Genelec 7050APM Active Studio Subwoofer is a premium, compact low-frequency solution developed by the legendary Finnish brand to deliver precise bass extension for near-field stereo monitoring systems. The "APM" suffix designates the classic Producer Black finish. This model was engineered to seamlessly integrate and cross over with Genelec 8030 and 8130 monitors, as well as the classic 1029A models. The subwoofer is highly sought after in professional and home recording studios, editing suites, and mobile broadcast stations where sonic accuracy is critical, and space is at a premium.
Proprietary Technologies and Construction
LSE (Laminar Spiral Enclosure) Cabinet: The unique enclosure is made of a sheet metal strip rolled into a spiral shape and clamped between thick MDF side panels. This spiral geometry forms a seamless, curved bass reflex tube that minimizes turbulent port noise and ensures an ideal laminar airflow.
Enhanced Rigidity: The LSE construction provides exceptional structural stiffness, completely eliminating parasitic cabinet resonances even under peak loads.
Reliable Protection: A cast aluminum grille protects the driver cone from mechanical damage, while the internal electronics feature built-in overload and thermal protection circuits.
Acoustic and Technical Specifications
The unit houses a magnetically shielded, long-throw 8-inch (200 mm) low-frequency driver. It is driven by a built-in 70-watt analog amplifier with minimal total harmonic distortion (THD
0.08%). The subwoofer reliably delivers a flat frequency response from 38 Hz to 85 Hz (
3 dB), while an integrated subsonic filter effectively cuts off frequencies below 38 Hz to protect the driver. It achieves an impressive maximum peak acoustic output of 100 dB SPL at a distance of 1 meter.
Connectivity and Flexible Tuning
Balanced XLR connectors are provided for all inputs and outputs. The rear control panel features DIP switches that allow for precise phase calibration and bass roll-off adjustments to compensate for room acoustics. The electronic crossover is fixed at 85 Hz, perfectly blending the subwoofer with the main satellites and freeing them from reproducing the demanding lower register.
