March 2020 brings a proud new release from Genelec, the 1235A Smart Active Monitor. The new monitor fuses the sound and heritage of the iconic 1035 main monitor with high performance 96 kHz processing and the ability to adapt to any space through its tight integration with Genelec’s GLM calibration software.

For large music, film and post-production studios that demand high SPL and neutral, stable imaging that can be perfectly optimised for the room’s unique acoustic environment, the 1235A provides a very suitable solution.

Launched in 1989, the original 1035 became an industry standard throughout the world, fulfilling the need for a wall-mountable full-range monitor that could deliver true reference performance at high SPLs and over long listening distances.

With a short termSPL of 130dB and low frequency extension down to 29 Hz, the 1235A also delivers staggering power, but its transparent uncoloured performance ensures that the listener can still make accurate, reliable mix decisions even after long sessions.
