new discreet in-wall speaker, an in-ceiling model, and a low-profile on-wall loudspeaker —
121st AES CONVENTION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 6, 2006 — Genelec announces the expansion of its product range with three powerful new additions: the AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker, the AIC25 Active In-Ceiling Loudspeaker and the AOW312 Active On-Wall Loudspeaker. Each model is designed to meet the needs of corporate and commercial installations and further underscores Genelec’s ongoing commitment to providing systems contractors with leading-edge products.Genelec’s new AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker and AIC25 Active In-Ceiling Loudspeaker Systems supply the ultimate in design integration. Each features perfectly matched, separate RAM2 remote amplifier modules, which can be used with a single 4U high RAM Rack Adaptor to accommodate up to 8 RAM amplifiers. The AIW25 and AIC25 each come complete with enclosure to maximize performance and ease of installation. New construction brackets are also available. In addition, the AIW25 employs Genelec’s proprietary Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™), which ensures excellent stereo imaging and frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments.
The AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker fits into a standard 2 x 4" wall structure and can easily be retrofitted to existing construction. This speaker is ideal in demanding applications such as the main L-C-R array of a small monitoring system, a critical stereo configuration, or rear/side channels of a medium-size high quality system. The AIW25 is a two-way active speaker with a 5" bass driver and 3/4" treble driver equipped with Genelec’s DCW. It also features a RAM2 remote amplifier module which includes active crossover circuitry and separate, matched 40 Watt power amplifiers for the bass and treble drivers. The AIW25 has a frequency response of 70 Hz to 18 kHz (+/-2.5 dB) and a maximum peak SPL of 110 dB per pair. Its dimensions are 14 3/16" H x 10 1/2" W x 4 3/32" D. In addition, visible parts of the loudspeaker can be painted to suit the listening environment.
The AIC25 Active In-Ceiling Loudspeaker delivers low distortion and high sound pressure handling capabilities in a discrete yet powerful package ideal for use in a broad range of installations. AIC25 is a two-way active loudspeaker with 5" bass driver and 3/4" treble driver. It also features a RAM2 remote amplifier module which includes active crossover circuitry and separate, matched 40 Watt power amplifiers for the bass and treble drivers. The AIC25 has a frequency response of 70 Hz to 18 kHz (+/-2.5 dB) and a maximum peak SPL of 110 dB per pair. Its dimensions are 11 3/16" W (diameter) x 6 3/16" D. In addition, visible surfaces of the loudspeaker can be painted to suit the listening environment.
The AOW312 Active On-Wall Loudspeaker measures up to Genelec’s renowned performance standards at only 6.75" deep for easy aesthetic integration. This speaker was designed to serve two types of environments: sides and surrounds for large scale rooms (>9000 cubic feet) where 1034B/BC or larger mains speakers are used; as well as the front wall for lesser sized rooms (5000 to 8000 cubic feet) where space behind the wall is limited. The AOW312 is a three-way active speaker with a 12" woofer, 5" midrange (DCW-equipped) and 1" metal dome tweeter. It also features a remote amplifier housed in a 19" x 7U remote amp rack. Each amplifier provides 180 Watts for the woofer, 120 Watts for the midrange and 120 Watts for the tweeter. The AOW312 has an exceptionally wide frequency response of 37 Hz to 21 kHz (+/-2 dB) and a maximum peak SPL of 124 dB. Its dimensions are 57" H x 14.75" W x 6.75" D.
