Genelec G1 2.1 Combo

*Product doesn't have a box but full quality check has been done. The unit is still in excellent working condition.

The G1 Active Speaker:

G One is equipped with a 76mm diameter woofer loaded with bass-reflex and a metallic dome tweeter 19mm in diameter. The subwoofer's tuning vent leads to the rear of the speaker where the Power button is also located, a three-position fader to adjust the woofer based on the location of the speaker, as well as the Cinch connector for signal input and the electrical outlet- these two elements being in the reinforcement of the bottom part.

The F1 Subwoofer:

The woofer and its tuning vent lead to the bottom of the F One woofer, where all the connectors and various settings are also to be found.

The F One can serve as part of a stereo installation like a home cinema, since it has six entries for the six available channels in this type of installation (right and left front channels, on Cinch or on Jack 3.5mm stereo, rear right and left channels, central channel, and effects or LFE channel, low frequency effects). In the case of a stereo source, the subwoofer channel is extracted from the right and left channels.

The Listening Experience:

It encourages, with a system like this, a good connection between the satellite speakers and the subwoofer, in frequency as in level, and also in phase so that the sound remains coherent and the woofers do not appear to play in the same area. Now let's move on to its settings -there are small switches on the speaker and on the box, allowing you to change the bass level and phasing.

This being done, the sound quality of this Genelec One G and F One speaker set , which we have connected to a DAC with variable output level, has proved to be a good performer, delivering very strong and deep bass on listening to the track Heart Like Mine from the Bee Gees album Size Isn't Everything while the voices are well defined and clear.

Listening to various sample tracks from the Marin Marais album Pièces favorites (Meslanges), the viola da gamba from Francois Joubert-Caillet, accompanied by all the Acheron group, delivers its entire range with harmony and a great hold of the low notes as well as consistency. All the instrumentalists merge into a sound stage showcasing the density and richness of the tones.

No problem for the Genelec G One speakers and F One subwoofer to reproduce the powerful notes of the track Christine from the album Chaleur Humaine by Christine and the Queens. Neither is it a problem to deliver a beautiful sound image accompanied by a clear and detailed reproduction on the rest of the audio tape.

In conclusion, this Genelec 2.1 G One and F One speaker system offers quality manufacturing that deserves special mention, while the option of upgrading to a 5.1 set, as well as its good sound performance, make it an attractive package made to last.
