1036A Control Room Monitoring System
SYSTEM
The Genelec 1036A is an extremely
powerful monitor system, designed
for large control rooms. It consists
of a 430 net liter speaker enclosure
and a 19" electronics rack, which
contains active crossovers, three
channel power amplifiers and so-
phisticated
protection
and
diagnostic circuitry. The 1036A is
designed for flush mounting in the
control room wall, although it may
be used free standing and can
produce peak sound pressure lev-
els in excess of 136 dB.
Bass, midrange and treble controls
are included to allow the speaker to
be matched to the acoustic condi-
tions of different control rooms. The
sensitivity of the system to its envi-
ronment is minimized by the unique
Directivity Control Waveguide
(DCW) Technology, which provides
excellent stereo imaging and fre-
quency balance even in difficult
acoustic situations. The system

can be used in both vertical and
horizontal orientations by simply
rotating the DCW unit.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
The Audio Processing Unit (APU),
which contains the crossover, also
contains diagnostic and protection
circuits. These monitor the ampli-
fier channels for each driver and will
automatically reduce the monitor's
input gain, to protect a driver from
overload and distortion. Reducing
the gain of the entire monitor, rather
than just that of the overloaded
channel, preserves its frequency
balance. The protection circuitry
also guards against DC, shorting
and excessive temperature, and
will take appropriate action to pre-
vent damage. LED displays show
the system's condition in detail on
the APU front panel and in summa-
rized form on the loudspeaker
enclosure.
AMPLIFIERS
The treble, midrange and bass
amplifiers produce 300, 600 and 2
x 1100 watts of short term power,
respectively, with very low harmonic
and inter-modulation distortion. The
electronics have been carefully
designed to ensure the highest sub-
jective sound quality currently
possible. Thermal protection is
provided for the amplifiers. A stan-
dard 5 m, 10 core cable is supplied
for the speaker connection. Longer
lengths are available on applica-
tion.
