Genelec Launches SE DSP Monitoring System

Genelec, the leading manufacturer of active monitoring solutions, introduces the SE (Small Environment) DSP Monitoring System, designed to solve many of the acoustic problems associated with small recording and mixing environments. The SE™ DSP Monitoring System offers Genelec's outstanding quality of performance in an affordable and easy-to-use package and is ideal for near field monitoring, mobile vans, digital audio workstations, broadcast and TV control rooms, surround sound systems, home studios and multimedia applications.

The SE™ DSP Monitoring System combines the new SE7261A 10 inch DSP subwoofer with 8130A digital input active monitors (5 inch bass drivers and 3/4 inch tweeters), for easy configuration into sub-assisted stereo or multi-channel reference systems. Software control is reassuringly simple with the SE7261A DSP subwoofer providing all necessary network connections to the host computer and supplying extensive DSP resources through its high-pass AES digital outputs to the 8130A.

New GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) SE™ software provides the familiar graphic interface to speed users through system setup and AutoCal™ acoustic calibration.

The new SE7261A active DSP subwoofer includes:

• Eight channel AES/EBU bass management
• Four notch filters applied to sub channels
• AutoPhase sub integration

And the 8 channel high-pass outputs to 8130A each have:

• Two notch filters
• Time of flight compensation
• Level alignment
• Video display delay compensation

The subwoofer's frequency response is 19Hz to 100Hz, and the dimensions are 527mm high x 462mm wide x 363mm deep.

The complementary 8130A active monitoring system features:

• 192 kHz/24 bit digital audio interface
• Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) technology for excellent frequency balance even in difficult acoustic environments
• Integrated design so the amplifiers and the drivers can be calibrated as a single unit, eliminating the effects of component tolerances and ensuring consistent quality
• Very low distortion due to a uniquely new rear reflex port design

The system's frequency response extending down to 55 Hz (-3 dB) and the dimensions are 285mm high x 189mm wide x 178mm deep.

The GLM.SE™ Software package includes:

• Rapid cabling wizard for easy setup
• Calibration wizard for AutoCal™ automatic calibration
• Genelec calibration microphone
• Network Interface

Like all Genelec DSP systems, the new SE™ System is designed to adapt to the user's listening environment accurately and quickly. The SE™ System is an exciting new package, that owes its existence to a combination of nearly 30 years of on-site room measurement, a decade of DSP network system development and active monitoring technology that is uniquely Genelec's, featuring all-aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™) cabinets and Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE™) technologies.
