The document describes the Genelec 1092A and 1094A active subwoofer systems. The 1094A can reproduce frequencies from 29-80Hz and contains a 400W amplifier and a 15" driver. The 1092A reproduces frequencies from 33-80Hz and contains a 180W amplifier and two 8" drivers. Both systems have integrated amplifiers and crossovers, and can be used with other Genelec monitors for broadcast, studio, and home applications.
