Finnish studio monitor maker Genelec unveils the S360 at ISE 2019-- a smart active loudspeaker featuring a professional level of performance making it ideal for both residential and commercial application.
The S360 features a 10-inch high efficiency woofer and a 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression tweeter housed in an extended directivity control waveguide, housed in a low diffraction enclosure with Finnish woodwork. The result, the company says, delivers neutral reproduction with a short-term SPL capability of 118dB with even higher peaks.
