Iisalmi, Finland – 7th August 2018… Signalling its intention to offer audio solutions for all
room sizes and applications, Genelec is today announcing the global launch of two new highSPL
SAM monitors – the two-way S360, and the 7382 subwoofer.

Both models are ideal for any professional application that demands high acoustic power or
listening at a distance; from large immersive setups in post-production studios or film mixing
stages to play-live monitoring in music production or EDM playback.

Housed in a compact, low diffraction enclosure with premium quality Finnish woodwork, the
S360 features a further enhanced 10-inch high efficiency and minimal distortion woofer
based on Genelec’s Master Series, and a completely integrated extended directivity control
waveguide DCW™, supporting its 1.7-inch titanium diaphragm compression tweeter. The
result combines the neutrality for which Genelec is known, with a short-term SPL capability of
118 dB – with peaks even higher – and a long throw capability that can provide reference
quality accuracy even at listening distances of over 10 metres (33 feet). The S360 offers the
benefits of main monitor performance in a condensed form factor, including excellent on-axis
characteristics and uncoloured 95-degree (h) to 75-degree (v) dispersion.

The S360 enclosure offers versatile in-wall and on-wall mounting options, while downfiring,
flow optimized laminar integrated reflex ports LIP™ ensure tight and noisefree
bass output and are also perfectly suited for use with perforated screens. Alternatively,
when the S360 is used in free-standing mode the innovative Iso-Plate™ effectively decouples
the monitor from its base, focusing low frequency output while preventing vibration transfer
and air turbulence. Further flexibility comes courtesy of the system electronics, which can be
either integrated into the enclosure or positioned remotely.

Knowing that the production of good content depends on monitors being correctly
positioned, level-aligned, time-aligned and room-compensated, the S360 offers full integration
with Genelec’s GLM™ software, allowing the configuration, calibration and monitor control of
more than 40 channels without the need for external processing.

The ideal companion for both the S360 and Genelec’s other large format monitors is the 7382
– Genelec’s most powerful subwoofer to date. Delivering precise, powerful low frequency
extension down to 15 Hz, the 7382 houses three custom-designed 15-inch long throw
woofers. Each benefits from the vibration-free environment of a heavily braced fibreboard
enclosure, with laminar flow bass reflex porting extending along the entire rear wall to ensure
low distortion and compression-free performance, even when the 7382 delivers outputs in
excess of 130 dB SPL.
Drawing on integrated processing and decades of research, the 7382 also works with GLM
software to control bass management, solve issues of subwoofer placement in unpredictable
rooms – or even to build entire arrays of Genelec subwoofers.

“With the launch of the S360 and 7382, we now have a comprehensive range of monitors
and subwoofers for all room sizes, SPL requirements and listening distances,” commented
Genelec Managing Director, Siamäk Naghian.

“Besides their compatibility with all types of high-SPL music applications, we see the S360
and 7382 finding their place in larger Immersive Audio systems, where the listener by
definition needs to find themselves utterly immersed in the experience, aware of every detail.
That same precision is at the heart of every Genelec monitor. It is why we believe so deeply in
the growth of these exciting new multichannel formats, and why we have produced the S360
and 7382: to realise that immersive potential like never before.”

The arrival of the S360 and 7382 coincides with the publication of a new set of educational
tools aimed at helping professionals to better understand and make use of Immersive Audio.
Titled Genelec Immersive Solutions, the publication will include a comprehensive overview of
the requirements for creating an effective immersive audio set-up, including insights into the
most commonly adopted formats and the Genelec solutions required to make the most of
them. Due to launch alongside the S360 and 7382, the publication will also be available for
download from www.genelec.com/immersive.
