SYSTEMS

Genelec's active subwoofers are
powerful low frequency loud­speakers, incorporating all the
amplifier and crossover electron­ics needed to combine them with
other loudspeakers amplifiers and
signal sources.

The 1094A is a powerful system,
capable of reproducing frequen­cies in the range 29 - 80 Hz
(± 2.5 dB). The 1092A is a com­pact system that will reproduce
frequencies of 33 - 80 Hz (± 2.5
dB).

The amplifier unit integrated into
the cabinet contains active cross­over filters, driver overload pro­tection circuits and a power ampli­fier. The crossover has 3 signal
channels (L/C/R) input and output
channels and a discrete sub­woofer signal (.1) input, providing
great flexibility and allowing easy

opposite page)

connection to existing monitor
systems, whether one, two or three
channel, or to proprietary sur­round sound decoders.
The unit has adjustable sensitivity
and a bass roll-off and phase
matching control to tailor the re­sponse of the subwoofer to its
environment.

INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION

The combination of the cabinet
and amplifier in one unit results in
a robust and simple system.
The amplifier is mounted on pivot­ing vibration absorbers, which
prevent damage to the electron­ics and ensures easy access and
maintenance of the amplifier.
The cabinet is made from MDF
with rounded corners and hard­wearing textured black surface.
The drivers are concealed inside
an efficiency boosting cavity,
which also protects them from
physical damage.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS
AND POSITIONING

Both the 1094A and 1092A may be
used in conjunction with other
Genelec monitors to extend the
low frequency response and SPL
performance. It is advised that
they be used with models 1029A
through to 1037A. Due to the ver­satile crossover filters, stereo,
analogue matrix surround and
digital 5.1 channel surround sys­tems may be easily configured.
Some recommended configura­tions are shown on the opposite
page.

By positioning the subwoofer close
to a wall, it's radiation efficiency
can be maximized and some ad­verse room effects minimised. In

this way, the effective subwoofer
output is doubled and avoids
possible interference dips in the
frequency response.
Accordingly, the Genelec sub­woofers have been designed so
that they may be flush mounted
whilst allow access to the amplifier
connections and controls. Alter­natively, due to their omnidirec­tional dispersion, the same result
may be achieved by positioning
the subwoofers free standing with
the ports and the amplifier facing
the wall.

The inclusion of a phase correc­tion switch in the crossover allows
for the subwoofer to be freely
placed away from the main moni­tors, without resulting in phase
cancellation.

1094A

1092A

DRIVERS

The 1094A has one 385 mm (15")
cone driver, capable of produc­ing very high SPLs. The driver is
housed in a 110 liters vented cabi­net. The drivers are specially front
loaded to improve both the pass­band efficiency and stopband
rejection.

AMPLIFIER

The amplifier produces 400 W of
short term RMS power, with very
low THD and IM distortion. It is
mounted on a large, thick alu­minium plate, which provides ex­cellent heat dissipation. Driver
overload protection and power­on signal muting is included in the
amplifier circuitry. The amplifier
also incorporates a soft start power
supply, thermal overload and short
circuit protection.
The 1094A includes a clip LED on
the amplifier panel, which lights if
the amplifier is overloaded.

DRIVERS

The 1092A uses two 210mm (8")
cone drivers with large magnets
and large displacement capabil­ity (18 mm peak-to-peak). These
properties allow the reproduction
of low frequencies at high levels.
The drivers are housed in a 55
liters vented cabinet. The drivers
are specially front loaded to im­prove both passband efficiency.
This also improves stopband re­jection.

AMPLIFIER

The amplifier produces 180 W of
short term RMS power, with very
low THD and IM distortion.
The amplifier includes circuitry for
driver overload protection ensur­ing the long term reliability of the
drivers. The unit also contains a
muting circuit, which disconnects
the amplifier and filter outputs when
the mains power is switched on
and off, to prevent pops and clicks.
Thermal overload protection is also
provided.

The leftmost curves show the 1094A free field frequency response at
different bass roll-off settings. The right hand curve is the high
passed 1032A free field frequency response. The upper curve
shows the total system free field frequency response.

CROSSOVER FILTERS

The active crossover contained in
the amplifier unit splits the input
signals into low and high fre­quency components, accurately
dividing the input signal between
the subwoofer and the main
speakers. The low pass section
has ± 6 dB adjustable sensitivity,
to allow easy level matching with
the various main speakers. The
three high pass sections have 0
dB passband gain.

To provide a flat bass response in
many different acoustic environ­ments, a calibrated 'bass roll-off'
switch is included, which makes
adjustments to the subwoofer re­sponse in three -2 dB steps. A

phase matching switch in the
crossover allows compensation
for the delays which occur if the
subwoofer is placed away from
the main speakers or for other
speaker systems phase behav­ior. Four settings are provided
between 0° and -270°.
Balanced XLR connectors are
used for the system inputs and
outputs.
