Genelec 1036A Main Control Room Monitoring System

The Genelec 1036A is an extremely powerful monitor system, designed for large control rooms. It consists of a 430 net liter speaker enclosure and a 19" electronics rack, which contains active crossovers, three channel power amplifiers and sophisticated protection and diagnostic circuitry. The 1036A is designed for flush mounting in the control room wall, although it may be used free standing and can produce peak sound pressure levels in excess of 136 dB.

Bass, midrange and treble controls are included to allow the speaker to be matched to the acoustic conditions of different control rooms. The sensitivity of the system to its environment is minimized by the unique Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW ™) Technology, which provides excellent stereo imaging and frequency balance even in difficult acoustic situations. The system can be used in both verical and horizontal orientations by simply rotating the DCW unit.

The 1036A is a TEC (Technical Excellence & Creativity) year 2000 award winner for Studio Monitor Technology, and SSAIRA (Studio Sound Audio Industry Recognition Award) winner.

Genelec DCW™ Technology

The revolutionary Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) technology greatly improves the performance of a direct radiating multi-way loudspeaker.

The DCW™ waveguide is designed to match the frequency response and directivity characteristics of the drivers in the loudspeaker. This results in an excellent flatness of the overall frequency response for on and off-axis listening positions.

The improved directivity control reduces the reflected sound energy at the listening position. This improves the stereo and sound stage imaging and ensures very small sensitivity to varying control room acoustics, actually much smaller sensitivity than with any conventional direct radiator design.

The DCW™ technology also improves the drive unit sensitivity even up to +6 dB, and therefore increases the maximum sound pressure level as well as decreases drivers and system distortion.

DCW™ Technology key features:

• Flat on and off-axis response for wider usable listening area
• Increased direct-to-reflected sound ratio for reduced control room coloration
• Improved stereo and sound stage imaging
• Increased driver efficiency
• Increased system Sound Pressure Level capacity
• Decreased drive unit distortion
• Reduced cabinet edge diffraction
• Reduced system distortion
