Genelec Inc., the pioneer in Active Monitoring technology for over three decades, offers home theater and custom installers the most advanced active speaker solutions with its line of discreet, low profile models. A particular example is the AIWS5041A Active In-Wall Subwoofer, which, along with other leading Genelec models such as the AIW25 Active In-Wall Loudspeaker, the AIC25 Active In-Ceiling Loudspeaker and the AOW312 Active On-Wall Loudspeaker, constitutes Genelec’s range of architectural solutions. Each model is designed to meet the needs of the custom installer and underscores Genelec’s ongoing commitment to the high-end home theater and custom installation market.
The AIWS5041A is Genelec’s first active in-wall subwoofer, and like all Genelec Custom Installation products, it offers the unmatched performance and uncompromising sound quality for which Genelec has been known for over 30 years. Equipped with a pair of 6_” drivers and a tuned port, it can be mounted in any standard 16″ stud bay.
