Sound & Vision 2007 Editors' Choice Awards Audio
Genelec is proud to announce that the Play 6020 Active Speaker System – featuring 5x 6020A active speakers and a 5050A active subwoofer – has won the ‘2007 Editors' Choice Awards Audio’ of the Sound & Vision magazine. Here is the award announcement from Sound & Vision magazine.
Before considering these speakers, you might need to recalibrate your thinking. While the idea of powered subwoofers seems self-evident, the idea of powered satellites might seem odd. But it makes perfect sense to dedicate an amplifier, and tailor its 
frequency response, to a specific speaker. This is often the case in studio monitors, but still a rarity in home models. You might also need to adjust your idea of playback accuracy. Many home speakers are hyped to sound good. By contrast, professional monitors are designed to be ruthlessly accurate. Enter the Genelec Play 6020 speakers ($3,999), home models derived from the company's legendary line of pro monitors. These self-powered speakers have a response that's flatter than Kansas and will faithfully reproduce your recordings. There's a very good chance that many of your recordings were mixed on Genelec speakers. So, by playing them back on Genelecs, you're a step closer to hearing what the mixing engineer intended. Besides, if you buy these speakers for your house, you can always open a recording studio.
