Genelec to showcase The Ones in Munich
- Details
“The Ones have had a phenomenal reception since their launch earlier this month, and High End provides the perfect opportunity for the wider audio community to appreciate these ground-breaking new loudspeakers,” says Siamak Naghian, Genelec’s managing director. “The number of big ideas contained within these small loudspeakers is truly remarkable, but no list of features can ever match up to the experience of simply listening to them.”
The Ones range comprises three models - the 8351, which has already established itself as the new standard in audio monitoring - and the newer, more compact 8331 and 8341 models. The Ones’ Ultimate Point Source design utilises concealed dual woofers and the acclaimed Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, to overcome the off-axis colouration associated with traditional loudspeaker designs. This gives the user more freedom of movement, rather than confining them to a narrow sweet spot, and The Ones’ spectacularly precise imaging means listener fatigue is minimised, even when listening for long periods.
To emphasise the broad range of Genelec’s product portfolio, visitors to the booth will also be able to see and hear the company’s full home audio range, comprising the G Series loudspeakers and F Series subwoofers. The G One, Two and Three models have all recently been upgraded to ‘B’ versions, which now feature a switched-mode power supply and Class D amplifiers for increased power output and SPL, as well as improved portability. Other improvements include the addition of two extra rear panel switches: one to reduce the level by 10dB, and one to control the Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) feature, which switches the speaker to a low-power ‘sleep’ mode when not being used for a period of time.
