The W371A is a powerful powered subwoofer from Genelec, built with substantial dual-amplifier configuration and considerable mass. The W371A brings Genelec's more accomplished current professional engineering to serious dedicated bass reinforcement.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans a wide 23Hz to 500Hz - a remarkably broad bandwidth suggesting this subwoofer is engineered to reinforce a wide range from deep bass through midbass frequencies. Internal amplification delivers 2 x 400W - a substantial combined figure. At 110.8 x 40.0 x 40.0cm and 61kg, the W371A represents a serious subwoofer commitment.

Sound and use context

Expect authoritative bass reinforcement across the wide 23-500Hz band, reflecting the substantial dual-400W amplification, consistent with Genelec's professional studio-monitor engineering heritage.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the W371A connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, pairing naturally with Genelec's own active loudspeaker range.

Alternatives

Genelec's own flagship 7382A sits above this model with even greater amplification and mass for buyers wanting Genelec's absolute current flagship subwoofer engineering.
