Genelec recently debuted the new 1236 Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) Main Monitor System and its individually calibrated 3U-high Remote Amplifier Module (RAM-XL) in a large format, flush-mounted main monitoring system. The new design is based on the high-efficiency proprietary double-18-inch bass driver design of Genelec’s 1036.

The 1236’s frequency response extends from 17 Hz to 26 kHz, and it is capable of delivering 130 dB SPL at 1 meter through a combination of modern digital signal processing and efficient Class D amplifiers, providing two channels of 1000 watts, 800 watts and 400 watts of short-term power into woofers, midrange and tweeter channels, respectively. The 37.75″ H x 46.5″ W x 25.625″ D enclosure features two 18-inch high-linearity woofers, with two Genelec proprietary high-efficiency five-inch midrange drivers, as well as a two-inch high compression tweeter, mounted in a very large Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) enclosure.

SAM technology is a vital part of the RAM-XL design. All crossovers, protection circuitry, and driver calibrations are implemented in the digital domain with the highest precision. In addition, the latest version (V2) of Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) and AutoCal couples with the 1236 to ensure that the speaker-to-room interface remains as near to perfect as possible from the moment the sound leaves the cabinet until it reaches the user’s ears.

Here are the specs.
