What types of damping materials are used inside Genelec monitor and subwoofer products? Are the materials safe to use?

Damping Materials Used in Our Monitors

Genelec products use various damping materials such as glass fiber wool, linen fiber wool, and polyester fiber based material (PES). The tables presented below provide a detailed listing of our monitor models and the type of damping material used in each model.

During operation, the air moving in and out of the monitor loudspeaker or subwoofer bass reflex openings does not emit significant amounts of fiber particle dust. The PES wool as material does not emit dust. The linen wool, and glass fiber wool can emit minimum amounts of dust during very high sound level operation. This fiber dust is not hazardous to health.

How does the input sensitivity work on Genelec speakers?

Input sensitivity can be controlled with a combination of a rotary controller and level range switches on the products. The sensitivity on SAM™ (Smart Active Monitoring) products can be set more precisely using the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software and a computer.

The nominal analogue input sensitivity in Genelec studio monitors is -6 dBu which produces 100 dB SPL audio output at 1 meter in an anechoic room.

The nominal digital input sensitivity is set so that a 0 dB FS digital input produces a theoretical 130 dB SPL sound level at 1 meter in an anechoic room.

The actual maximum SPL depends on the product capabilities and may be lower than 130 dB SPL.

How do I acoustically treat my room so that I get the best from my studio monitors?

Acoustic treatment

This is a very broad subject area covering room geometry, reverberation time, sound reflection and refraction, material properties, etc. However, we built a brief checklist to cover the most important features that a listening room should have. Once the room has been acoustically treated the studio monitors can be installed.

A Brief Checklist for Listening Room Setup

Ensure that the reverberation time is low and approximately constant with frequency.
Primary sources of reflection should be treated, so that reflected levels are at least 10 dB down from the direct sound pressure level at least during the first 15 ms after the arrival of the direct sound at the listening location.
The front wall should be hard and smooth if monitors are flush-mounted. The front wall can be absorptive if monitors are free-standing.

Setting Up Studio Monitors

Position the monitors according to the standard orientations (angles) from the listening position.
Position monitors at equal physical distance from the listening position, or use GLM AutoCal to electronically compensate for differences in monitor distances.
Position the monitors so that there are no cancellation effects from the side walls and the wall behind the monitor.
Turn the monitors towards the listening position horizontally and vertically.
Set the room compensation controls as suggested in the Operating Manual/Quick Setup Guide or use GLM AutoCal to compensate for the room acoustics in the case of SAM (Smart Active Monitoring) systems.

How does a rear reflex port opening work? What are the benefits of such design?

The key benefits of a reflex port opening in the rear of the cabinet

The main benefit of a reflex port in an enclosure is that it enables the loudspeaker to produce low frequencies at a very low distortion level, close to the frequencies where the bass reflex has been tuned. This enables very linear low frequency reproduction systems to be designed.

The bass reflex port allows air to move in and out. The reflex is effective if the energy losses of this air movement remain small. Because of this reason the reflex port is designed so that the speed of the air moving in the reflex port remains fairly small while the port is in resonance.

The direction where the bass reflex port is facing does not greatly influence the work of the bass reflex. While it is in resonance the reflex port generates low frequency sound. This sound sums with the low frequency sound output from the woofer at other frequencies. The distance and location of the bass reflex port is designed so that this summation works correctly.

If the reflex port is not sufficiently large, the air motion in the port can become turbulent (non-linear). This will dramatically increase air flow losses in the reflex port. The higher flow losses can cause the bass reflex to stops working. This will change the low frequency characteristics of the loudspeaker. In Genelec designs we take care to dimension the reflex port to have sufficient capacity to support the system up to the maximum sound level output.

Our reflex port design also minimizes the audibility of air flow in the port. That's because the port opening is faced away from the listener. When the air flow in the port generates noise, this noise is typically 10…20 times higher in frequency than the port tuning frequency. The flow noise is therefore rather directional, and by having the port opening in the back, this noise is well attenuated compared to having a port in the front and directing such noises towards the listener.

Summarizing the key benefits

It allows to have a maximized waveguide (DCW) area on the enclosure front
It minimizes acoustic diffraction as the front of the enclosure has no holes, vents or slots. This is especially significant near the tweeter.
The port opening, or flare, can be significantly larger, ensuring laminar flow up to high sound level outputs, high linearity and low system distortion at woofer frequencies.
It minimizes the audibility of air flow in the port.

Tips for a proper studio monitor placement

In several Genelec products the bass reflex port opening is behind the enclosure. When you push the loudspeaker close to a wall, a small gap to the wall is needed to enable the bass reflex to work at full capacity. Our experiences show that a distance of twice (2x) the port diameter from the wall to the enclosure back is a very safe distance.

I have no preamp outputs on my equipment. Can I connect my monitors to the speaker outputs of my power amplifier?

Yes and No. Do not connect the monitors directly to a power amplifier output, as the monitor's input stage will be damaged. Use the simple attenuator design shown below. Be sure to make all of the connections shown to minimize noise interference. The 2-core method is preferred over the 1-core method as it gives increased noise immunity and less signal distortion. It is important that all of the connections are made otherwise there could be a loss of input signal level (e.g. XLR pin 3 left floating) or induced hum (e.g. chassis ground and audio ground connected together) due to ground loops.

Please note: do not connect the XLR chassis to XLR pin 1, as this will compromise the RF immunity of the monitor's electronics.

-connection to power amplifier

Amplifier speaker output (max 100W) to XLR input using 2-core or 1-core + screen microphone cable.

Warning!

Do not use this method on bridged amplifier designs as your amplifier may be damaged.
Speaker wires should be used between the amplifier and the attenuator.
Screened (shielded) wires should be used from the attenuator to the monitor input.
One attenuator is required per monitor channel.
