Genelec TRIAMP 1022A
PAIR OF STUDIO MASTER REFERENCE MONITORSIndividually hand-made in Finland.
THEY'RE BIG! AND THEY WEIGH JUST UNDER 30Kg EACH
Bought from a studio with other items and spare speaker units for them, we have nearly finished refurbishing them and they will be ready to send or take away in the next few weeks, so we are now offering them for sale to the highest bidder.Work carried out so far:Aside from cleaning them thoroughly, inside and out, we have replaced one of the tri-amp amplifier boards with a completely new same-model board we purchased from Genelec for £700.The other speakers' tri-amp amplifier board has had a thorough going over and various dodgy looking joints have been re-soldered by a highly competent main repairer for £129.00.We have replaced one of the mid-range speakers in one of the cabinets with a new same-model mid-range speaker because it was dead.
Work remaining:The bass woofer in one of the cabinets is shorting so we've sent it off to have it looked at to see if a repair is possible, and if not, we shall be replacing the bass woofer with a brand new same-model one from Genelec if we can get one.ABOUT THESE SPEAKERS:The enclosures are marked, but not so much that the average studio or mastering facility owner would object. If you intend to buy them for your home auditorium or cinema then you might consider having them French polished to make them look like new.
These studio reference monitors are designed for use in medium size broadcasting, drama and music studios as well as in post-production in film and broadcast TV facilities and, for audiophiles, for use in their home cinemas / auditorium.MORE INFORMATION and PHOTOSGenelec's 1022A's boast:
acoustically designed for critical music/sound monitoring /mastering no off-axis colouration
± 2 dB from 38 Hz to 20 kHz 110 dB SPL per pair in a normally damped 60 m³ control room three integrated power amplifiers (tri-amped) active filters and symmetric input 9mm x 60mm ribbon used for high frequencies (now back in vogue)
bass system has 6th order Butterworth characteristics extending to 38 Hz (-3 dB) typical system distortion at nominal output = 0.01% (THD, SMPTE, CCIF-IM, DIM) suitable for rooms up to 125 m³ extremely reliableThe 1022A by Genelec is the speaker that introduced Genelec's proprietary Direct Control Waveguide Technology (DCW), which increases performance by matching the frequency response and directivity of the drivers. There's more on that later.The Genelec 1022A monitoring speaker is a three-way system with three integrated power amplifiers and an active crossover network.
Thanks to its broad bandwidth and high output, it is ideal for either stereo or multichannel music recording studios, mastering and broadcasting facilities, editing suites, and drama studios.Sound-wise, they will fit in with a multi-channel system using other high-end speakers such as JBL, Event, KRK, Adam, Yamaha, etc.

The system includes drivers, enclosure, multiple power amplifiers (3x), active low signal level crossovers, precise room response controls and protection circuitry.The 1022A active monitoring system features a surface optimized advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) which provides outstanding on and off-axis frequency response as well as stable and neutral sound imaging in all production environments.Genelec’s Revolutionary & Predictable Directivity Control Waveguide™ TechnologyGenelec’s revolutionary Directivity Control Waveguide™ technology was first developed around 1980. It can greatly improve the performance of a direct- radiating multi-way loudspeaker. The Directivity Control Waveguide™ [DCW™] is designed to match the frequency response [inside of their limitations] and directivity characteristics of the drivers in the loudspeaker. This results in an excellent flatness of the overall frequency response for on and off-axis listening positions.Genelec is successfully dealing with several issues here:
Linear response both on and off axis for wider usable listening area Increased direct-to-reflected sound ratio for reduced listening room sound colouration Improved sound stage imaging Increased driver efficiency Increased system Sound Pressure Level capacity Decreased drive unit distortion Reduced cabinet edge diffraction Reduced system distortion
Secondary RadiationThe DCW™ waveguide matches the frequency response and directivity characteristics of the drivers within a Genelec loudspeaker. This science applied results in the uniformity of overall frequency response for listeners that are on axis as well as off axis listening positions.The improved directivity control reduces interaction with the room and as a result reduces the amount of reflected sound energy reaching the listening area confusing the spacial perception and image. Your client will be able to easily localize sound sources and enjoy a remarkable soundstage in their music and movies.The DCW technology also improves the speaker sensitivity up to +6 dB, and as a result, increases the maximum sound pressure level as well as dramatically decreasing the speaker system’s distortion..Genelec Active Monitors Key Technologies: Full Video (click above).
TIPS ON SETTING UP
Wondered why the Genelec 1022A looks strange? Wonder no more, it's because the housing design strictly follows the ultimate acoustic requirements, and yet allows it to stand on a floor or be suspended in mid-air!Their original price was around the equivalent of €5,000 in 1985 when Genelec first introduced them, that's around €14,000 in today's money - but you did get a lot of speaker (and amplifiers) for your money.
The speakers we are selling were tested by the manufacturer on May 5th 1993, but they most likely had an earlier date of manufacture because we believe that Genelec stopped producing them in 1990.
WARNING! These speakers are capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.

We prefer cash on collection (Uxbridge) but can deliver them to you if you are within 100 miles of Heathrow airport. Alternatively we can pack them very well and send them by courier.SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE U.K.
International buyers should contact us first for an exact shipping quotation.If the foregoing does not attract you, perhaps your should try to get hold of a pair of these instead:Darth Vader fan or not, there are few studio monitors out there that can surpass these legendary speakers in terms of their acoustically optimised enclosures and in terms of the accuracy of the pure sound that emanates from them.Here are a sample of a few speakers we've found for your entertainment: Magico revealed a special edition speaker at a somewhat weighty cost of £130,000. It's fair to say that such a high-end price tag places the M Project beyond the reach of many consumers, but everything's relative, no? That's because £130,000 doesn't even come close to some of the most expensive speakers ever produced. We decided to do a little bit of detective work to see how Magico's M Project compares against the speakers that would put an even bigger hole in your pocket. Indulgent? Extravagant? Perhaps. Expensive? You bet... so here's what we found (prices have been converted into pounds where appropriate): Final Audio Opus 204 – £295,000 CAT MBX Powered Speakers – £295,000 CAT says its MBX systems have been known to top $16m! Custom-built, these speakers weigh five tonnes each and house 22in subwoofers; 9in woofers; 5.5in mid-range speakers; and 1.25in tweeters. We also understand the enclosures are more than 8in thick and built using CAT's own secret lamination process. Backes & Muller BM 100 – £295,000 We're still hovering around the half-a-million dollars mark with these towering Backes & Müller BM 100s, which will need a bit of space given their height of 230cm (or 7ft 6in). One of the most impressive features is its large mid-range horn, that measures 2.3m high and a front area spanning 1.75sq m. Moon Audio Signature Titan II – £306,000 With a listed retail price of $520,000 a pair, the Signature Titan II is a limited edition speaker described by Moon Audio as the first in a series of "ultra-limited edition functional acoustic art works". Each pair has been signed by the designer, and its limited edition tag is not to be taken lightly - one pair reportedly went for $2 million Magico Ultimate III – £353,000 At $600,000 a pair, the Magico Ultimate III's stand nearly 8ft tall and is an all-aluminium, five-way horn-loaded system. It's reported to require 10 amplifiers, with technical aspects including the throats of each horn that feature a high-sensitivity compression driver among others. Wisdom Audio Infinite Wisdom Grande – £412,000 With the Wisdom Audio Infinite Wisdom Grande, we're now starting to really move up the price ladder. And these are large units, weighing in at a total of nearly two tonnes and standing more than 8ft tall - designed for "multi-level rooms in the largest homes and palaces, great halls and ballrooms" no less. Kharma Grand Enigma – £589,000 The Dutch high-end audio manufacturer's Exquisite Extreme Grand Limited Edition 25 might seem expensive enough at a reported £318K a pair, but the Grand Enigma soars higher than that. A one-off, this system was said to have been designed in a huge cellar in Belgium and with a dollar price tag with six noughts on the end. Moon Audio Opulence – £648,000 Moon Audio makes a second appearance in this list with an even more ostentatious speaker than the first. Just 10 pairs were produced at a cost of $1.1m, with the ominous sounding Dark Star on board - something the company claims offers "an optional second way of experiencing music, which is independent of the drivers in the speaker itself and delivers music into the listener's brain, bypassing the ears". How it works, we don't know - but we're confident the ears won't be rendered obsolete just yet. Transmission Audio Ultimate – £1.2m Transmission Audio is proud of the Ultimate. If you wanted to compare it to sports cars, the manufacturer says, you'd have to "combine the specifications of Ferrari, Masserati and Koenigsegg in one chassis". A complete pair with amplifiers isn't exactly a snip at $2m, with plenty of components going into a full stereo two channel set-up: four Dipole Subwoofers, each containing 10 pieces of 15in Ultra Class elements; two Dipole Woofers (one per channel), each containing 24 pieces of Ultra low distortion, 8in Wide band woofers; four Dipole MF/HF ribbon panels (two per channel), each containing 14m of 2 inch wide ribbons; and two Dipole HF Super ribbon panels (one per channel), each containing 2m of 1in ribbons. Little surprise it stands more than 7ft tall, then... Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure – £5m Rub your eyes as much as you wish, but that won't change the fact the price you see for this pair of stunning speakers is a cool £5m. If we owned them, we'd almost be scared to use the speakers for their intended purpose out of fear that we might do some damage and have to come up with another sizeable chunk of cash to replace them. So what makes this such an expensive pair of speakers? It's just a hunch, but we reckon it has something to do with the 76cm cabinet that has been cast in 24-carat gold...SPARESWe have 2 mid-range speakers and 2 ribbon speakers for the top end which we'll be selling on eBay as spares once we've checked them out thoroughly. If you need a speaker for your 1022A's then don't hesitate to send us a message.
