2.1 UNPACKING
The Genelec 1034BC monitoring system
is shipped as a single system. The ampli-
fier unit and speaker cabinet are packed
in separate boxes. A mains connecting
cable, 10 m LED connecting cable, 10 m
loudspeaker connecting cable and one
Allen key are also included.
Before installing the system, check all
items for damage and omissions. If there
are any damaged products, contact
directly the distributor and insurance
agent. If there are any missing compo-
nents, contact your local dealer or
GENELEC.
IMPORTANT: Note the serial numbers on
the back of the amplifier unit and the
speaker cabinet. Each amplifier has been
tested and aligned for optimal perfor-
mance with the speaker cabinet it is deliv-
ered with and they have the same serial
number. Make sure that you do not mix
these matched amplifier/speaker combi-
nations when installing several 1034B /
1034BC systems at the same time.
2.2 AMPLIFIER POSITIONING
The Genelec 1034BC amplifier electronics
are encased in one standard 19" 7U rack
case. The unit should be well ventilated to
prevent excessive overheating, there
must be a supply of air to the front and
rear of the amplifier unit. If the system
overheats it will stop operating until a safe
temperature is reached.

1. DESCRIPTION
The GENELEC 1034BC is a dedicated
center channel speaker for three channel
(LCR) and Surround systems. Its cabinet
has been designed for optimum place-
ment in the limited space above or below
a video screen. The system comprises of
a 160 litre cabinet and a 19" 7U rack
mount amplifier unit.
The Genelec 1034BC is totally compatible
for use with Genelec 1034B control room
monitors, but it can also be used in all
channels of a Surround Sound or stereo
system.
The speaker cabinet contains two 305mm
(12") bass drivers, a 130mm (5")
midrange, and a 25mm (1") treble driver.
All drivers are magnetically shielded.
The midrange and treble drivers are
mounted in a Genelec Directivity Control
Waveguide (DCW) which can be rotated
through ±90° for either horizontal or verti-
cal mounting. The cabinet low frequency -
3dB point is at 32 Hz and the bass re-
sponse extends down to 27 Hz. The high
frequency response extends up to 22kHz
(-3dB).
The amplifier unit contains a 3 channel
active crossover, driver overload protec-
tion circuits, and 4 separate power ampli-
fiers producing 2 x 400W, 350W and
120W of short term power in the bass,
midrange, and treble channels respec-
tively. The crossover filter incorporates
tone controls to enable the user to accu-
rately match the speaker to the local
acoustic environment.
Make sure that the amplifier is positioned
so that the speaker connecting cables will
reach. Longer cable lengths can be or-
dered from GENELEC upon special re-
quest. A space 100 mm (4") deep should
be left behind the rear panel of the ampli-
fier unit to allow for the cable connectors
(see Fig. 5 overleaf).
Check that the amplifier unit is wired to
the correct mains voltage for your power
supply. The correct mains voltage for the
amplifier unit is shown at the bottom of the
sticker on the rear panel of the amplifier
unit.
2.3 LOUDSPEAKER POSITIONING
The 1034BC control room monitor is de-
signed to be flush mounted in either the
vertical or horizontal configuration. The
DCW should be rotated so that the treble
and midrange drivers align vertically (see
Fig. 1 below). This ensures that optimum
stereo symmetry is obtained.
IMPORTANT-The DCW plate is heavy,
care must therefore be taken when re-
moving and replacing the DCW. To rotate
the DCW plate, proceed as follows:
• Place the speaker in its intended lis-
tening orientation.
• Unscrew the eight M5 fixing screws on
the edges of the plate using the 4mm
Allen key provided with the system.
• Carefully pull the plate a small distance
away from the cabinet.
• Rotate the DCW so that the midrange
and treble drivers are aligned vertically
(treble driver on top) and remount the
DCW plate reversing the procedure
above.
