Power with Precision
What distinguishes the performance of Genelec's subwoofers is their ability to generate very high sound pressure levels with minimum distortion, achieved through the unique Laminar Spiral Enclosure design. This LSE technology allows the 8-inch woofer of the 7050C - driven by a powerful Class D amplifier stage - to move enough volume of air to achieve a maximum SPL of 103 dB: an impressive 3 dB increase over its predecessor, but with total precision and clarity.
The 7050C LSE enclosure is made from a spiral-shaped strip of steel, providing maximal mechanical stability for the large pressures generated inside the subwoofer. The spiral forms the bass reflex port as well, enabling linear air flow even at the highest SPL outputs. This flow-optimized construction is what enables both low frequency capacity and low distortion performance - resulting in precise bass articulation right down to 24 Hz.
Superior Management Skills
The onboard bass management section enables the 7050C to filter low frequency information from the main channels and take responsibility for handling it - thus increasing the headroom and reducing the distortion of your main monitors, which can then focus their energies on the rest of the frequency spectrum.
The bass management section of the 7050C features five input and output channels with 85 Hz low-pass/high-pass filters, plus a discrete 120 Hz LFE signal input with selectable +10 dB boost to restore the normal level of the LFE channel in the way that a typical AV processor would. These extra features bring the 7050C closely in line with Genelec's other professional subwoofers and make it equally comfortable working in stereo or multichannel audio systems.
