The 1236A SAM is Genelec’s premier main monitor, featuring dual, high-linearity 18″ woofers, along with dual 5″ midrange drivers and a 2″ compression tweeter mounted in large proprietary waveguide, powered by 2x 1000W LF, 2x 400W MF, and 1x 250W HF optimized Class D amplifiers in the rack-mountable RAM-XL amp module, plus remote network GLM speaker management technology

When nothing but the biggest and best Genelec has to offer will do, the 1236A is the main monitor system sits at the top of the Genelec Master Monitor range. Built for large control rooms and film post facilities with multi-operator consoles, the 1236A enables engineers to make sonically informed decisions from every nuance of a high track-count mix at all points of the audible spectrum – and feel how the low-frequency effects will be experienced by the listeners. The 1236A’s amplification comprises 2 x 1000W, 800W, and 400W (low, mid, high) Class D amps, outputting 130dB SLP at 6.5 feet. These impressive figures are not just for volume. In order to overcome the inertia of dual 18″ drivers, these power ratings are necessary for accurate transient reproduction and realistic dynamic response across the 1236A’s equally impressive and accurate 21Hz to 20kHz (+/-2dB) frequency range. The 1236A enclosure features two proprietary high-efficiency 5″ midrange drivers and a 2″ compression driver mounted in a large proprietary waveguide, which creates a very wide and consistent off-axis response (or “sweet spot” as its known in technical jargon), which film post mix teams will find an essential asset. Naturally, the 1236A features Genelec’s networked Smart Active Monitoring with auto-calibration. The Genelec 1236A is where power and finesse meet.
