Genelec 7380A Smart Active Subwoofer Genelec has released the 7380A Smart Active Subwoofer, which is designed to deliver both high SPL and an extended low-distortion LF response in a compact enclosure. The new flagship product in the Smart Active Monitoring subwoofer range, the 7380A can be easily integrated into any monitoring system – from stereo to multi-channel, as well as part of a large-scale 3D Immersive setup . Equipped with a newly designed Class-D amplifier section, plus the benefits of Smart Active Monitoring technology, the 7380A pairs well with Genelec’s “The Ones” series of coaxial three-way monitors, particularly in the creation of Immersive systems for those working with Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, and DTS:X formats. Standing 26.97-in. in height with a width of 28.27-in. and depth of 19.37-in., the 7380A features an 800W Class-D amplifier driving a custom 15-in. long-throw woofer that, combined with Genelec’s LSE spiral enclosure, produces an SPL of 119 dB (123 dB peak) plus precise low-frequency response down to 16 Hz.

Universal Audio Neve Preamp Plug-In Universal Audio has released the Neve Preamp plug-in, which is an authen- tic end-to-end circuit emulation of a classic class-A, Neve mic preamp, exclusively for UAD hardware and UA audio interfaces. The Neve Preamp plug-in combines sonic attributes and features of both the 1073 and 1290 designs and provides all the bandwidth and characteristics of Rupert Neve’s original hardware design. By modeling the dual-stage “Red Knob” preamp and output amplifier, the Neve Preamp plug-in replicates the sound and behavior of the original preamp. The Neve Preamp also supports Universal Audio’s Unison technol- ogy, giving UA audio interface users the Neve preamp’s impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors.UAD-2 hardware owners can also employ the Neve Preamp plug-in for mixing and tone shaping without leaving the box. Thanks to its lower DSP usage, users can place Neve Preamp plug-in instances across multiple channels.
