SYSTEM
The Genelec 1037B is a three-way

active monitoring system including
loudspeaker drivers, speaker
enclosure, multiple power
amplifiers and active, low signal
level crossovers. Designed for
moderate sized control rooms this
system is ideal for project studios,
general purpose broadcasting and
television studios, digital
workstations and postproduction
facilities.
The 1037B 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
126 dB SPL at 1.7 m with program

signals. Versatile crossover
controls allow for precise matching
of the speaker system to different
acoustic conditions. The system
can be used in both vertical and
horizontal orientations by simply
rotating the DCW unit.

INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION
The system is very easy to use as

only mains power and an input
signal are needed. The
performance is optimsed because
the loudspeakers and amplifiers
are built as a single integrated,
matched and calibrated package.
The rugged amplifier is mounted
into the enclosure with vibration
isolators which also act as quick
release hinges making
maintenance operations very easy
and straightforward. The speaker
cabinet is constructed of veneered
MDF, which is heavily braced to
eliminate structural resonances.

AMPLIFIERS

Three channel amplifier housed in the speaker cabinet

The bass, midrange and treble
amplifiers each produce 180W,
120W and 120W, respectively of
short term power with very low
THD and IM distortion. Special
attention is paid to the electronic
design to achieve the best
subjective sound quality currently
possible. To improve the acoustic
transient response the output
impedance of the woofer amplifier
is made negative. The system
incorporates special circuitry to
protect the drivers from overload.
Thermal protection is included for
the amplifiers.
