Genelec Debuts 1236 Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) Large-Format Main Monitor System

Latest version (V2) of Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) and AutoCal couples with the 1236 to optimize the speaker-to-room interface

At the 139th AES convention in New York City, Genelec has debuted the new 1236 Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) main monitor system.

The 1236 and its individually calibrated 3U-high Remote Amplifier Module RAM-XL are designed to provide high performance in a large format, flush-mounted main monitoring system. The new design is based on the proprietary double-18-inch bass driver design of the Genelec 1036.

The 1236’s frequency response extends from 17 Hz to 26 kHz, and it is rated as capable of delivering 130 dB SPL at 1 meter through a combination of modern digital signal processing and efficient Class D amplifiers, providing 2 x 1000 watts, 800 watts, and 400 watts of short-term power into woofers, midrange and tweeter channels, respectively.

The 37.75 x 46.5 W x 25.62 inch (h x w x d) enclosure incorporates two 18-inch high-linearity woofers, with two Genelec proprietary high-efficiency five-inch midrange drivers as well as a two-inch high compression tweeter, mounted in a very large Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) enclosure.

All crossovers, protection circuitry, and driver calibrations are implemented in the digital domain. In addition, the latest version (V2) of Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) and AutoCal couples with the 1236 to optimize the speaker-to-room interface.

All electronics, amplifier circuitry, drivers and enclosure have been designed, assembled, tested and individually calibrated in the Genelec factory in Iisalmi, Finland.

“The new 1236 is the latest addition to Genelec’s extensive Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) product range,” states Will Eggleston, marketing director USA for Genelec Inc. “As our new flagship product, it embodies the tightest design tolerances with the highest production standards possible and is perfect for a wide range of production environments and applications.”
