Genelec 7050C Overview

Building upon the success of the 7050A and 7050B models, the Genelec 7050C Studio Subwoofer is an 8", 130W active subwoofer, well suited for discerning professionals in music, post, film, and broadcast. The 7050C boasts several improvements including a bypassable onboard bass management system, lower distortion, a universal mains voltage switched-mode power supply, and an increased maximum SPL of 103 dB.

The subwoofer works in stereo or 5.1 channel configurations using analog XLR inputs and outputs. The integrated bass management section features five input and output channels with 85 Hz low-pass/high-pass filters, plus a discrete 120 Hz LFE signal input with selectable +10 dB boost.

The 7050C utilizes a magnetically shielded low frequency driver, housed in a Genelec LSE spiral enclosure, which delivers an extended low-frequency response down to 24 Hz with low distortion. Rear panel DIP switches to allow the user to adjust subwoofer phase and low-frequency roll-off, engage the +10 dB LFE level, and activate and control the sensitivity of the Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) power-saving mode, which reduces the unit’s power consumption down to a mere 0.5 W in standby mode. The Genelec 7050C ships with a standard IEC power cord.

  • Bass management system
  • Optimized amplifiers
  • Room response compensation
  • Protection circuitry
  • Active crossovers

question

Would this be a good choice to pair with the 8050A (LRC) and the 8040A (Ls,Rs) for a 5.1 setup in a 15x10 room?
Asked by: Erik L.
The Genelec 7360APM would be a better choice by the specs because it goes down to 19Hz, giving you a lower frequency response. However, your room is not too large, and you may not be driving the 8050 and 8040 monitors to their full volume potential. Since the 7360APM is a SAM sub (DSP/GLM-network enabled and ready for 7.1) it's price point is higher.
