Powerful bass for pro studios
The Genelec 7050 CPM is a subwoofer that will bring powerful and transparent bass to every studio's control room. Its low-distortion sound is characterised by its clean low frequencies, which begin at 24Hz. The rear panel is fitted with five analogue I/Os for connecting a multi-channel set-up, as well as an LFE input. The Genelec 7050 CPM's integrated bass management technology filters out any low bass frequencies from the channels connected to it, reproducing them through the unit itself. In addition, settings for sound enhancement can be made directly on the subwoofer using its internal DIP switches, enabling a perfect setup in any control room. All these features make this subwoofer a great professional solution for modern stereo production.

Perfect features for every space
The Genelec 7050 CPM is equipped with a 8" woofer, which is housed in Genelec's specially developed Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE) bass reflex cabinet. It reproduces frequencies from 34 to 85Hz with a roll-off of -6dB, and is driven by a Class D amplifier with an output of 130W. An electronic system stops the driver from overloading and short-circuiting, as well as protecting the amplifier from thermal overload. The 7050 CPM can achieve a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 103dB. It comes fitted with five analogue inputs and outputs in XLR format on the rear, which can be used to connect up to five speakers in a multi-channel set-up. The DIP switches can be used to directly adjust roll-off, phase, signal gain, and other settings.

Precise and transparent bass
The Genelec 7050 CPM was designed for professional studio operators who are looking for an effective, production-standard subwoofer: The unit complements the Genelec 8010 AP or Genelec 8020 near-field monitors perfectly. Genelec's proprietary bass reflex cabinet lets the 7050 CPM achieve high sound pressure levels, resulting in a powerful low end while ensuring precise and transparent bass notes. In addition, Intelligent Signal Sensing can be activated via a DIP switch, meaning that the unit has an economical power consumption of just 0.5W in standby mode. The 17.3kg (38.1lb) subwoofer is also easy to transport thanks to its elegant, open-frame design, while the two struts can serve as carrying handles.

About Genelec
Genelec was founded in 1976 by Ilpo Martikainen. It grew from a family business into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional studio and broadcasting loudspeakers. To this day, Genelec’s loudspeakers are manufactured exclusively in Finland. Genelec offers performance-oriented, neutral-sounding loudspeakers and subwoofer systems for audio professionals and sound enthusiasts, and a combination of innovative technology and design ensure that the range of products is continuously improving. The company is committed to sustainable development and environmental awareness. In 2018, Genelec was awarded the Pro Sound "Company of the Year" award. Genelec speakers are favourites of such recording industry veterans as Obie O'Brien, Michael Carnes, and David Reitzas, as well as of producers like Hardwell, Keith Ross, and Vini Vici.
Place carefully for peak performance
As low-frequency vibrations have a major impact on the sound of a room, the subwoofer should be positioned carefully in the user's sound control room. The distance between the Genelec 7050 CPM's driver and the front wall should be less than 0.6 metres (under 2'), with an ideal space of at least 10 metres (over 32') in front of the driver. Carpeting under the subwoofer will help to absorb vibrations in the room. The DIP switches should be used to set a suitable roll-off in relation to the distance from the wall; if the Genelec 7040 APM is being used free-standing, a value of -8dB should be set. If the linearity of the frequency response needs further improvement, users are advised to move the subwoofer slightly to the right or left.
