Genelec 7370 AP

Essential Information About the Genelec 7370A Subwoofer

• Deep and Controlled Bass: extension down to 19 Hz and 113 dB SPL for a solid foundation, even at high levels, with very low distortion.


• Optimized Spiral Port Bass-Reflex Enclosure: "laminar spiral" design for cleaner airflow and more precise bass.


• Integrated DSP and Bass Management: designed for 2.1 to 7.1 configurations, ideal for music, post-production, and broadcasting.


• Room Calibration and Perfect Integration: configuration and alignment possible via GLM (level, delay, phase, crossover frequency), for mixes that translate better.

A "Smart Active" Subwoofer Tailored for Demanding Studios

The Genelec 7370A belongs to the family of active subwoofers intended for professional environments where both extension, level, and flawless integration with monitors are expected. Compared to more compact models of the same philosophy, it clearly targets higher SPL and a wider bass extension, while maintaining a clean reproduction, essential for judging the balance of the low end, the clarity of the kick drum, the sustain of the bass, and the stability of bass in surround setups.

Its Bass-Reflex design with an optimized spiral port is engineered to minimize turbulence and maintain precise behavior at high levels. The result: a subwoofer that remains clean, stable, and reliable over time, even in heavily used control rooms.

Who Benefits and In Which Applications the 7370A Makes a Difference

The 7370A is aimed at sound engineers, sound designers, and mixers who want to rely on their decisions below 100 Hz: energy placement, sub-bass control, and low-end coherence across different listening systems. It is particularly relevant in music production (EDM, hip-hop, pop, bass-heavy music), post-production (LFE channel and effects management), as well as broadcast where consistency and inter-system translation are crucial.

Thanks to its multichannel connectivity and bass management, it integrates equally well into a high-end stereo setup or a 5.1/7.1 surround control room. The goal is not just to add bass, but to lock the alignment between monitors and subwoofer to avoid dips, peaks, and phase issues typical of small rooms.

DSP, Calibration, and Connectivity: Studio Integration Without Compromise

Bass Management and Alignments (Frequency, Phase, Delay)

The 7370A features an active DSP designed to manage crossover and subwoofer integration in 2.1 to 7.1 systems. Temporal alignment and phase coherence are essential to achieve a clear low-frequency spectrum: proper integration improves transient accuracy, impact sensation, and stability of bass element placement in the sound image (particularly useful in surround and LFE).

Room Analysis and Mode Compensation

In a studio, the low-frequency range is the most challenging to control: room modes, resonances, cancellations, and exaggerations vary greatly depending on listening position. The 7370A offers a room analysis function and DSP filters to compensate for acoustic influence, with room modes allowing fine-tuning of the response. Combined with calibration via GLM, the system can intelligently adjust crossover frequency, level, delay, and phase so the subwoofer blends seamlessly with the monitors, without "bloating" or holes in the bass.

Analog and Digital Connectivity for Modern Workflows

The 7370A is designed for real studio environments: 7.1 analog XLR inputs/outputs for multichannel configurations, and an AES/EBU XLR connection (input and output) to integrate a digital chain when the workflow requires it. This versatility facilitates adding the subwoofer into existing setups, whether in music production, film mixing, or broadcast control rooms.
