Genelec · SAM · Studio monitor
1235A
Product description
Two 15-inch woofers on a kilowatt each, a pair of 5-inch midranges and a compression tweeter: 3050 W and ≥130 dB short-term, in a 164 kg cabinet. This is the tier where a main monitor stops being furniture and becomes part of the building — it is designed to be flush-mounted, and the twin midranges keep the vertical pattern tight at the distances a large control room implies. SAM with GLM AutoCal. Sold individually. Made in Iisalmi, Finland.
