Genelec improves on a classic with 7050C subwoofer

Genelec has once again redefined the benchmark for compact subwoofer performance by unveiling the 7050C, which delivers an extended low frequency response with higher SPL and lower distortion than its 7050B predecessor.
The 7050B has long been a category leader, so the 7050C has been specifically crafted to improve on a classic. The unit’s LSE spiral enclosure has been further refined to deliver clean audio output even at peak levels, with users also benefitting from a 3 dB increase in SPL capability and a universal switched-mode power supply. Equally comfortable working in stereo or multichannel audio systems, the 7050C is designed to sit proudly alongside Genelec’s existing professional subwoofers. The bass management system provides five input and output channels with 85 Hz low-pass/highpass filters, plus a 120 Hz LFE signal input with selectable +10 dB boost.
The 7050C measures just 410 mm in height, with a width of 350 mm, a depth of 319 mm and contains a single 8-inch magnetically shielded low frequency driver, housed in a Genelec LSE spiral enclosure, which helps deliver the unit’s clean LF response down to 24 Hz. Like all Genelec products, the 7050C has been created with sustainability at its heart and the ability to continue delivering flawless, transparent sound reproduction for decades to come. The 7050C can be calibrated to suit its acoustic environment courtesy of a comprehensive set of rear panel DIP switches. Adjustable settings include phase and low frequency roll-off, the activation of the +10 dB LFE level, and the sensitivity of the Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) power-saving mode, which reduces the unit’s power consumption to a mere 0.5 W in standby.
