It The AIW26B can be used in the most 
demanding  applications,  like  the  main

Matching loudspeakers  

and amplifiers

Each AIW26B loudspeaker unit has been 
factory calibrated for optimum performance 
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 enclosure 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 
the reflections from the side walls, floor and 
ceiling. This results in a precise and stable 
sound image

If the AIW26B loudspeakers are used in an 

application where their capability for precise 
sound imaging is needed, such as the front 
channels of a Surround Sound system or 
a Stereo system, we recommend that the 
loudspeakers are placed as far as possible 
from wall corners and other reflective
