelec’s new 7050B LSE subwoofer, which employs Genelec’s proprietary Laminar Spiral Enclosure™ (LSE) technology. Because of this unique technology, the compact 7050B extends the LF response down to 25 Hz with amazing bass articulation. Like all Genelec LSE active subwoofers, the 7050B features extremely low distortion and outstanding accuracy. Designed to complement Genelec’s 8020A active monitors in stereo and surround applications, the 7050B can also be used to complement Genelec’s 8030A monitor in a stereo setup.

The 8020A monitor is part of Genelec’s revolutionary 8000 MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™) Series, which takes a new approach to enclosure design, driver technology and active electronics. In order to improve frequency and power responses, Genelec has designed a highly innovative enclosure, featuring rounded edges and gently curved front and sides. In addition to unsurpassed frequency response, the minimized cabinet edge diffraction provides superb imaging qualities. The 8020A utilizes an entirely aluminum MDE design with integrated Advanced Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™), yielding large internal volumes with exceptional mechanical strength.

The 8020A is magnetically shielded for use in environments where video monitors are in close proximity. As found on all 8000 Series products, Genelec also provides integrated fixing holes for easy wall-mounting using standard third-party wall mounts. Genelec’s smallest speaker to date, the 8020A comes in white and silver, as well as standard producer black, to enable seamless visual integration into nearly any environment.

Also included with each 8020A monitor is the unique Genelec Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™). The Iso-Pod is a clever mounting stand that allows for monitoring and enables the end user to accurately aim the acoustic axis of the monitor to the listener, as well as mechanically decouple the 8020A from the surface on which it rests.
