Genelec 8260A Overview page 3

Genelec 8200 Series DSP Technology
The sophisticated acoustical design of the 8260A is complemented by Genelec DSP
Technology and GLM™ software, providing powerful and practical tools such as AutoCal™
for accurate alignment, calibration and control of the monitoring system in all situations.
Advanced Genelec DCW™
The innovative DCW™ is formed by
blending the new MDC™
perfectly with the enclosure
shape to provide extremely accurate
control of the speaker's directivity. This
acoustically optimized smooth DCW™
shape is integrated in the enclosure
and is maximized in area to achieve an
astoundingly flat on-axis and off-axis
frequency response.
MDC™ – Minimum Diffraction
Coaxial driver
The midrange driver cone forms a
smooth, continuous surface between the
tweeter and the enclosure. This prevents
acoustical diffractions. Diffractions are a
major cause of uneven high frequency
response in traditional coaxial drivers.
The smooth midrange surface contributes
to a perfect DCW™ behavior. The treble
and midrange drivers couple coherently
over their full operating bandwidths as a
single coincident point source.
MDE™ – Minimum Diffraction
Enclosure
In order to improve frequency and power
responses, Genelec has designed a
rugged enclosure, featuring acoustically
optimized rounded edges and gently
curved front and sides. In addition to
unsurpassed frequency response, the
minimized cabinet edge diffraction yields
superb imaging qualities.
