Active Monitoring System
General description
The bi-amplified Genelec 6010A is an extremely compact two way active loudspeaker designed for home theaters and professional multimedia applications. As an active loudspeaker, it contains drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover filters and protection circuitry. The MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™) loudspeaker enclosure is made of diecast aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diffraction. Combined with the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™), this design provides excellent frequency balance in difficult acoustic environments. If necessary, the bass response of the 6010A's can be extended with a Genelec 5040A subwoofer.
Packing contents
Each 6010A is supplied with a wall bracket, a mains cable, a 3.5mm Jack to 2× RCA signal cable, an RCA to RCA signal cable, this operating manual and a quick setup guide. After unpacking, place the loudspeaker in its required listening position.
Mounting considerations
Align the loudspeakers correctly
Always place the loudspeakers so that their acoustic axes converge at ear height at the listening position (see Figures 1 and 2). Only vertical placement of loudspeakers is preferred, as it minimises acoustical cancellation problems around the crossover frequency.
Maintain symmetry
Check that the loudspeakers are placed symmetrically and at an equal distance from the listening position. If possible, place the system so that the listening position is on the centerline of the room and the loudspeakers are placed at an equal distance from the centerline.
Minimise reflections
Acoustic reflections from objects close to the loudspeakers like desks, cabinets, computer monitors etc. can cause unwanted colouration and blurring of the sound image. These reflections can be minimised by placing the loudspeaker clear of such surfaces.
Minimum clearances
Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and functioning of the reflex port must be ensured if the loudspeaker is installed in a restricted space such as a cabinet or integrated into a wall structure.
The surroundings of the loudspeaker must always be open to the listening room with a minimum clearance of 2.5 centimeters (1") behind, above and on both sides of the loudspeaker. The space adjacent to the amplifier must either be ventilated or sufficiently large to dissipate heat so that the ambient temperature does not rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95^)

Table 1: Suggested tone control settings for differing acoustical environments
| Loudspeaker Mounting Position Desktop Bass Tilt | ||
| Flat anechoic response | OFF OFF | |
| Free standing in a damped room | OFF OFF | |
| Free standing in a reverberant room | OFF -2 dB | |
| Near to a wall | OFF -6 dB | |
| Near field on a reflective surface | ON (-4 dB @ 200 Hz) -2 dB | |
| In a corner or a cabinet | OFF -6 dB |
Connections
Connect the loudspeaker to a mains connection with the supplied mains cable. Check that the loudspeaker and the signal source are powered off.
The 6010A has an unbalanced RCA 10 kOhm audio input connector. The signal cables provided with the loudspeaker allow it to be connected to a line level audio source with either 3.5mm Jack or RCA type audio connectors. Suitable audio sources are preamplifiers, computer sound cards, portable audio players, "PRE OUT" connectors on a Home Theater receiver etc.
As an active loudspeaker, the 6010A contains its own amplifiers, no separate power amplifier is needed. Never connect the 6010A to the loudspeaker outputs of a power amplifier or an integrated amplifier or receiver. Once the connections have been made, the loudspeakers are ready to be switched on.
Controls
The input sensitivity of the 6010A can be matched to the output of the audio source by
adjusting the "LEVEL" trim on the rear panel with a screwdriver.
The frequency response of the Genelec 6010A can be adjusted to match the acoustic environment by setting the tone control switches on the rear panel. The controls are "Bass Tilt" and "Desktop Control". Table 1 shows some examples of typical settings in various situations. Figure 4 shows the effect of the controls on the anechoic response.
The factory setting for all tone controls is "OFF" to give a flat anechoic response. Always start adjustment by setting all switches to "OFF" position. Measure or listen systematically through the different combinations of settings to find the best frequency balance.
Bass Tilt
The Bass Tilt control offers three attenuation levels for the bass response of the loudspeaker, usually necessary when the loudspeakers are placed near a wall or other room boundaries. The attenuation levels are -2 dB (switch 1 "ON"), -4 dB (switch 2 "ON") and -6 dB (both switches "ON").
Desktop Control
The "Desktop" low frequency control (switch 3) attenuates the bass frequencies around 200Hz by 4 dB. This feature is designed to compensate for the boost often occurring in this frequency range when there is a table or similar horizontal surface between the listener and the loudspeaker.
Mounting options
The 6010A offers several mounting options: The Iso-PodTM (Isolation Positioner/DecouplerTM) vibration insulating table stand allows tilting the loudspeaker for correct alignment of the acoustic axis. A rigid wall bracket provided with the 6010A allows suspending the loudspeaker on a wall in two different angles. On the rear of the loudspeaker is a 3/8 "UNC threaded hole compatible with standard microphone stands and a wide range of Genelec accessories. On the rear there are also three pairs of threaded holes compatible with Omnimount, VESA and Sanus brackets. For a full list of available options, please consult Genelec's accessories catalogue at www.genelec.com or contact your Genelec dealer.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are to be found within the amplifier unit. Any maintenance or repair of the 6010A unit should only be undertaken by qualified service personnel.
Safety considerations
Although the 6010A has been designed in accordance with international safety standards, the following warnings and cautions should be observed to ensure safe operation and to maintain the loudspeaker under safe operating conditions:
Servicing and adjustment must only be performed by qualified service personnel. The loudspeaker must not be opened.
Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or moisture. Do not place any objects filled with liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or near it.
This loudspeaker is capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.
Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeaker.
Note that the amplifier is not completely disconnected from the AC mains service unless the mains power cord is removed from the amplifier or the mains outlet.
Guarantee
This product is guaranteed for a period of two years against faults in materials or workmanship. Refer to supplier for full sales and guarantee terms.
