The Genelec 1039A is a very powerful monitor system, designed for large control rooms. It consists of a 320 litres speaker enclosure and a 7U 19" equipment rack which contains active crossovers, three channel power amplifiers and driver protection circuitry.

The speakers are designed for flush mounting in the control room wall, although they may be used free standing and can produce peak sound pressure levels in excess of 126 dB.

Bass, midrange and treble controls are included to allow the main monitors to be matched to the acoustic conditions in different control rooms.
