The Genelec G Five is the definitive flagship of the G Series lineup, engineered to bring absolute studio-grade acoustic performance into expansive home theaters and high-fidelity stereo systems. Representing the pinnacle of Genelec's residential audio engineering, this massive two-way active monitor effortlessly fills large living spaces with breathtaking dynamics, pristine resolution, and an authoritatively deep low-end response that eliminates the need for an external subwoofer.
Masterful Enclosure and Acoustic Waveguide
Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE): The iconic, gently curved cabinet is crafted entirely from die-cast aluminum. This rigid build effectively suppresses internal standing waves and prevents edge diffraction, allowing the speaker to completely disappear from the soundstage.
Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™): The proprietary waveguide surrounding the tweeter is seamlessly integrated into the front baffle. It aligns the frequency response and dispersion patterns of both drivers, delivering an exceptionally wide, uniform listening sweet spot both on and off-axis.
Rear Bass Reflex Architecture: Features an aerodynamically optimized flow-optimized port that eliminates unwanted vortex noise, ensuring tightly controlled, distortion-free low frequencies even at maximum playback levels.
Tremendous Power and Sophisticated Acoustics
The G Five houses a formidable internal bi-amplified design running on dual Class D power amplifiers. It packs a dedicated 150 W amplifier for its robust 205 mm (8-inch) high-excursion woofer, and a separate 120 W amplifier driving its 25 mm (1-inch) metal dome tweeter. This translates to a combined 270 W of continuous power per speaker, achieving an impressive maximum short-term output of 110 dB SPL and an extended linear frequency range dropping all the way to 32 Hz (-6 dB).
Premium Integration and Correction
To cater to challenging domestic environments, the rear panel is equipped with comprehensive room compensation DIP switches, including precise bass and treble attenuation toggles to negate wall or corner acoustic boundary loading. It bridges consumer convenience and professional fidelity by offering both an unbalanced RCA line input and a studio-standard balanced XLR connector for absolute signal security and interference protection.
