loudspeaker placement
The Genelec AIW26B Active In-wall
loudspeaker system consists of a bass
reflex type two-way loudspeaker and
a matched remote amplifier module,
RAM1. It has been designed to the same
rigorous standards as Genelec’s high-
performance HT series active Home
Theater loudspeakers. The AIW26B
can be used in the most demanding
applications, like the main L-C-R array of
a Home Theater system, critical Stereo
listening or rear/side channels of a large,
state-of-the-art Home Theater.

Matching loudspeakers
and amplifiers
Each AIW26B loudspeaker unit has been

with the RAM1 amplifier it is shipped
with. Never mix these matched amplifier-
loudspeaker systems in the installation
process. The matching units are marked with
the same ID number on the reflex port of the
AIW26B and the top panel of the RAM1.
Loudspeaker placement
Genelec AIW26B loudspeakers are
equipped with Genelec’s proprietary
Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). One
of the main characteristics of the DCW
technology is that the loudspeakers give
a very even and consistent frequency
response over a larger listening area than
conventional loudspeakers. A secondary
function of the DCW is to reduce the off-axis
radiated sound energy, thereby minimizing
