Integrated Systems Europe 2007

Genelec oy, a leading pioneer of active monitoring systems, has launched three new 'aesthetic' loudspeaker systems with the needs of the professional installation market in mind. This further underscores Genelec's commitment to the high-end home theatre and custom installation market.

One model in the new active monitoring range is the AOW312, an on-wall monitoring system with a particularly shallow depth to give the installer more design flexibility. Two other models in the range are the AIW25 and AIC25 in-wall and in-ceiling monitors respectively (see separate release).

The AOW312 Active On-Wall Loudspeaker measures up to GenelecÕs renowned performance standards yet is only 175mm (6.5") 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 HT324 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 screen and the wall are limited.

The AOW312 is a three-way active speaker with a 300mm (12") woofer, 130mm (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 37Hz to 21kHz (+/-2dB) and a maximum peak SPL of 124dB. Its dimensions are 1500mm" H x 400mm W x 175mm D.
