Genelec 8351BW

To counteract interference caused by separate low-frequency drivers, the woofers are positioned behind the front baffle. Sound radiation is guided through two slot-shaped openings above and below the baffle (based on a vertical setup). This design extends the radially symmetrical dispersion pattern even into the low-frequency range. Another advantage of this construction is that the synchronised woofers effectively combine to form a larger radiating surface, enabling extended deep-bass reproduction. The rounded die-cast aluminium housing also offers acoustic benefits: Thanks to its material properties and construction, it is highly rigid and resistant to unwanted vibrations. What is more, the elaborate, curved housing design avoids parallel walls, preventing standing waves inside the housing.

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.
