FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


GENELEC HOME THEATER SOUND SYSTEMS OFFERS
EXTRAORDINARY SONIC DIMENSION WITH NEW 6020A/5050A SYSTEM

CEDIA EXPO, INDIANAPOLIS, IN, September 9, 2005 — Genelec, Inc., U.S. distributor of Genelec Home Theater Sound Systems, unveils the compact 6020A two-way active speaker and 5050A active subwoofer, advancing playback standards in this speaker size category. The 6020A and 5050A combination delivers a high impact listening experience in a variety of applications including intimate home theaters, multi-media/gaming rooms and smaller surround sound environments.

The Genelec 6020A — a “little” speaker with a “big” attitude
The Genelec Home Theater Sound Systems 6020A bi-amplified active speaker is the smallest Genelec speaker to date. All forms of distortion have been minimized in its design that features Genelec’s proprietary die-cast aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™) technology. The imaging accuracy and low frequency extension achieved with such an extremely compact enclosure are completely unique. Employing Genelec’s innovative Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) the 6020A has an amazingly flat on- and off-axis response, while its long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.

The 6020A incorporates a 4" bass driver along with a 3/4" tweeter loaded into a Genelec DCW. The free field frequency response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz (± 2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output per pair with music material is 105 dB at 1 m. The woofer and tweeter are each powered by 20 Watt amplifiers.

The Genelec 5050A Active Subwoofer — the perfect companion
The new Genelec 5050A Active subwoofer is the ideal partner to the 6020A, supplying a powerful, 3-channel bass-managed, wide bandwidth subwoofer solution for both stereo and surround sound applications. The 5050A subwoofer is equipped with one active magnetically shielded 8" driver, mounted on the front side of a compact cabinet, and two 8" passive radiators, one on each side of the cabinet. A 70 Watt amplifier unit is integrated into the 5050A and the unit has a frequency response from 25 Hz – 120 Hz (± 3 dB). The 5050A also has the ability to deliver short-term sine wave of 100 dB SPL and like all Genelec active subwoofers, the 5050A features extremely low distortion. In addition, XLR and RCA line level input connectors (with input sensitivity) provide easy connection to all types of decoders, as well as a Link Out connector, which allows coupling two or more subwoofers together when higher sound pressure levels are required.

The 6020A/5050A system is the perfect compact yet powerful stereo or surround solution and will be available 1st quarter 2006.
