Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 32Hz to 25,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Internal amplification uses a sophisticated dual-channel configuration totalling 150W plus 120W - a substantial 270W combined figure. At 45.2 x 28.6 x 27.8cm and 14.4kg, the G Five maintains a manageable chassis for a professionally validated studio-derived design.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, professionally validated character Genelec's broader Finnish studio-monitor catalogue is celebrated for among recording and mixing engineers, with the sophisticated dual-amplifier 270W-total configuration providing dedicated power to each driver section.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the G Five requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component, audio interface or preamplifier with line-level input.
