Designed for multichannel applications where space is limited around the video monitor or the viewing window, the 1238AC Triamplified SAM Monitor System with RAM-L Amplifier from Genelec incorporates dual 10" woofers plus a 5" midrange driver and a 1" tweeter. This center-channel studio monitor is powerful but focused—the large Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) ensures precise on- and off-axis imaging even in challenging acoustic environments. AutoCal compensates for detrimental room influences to optimize your setup for your listening environment, while Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software allows for the fine adjustment of up to 30 individual Smart monitors and Smart subwoofers to facilitate multichannel audio setups.
