7350A SAM™ Studio Subwoofer

Genelec 7350A SAM™ Studio Subwoofer is a compact active subwoofer designed for accurate low-frequency monitoring in music production, broadcast and post-production studios. Its 205 mm (8-inch) driver and 150 W Class D amplifier extend the monitoring system’s response down to 22 Hz at −6 dB, helping engineers judge deep bass, kick drums and low-frequency effects with greater confidence. The 7350A is designed to complement Genelec 8320A and 8330A Smart Active Monitors and supports both stereo and multichannel setups. Balanced analogue connections, AES/EBU digital audio and Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) integration provide flexible routing and calibration for the listening position.

Creative Tools

• Hear the lowest octave of a mix when balancing kick drums, bass guitars and synthesizers. Extended low-frequency monitoring makes it easier to spot sustained notes, rumble or overlapping bass parts before committing to EQ and dynamics settings.
• Use active bass management to direct low frequencies to the subwoofer. Reducing the bass workload on the main monitors can give them more headroom and lets the system handle demanding low-frequency passages more comfortably.
• Build a compact stereo monitoring system around Genelec 8320A or 8330A SAM™ monitors. The extra bass extension is useful when checking electronic music, film cues or any material with content below the main monitors’ operating range.
• Route five analogue main channels and a dedicated LFE channel in a 5.1 monitoring setup. This lets you check the low-frequency effects feed alongside bass redirected from the main channels during surround mixing.
• Use GLM AutoCal™ with the separately available calibration kit to measure the system at the listening position. Adjustments to frequency response, level and crossover phase help the subwoofer blend with the monitors in the room.
• Connect to an AES/EBU digital monitoring chain via XLR, or use the balanced analogue connections with a compatible audio interface or monitor controller.
• Check bass-heavy transitions and effects at the listening position while editing. A monitoring system that reaches lower makes it easier to hear whether an impact decays naturally or leaves low-frequency energy that carries into the next scene.
• Use Intelligent Signal Sensing to let the subwoofer enter standby when audio stops, reducing power use between sessions.
