Know before you buy
The 7380 AP is built for professional monitoring environments ranging from 2.1 stereo setups up to 7.1 surround sound configurations. Its extensive connectivity and bass management make it a versatile choice for demanding production, mixing, and mastering suites.
Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) system uses advanced DSP to automatically calibrate the subwoofer to your specific room acoustics. This ensures a flat, accurate frequency response by compensating for room-induced colorations and standing waves.
Yes, the 7380 AP features comprehensive connectivity, including 7.1 analogue XLR inputs and outputs, as well as AES/EBU digital XLR inputs and outputs. This allows for seamless integration into both traditional analogue workflows and modern digital signal chains.
The flow-optimised design reduces turbulence and port noise, which allows the 15-inch driver to deliver clean, distortion-free low frequencies even at high output levels. This results in tighter, more precise bass reproduction compared to standard port designs.
The 7380 AP is a substantial unit measuring 685 x 718 x 492 mm and weighing 69 kg. Given its size and the 15-inch driver, you will need a dedicated floor space that allows for proper placement to achieve optimal acoustic performance.
No, it is an active subwoofer featuring a built-in 800 W Class-D amplifier. It is designed to be self-contained, meaning you only need to connect your signal source and power.
