Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Genelec 7050B Studio Subwoofer.

Features and functionality

  • The 7350 extends 2 Hz lower than the 7050, reaching 22 Hz, which may not significantly impact most users but might matter for specific sound design needs.

    Source
  • The 7350 includes DSP and digital inputs, which can optimize frequency and time domain responses in challenging room acoustics.

    Source
  • The Genelec 8030's built-in high-pass filter may not integrate well with non-Genelec subs due to differing low-pass filter slopes.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Genelec subwoofers are described as slower in attack and decay compared to PMC or Quested, potentially making them sound more "thunderous."

    Source
  • The 7050 and 7350 are acoustically identical, but the 7050 is more cost-effective if GLM is not a future consideration.

    Source
  • A 7070A subwoofer is recommended for deeper low-end response, but only in larger rooms to avoid overpowering the space.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • For electronic dance music (EDM) like psychedelic trance, a subwoofer can enhance the low-end experience, crucial for genres emphasizing bass and sub-bass.

    Source
  • Proper room treatment is emphasized as more impactful than calibration for achieving optimal sound quality, even with high-end speakers.

    Source
  • For professional EDM production, DSP is crucial for optimal low-frequency extension in specific room setups.

    Source
  • A subwoofer in a small, imperfect studio can still improve low-end monitoring for dance music, provided it's carefully integrated into the room's acoustics.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners without GLM-enabled main speakers and no plans to upgrade soon often find the 7050 sufficient, skipping the extra cost of the 7350.

    Source
  • Anechoic low-end extension is less impactful than room correction, emphasizing the importance of room-specific DSP solutions.

    Source
  • Subwoofer volume in small studios is often set very low, typically around 10%, to avoid overwhelming the room acoustics.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Using Room EQ Wizard with a Sonarworks mic can provide a more detailed room analysis than Sonarworks alone, aiding in subwoofer placement and calibration.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Adding limp mass membrane bass traps, rather than rockwool, is recommended for effective low-frequency room treatment in limited space.
