Genelec G1BW White Two-Way Active Loudspeaker

The Genelec G1BW is a compact, high-performance two-way active loudspeaker designed for home audio enthusiasts who demand premium sound quality and elegant design. Part of Genelec’s G Series, this speaker—finished in a sleek white color (denoted by the "W" in G1BW)—blends Scandinavian aesthetics with cutting-edge audio technology. Crafted in Iisalmi, Finland since 1978 in collaboration with designer Harri Koskinen, the G1BW features a durable, eco-friendly recycled aluminum enclosure that enhances both its acoustic performance and sustainability.

Measuring just 7.7" H x 4.8" W x 4.5" D (with its included Iso-Pod stand), the G1BW is ideal for small spaces like desktops, bookshelves, or home theater setups. Its rear-ported bass-reflex design and rounded, minimalist edges ensure powerful low-end extension and a modern look that complements any interior. The Iso-Pod stand isolates the speaker from surfaces, reducing vibration while allowing adjustable tilting for precise sound alignment.

The G1BW delivers exceptional audio through a 3-inch woofer and 0.7-inch metal-dome tweeter, each powered by a dedicated 25W Class-D amplifier (50W total). With a frequency response of 74 Hz – 20 kHz (±2.5 dB) and a maximum SPL of 96 dB, it offers clear, detailed sound with tight bass and crisp highs. Genelec’s advanced technologies—Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), and optimized reflex port—ensure uncolored audio and a wide, consistent soundstage. Rear-panel room response controls (treble tilt, bass tilt, bass roll-off) allow customization to suit any environment.

Connectivity is simple with a single RCA input, compatible with computers, turntables (with preamp), or home theater receivers. The active design eliminates the need for external amps, while Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) reduces standby power to under 0.5W, reflecting Genelec’s eco-conscious ethos. For deeper bass, pair it with the Genelec F One subwoofer.

Perfect for near-field listening—whether for music, gaming, or compact surround systems—the G1BW combines audiophile-grade performance with a small footprint. Backed by a 5-year warranty (2+3 with registration), this speaker is a stylish, sustainable choice for discerning listeners.
