A Brief History:
Genelec Oy, a Finnish Company, was
founded by two Electronics Engineers who
were also Sound Enthusiats, in 1978
Genelec, initially, began operations to meet
the needs of the Finnish Broadcasting
Company YLE.

Genelec has exported speakers from their beginning, and has

increased exports over the years. In the 1990s exports peaked
at 95% but have settled to around 90% in the 2000s. The first
export countries were Italy, the Nordic countries, Federal
Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Great
Britain. In Japan it began in 1986.
By 1993, Genelec had distributors in 45 countries, and now
has sales in more than 70 countries.
As of 2010, Genelec produces over 50 active loudspeaker
models, and numerous modifications and versions of
these for specific applications. They also produced
software products for acoustic calibration. After finishing
sound reinforcement contracting, Genelec concentrates
solely on active speakers.

Dynaudio is a Danish loudspeaker maker,

founded in 1977 by a group of engineers who
shared a passion for music
The first loudspeakers Dynaudio introduced in
1977 and 1978 were the models in the P-series
and used OEM drivers, eventually the
company knew from its technical background
that the only way it could produce really good
loudspeakers would be by developing its own
drivers.

The pro audio division of the company, Dynaudio

Professional, focuses on recording
studio loudspeaker equipment such as studio
monitors. In 1999, Dynaudio became partners
with TC Electronic. Some major recording studios
that use Dynaudio Professional products are Air
Lyndhurst, NRG Studios, and The Hit
Factory. Record producers Mike Hedges, Trevor
Horn, Steve Lipson, and Mutt Lange do as well.
Dynaudio has been the audio supplier to Swedish
automaker Volvo Cars Corporation and is still the
supplier for German automaker Volkswagen.
Bugatti has also employed Dynaudio as their audio
supplier.

8040B
Boasting astonishing performance, the bi-amplified 8040B
monitor is ideal for use in all types of production
environments.
The Genelec 8040B active monitor produces high SPL, low
colouration and broad bandwidth in a modest enclosure. It
contains drivers, matched power amplifiers, active crossover
and protection circuitry. The 8040B Minimum Diffraction
Enclosure (MDE) and advanced Directivity Control
Waveguide (DCW) technologies provide superior
frequency balance and neutral sound imaging in all
production environments. 8040B features Genelec Intelligent
Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry which switches the monitor
to standby when no audio input is detected (ErP 2013
Directive).
Its superior performance makes it ideal for many
applications, such as music studios, post-production
facilities, mobile vans, radio and TV broadcasting.

BM6A

Applications for the BM6A cover every aspect of sound

engineering and reproduction, including music and
speech monitoring and mixing, radio station, OB vehicles,
edit suites, post production, recording studios and
playback rooms. The BM 6A features an electronic 4th

order phase-aligned crossover with a crossover point at

2.2kHz, which feeds two high performance discrete
MOSFET amplifiers rated at 100W each.
The low frequency section is driven by a low frequency
equalizer offering a choice between extended, critical
damped response or more conventional higher Qt
response for more level but less low frequency output.
Included in the electronics is a complex protection
circuit, which helps to prevent accidental damage to
the drivers, yet still providing maximum transient
response.
The BM 6A is housed with an elegant matte cabinet
with radius edged construction on the front baffle to
reduce boundary effects and improve overall sound
quality.

8050B

Producing high SPL over a very wide frequency

response, the bi-amplified 8050B is a powerful and
very accurate reference monitoring system.

Very high SPL output, high dynamic range, low

colouration and wide frequency response characterise
Genelec 8050B active monitor. The 8050B allaluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE)
contains drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover
and protection circuitry. The surface optimized
advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW)
provides outstanding frequency balance, stable and
neutral sound imaging in all environments. 8050B
features Genelec Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS)
circuitry which switches the monitor to standby when
no audio input is detected (ErP 2013 Directive).
It is the monitoring tool for large recording studios,
mastering suites, post-production houses, radio and
TV broadcasting.

BM15A
The BM15A is a revolutionary nearfield monitor offering
exceptionally high performance. Its full range extended
bass response makes it the perfect nearfield monitor,
particularly for commercial studios, project studios and
post production facilities.
The BM15A is a relatively large 2-way active system
comprising of a large 240mm (10") woofer, a special
version of the Dynaudio ESOTEC soft dome tweeter and
an electronic phase-aligned crossover, which feeds the
build-in dual, high performance discrete MOSFET
amplifiers.
The electronics offer complex protection circuitry helping
to prevent accidental damage to the drivers, while still
providing maximum transient response.
The BM15A monitor is front ported for powerful and
extended low frequency response, and the elegant matte
cabinet has radius edges on the front baffle to reduce
boundary effects and improve the overall sound quality.

No speaker, monitor or hi-fi, regardless of the design principle,

has a completely flat frequency response; all speakers color the
sound to some degree. Monitor speakers are assumed to be as
free as possible from coloration.
While no rigid distinction exists between consumer speakers
and studio monitors, manufacturers more and more accent the
difference in their marketing material.
Generally, studio monitors are physically robust, to cope with
the high volumes and physical knocks that may happen in the
studio, and are used for listening at shorter distances (e.g., near
field) than hi-fi speakers, though nothing precludes them from
being used in a home-sized environment. Studio monitors are
increasingly self-amplified (active), while hi-fi speakers usually
require external amplification
