Manufacturer's Description for Genelec 1030A Biamped Active Monitors (Black, Magnetically Shielded)

Features
The 1030A is a TEC (Technical Excellence & Creativity) award winner.

6.5 litre vented cabinet

Electronic crossover and protection circuitry

Built in bass roll-off, treble and bass tilt controls

170 mm (6-1/2 in.) high efficiency polymer composite cone driver

19 mm (3/4 in.) metal dome tweeter loaded with proprietary Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW)

Genelec Bi-Amplified Monitoring Systems
Genelec Bi-Amplified Monitoring Systems are compact active monitors with performance equal to much larger systems. They contain inbuilt electronic crossovers, overload protection, and power amplifiers. They are ideal for near field monitoring, broadcast and TV control rooms, mobile vans, home studios, and traveling engineers.

Genelec's unique Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology provides excellent stereo imaging and frequency balance. The versatile room frequency response controls allow excellent room response tailoring. The speakers may be used in vertical or horizontal orientation.

Everything is built into the speaker enclosure. The only connections required are the mains supply and the line level input signal. This ensures consistent audio quality.

An increasingly popular application of the bi-amplified systems is surround sound reproduction. Building a full-fledged surround system with Genelec monitors is extremely simple.

Directivity Control Waveguide
The revolutionary Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology greatly improves the performance of a direct radiating multi-way loudspeaker. The aim is to match the frequency response and directivity of the drivers in the loudspeaker. This results in excellent match of overall frequency response on and off axis.

DCW Features
Flat on and off-axis response for wider usable listening area

Increased direct-to-reflected sound ratio for reduced room coloration

Improved stereo imaging

Increased driver efficiency

Increased system SPL capacity

Decreased drive unit distortion

Reduced cabinet edge diffraction

Reduced distortion

The improved directivity control reduces the reflected sound at the listening position. This improves the stereo imaging and ensures very small sensitivity to varying control room acoustics, actually much smaller sensitivity than with any conventional direct radiator design.

And this is not all! The DCW technology also improves the drive unit sensitivity even up to +6 dB, and therefore increases the maximum sound pressure level as well as decreases the distortion. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Genelec products.

Frequency response: 52 - 20k Hz (-3 dB)

115 dB SPL (peak) per pair @ 1m with music material

Bi-amplified: 80 W, 50 W

"Sell your Mule and buy these Monitors."

Sound: Excellent Reference quiality monitors. These monitors faithfully reproduce every thing you are recording. Some people complain these monitors are not musical. That is a very subjective subject. I find these monitors to be very enjoyable to listen to. Never tiring on the ears. In conparison to Mackie HR824 I would have to say both are great monitors. Mackie does produce lower bass frequencies, however I feel the Genelecs bass is a little more accurate. If you record rap get the Mackies. For everything else you dont really need the low bass. Or get a sub. You may need to do a lot of reference checks with these monitors against a home stereo or boombox. The bass can be decieving. Feature: I bought these used, so all I got were power cords. XLR input only so for those of you with only 1/4" line out you will need to make or buy XLR to 1/4" cables. Quality: Both speakers sound great and match perfect. The guy who had mine scratched up the cabinets really bad, but the drivers and amps were mint so i bought em. Havent had any problems. Value: I paid $1100 which i think was too much considering these can be had used mint elsewhere for less. Oh well. They sound great. At something like $500 more for the genelecs I would probally have bought the Mackies, however if you can get a deal on the Genelecs go for it. Manufacturer Support: Havent had to deal with but im assuming they are good. The Wow Factor: Beautiful sounding monitors. Never heard better nearfields. Very practical addition to a home/semi-pro recording studio. Overall: I expect I wont need new monitors unless i upgrade to a larger location. I'd probally just get bigger Genelecs.

Style of Music: Synth Pop.
