New life for Genelec’s 7050

Genelec’s 7050B compact subwoofer has been given a refresh and re-enters the market as the 7050C. The new version has extended the low-frequency response while reportedly achieving higher SPLs and lower distortions than its predecessor.

Notable for its size-to-SPL ratio, the 7050B’s replacement has been designed to push these attributes further with an extra 3dB SPL capability and a switched-mode power supply.

The system provides five input and output channels with 85Hz LP/HP filters, plus a discrete 120Hz LFE signal input with selectable +10dB boost, while the cabinet measures 410mm (H) x 350mm (W) x 319mm (D). Inside the cabinet is a single 8-inch magnetically shielded, low-frequency driver housed inside a Genelec LSE spiral enclosure, which the manufacturer claims will deliver and ‘unit’s impressively clean’ LF response down to 24Hz.

The 7050C can be calibrated to suit its acoustic environment via a set of rear panel DIP switches. Adjustable settings include phase and LF roll-off, the activation of the +10dB LFE level and the sensitivity of the Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) power-saving mode.
