AMPLIFIERS
The bass, midrange and treble
amplifiers each produce 120 W of
short term power with very low
THD and IM distortion. Special
attention is paid to electronics
design to get also the subjective
sound quality as good as cur-
rently possible. To improve
acoustic transient response the
output impedance of the woofer
amplifier is made negative. The
system incorporates a special
circuitry for protecting drivers
from overload. Thermal protection
is included for the amplifiers.
SYSTEM
The Genelec S30C is a three-way
Active Monitoring System includ-
ing loudspeaker drivers, speaker
enclosure, multiple power amplifi-
ers and active, low level cross-
overs. All these are housed en-
tirely within the speaker cabinet.
Featuring a proprietary ribbon
tweeter the S30C is a no compro-
mise design. The fast, low distor-
tion amplifiers are capable of
driving a stereo system to peak
output levels in excess of 122 dB
SPL at 1 m with program signals.
Versatile crossover controls allow
for precise matching of the
speaker system to different
acoustic conditions. Designed for
relatively small control rooms and
available in vertical and horizontal
versions, this system is ideal for
general purpose broadcasting
and television studios, digital
workstations, post production
facilities and mobile recording
vehicles. The high output and
INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION
The system is very easy to use
as only mains power and input
signal are needed. The perfor-
mance is consistent because the
loudspeakers and amplifiers are
built as a single integrated,
matched and calibrated package.
The rugged amplifier is mounted
into the enclosure with vibration
isolators which act also as quick
release hinges making possible
maintenance operations very
easy and straightforward. The
speaker cabinet is constructed of
veneered MDF, which is heavily
braced to eliminate structural
resonances.
absolute reproduction accuracy
make the S30C an ultimate
nearfield monitor in recording
studios.
