Genelec 1238ACPM SAM™ Studio Monitor

High-SPL Three-Way Studio Monitor with Dual 10-Inch Woofers
The Genelec 1238ACPM SAM™ Studio Monitor is a tri-amplified, Smart Active Monitoring system designed for large control rooms, mastering suites, and post-production environments that demand high output and uncompromising accuracy. Featuring dual 10" woofers, a 5" midrange driver, and a 1" tweeter—all powered by separate amplifier channels—the 1238ACPM delivers detailed full-range monitoring with precise imaging and consistent performance, even at high SPLs.

Remote RAM-L Amplifier for Thermal Isolation and Easy Setup
This model includes Genelec’s advanced RAM-L (Remote Amplifier Module), which can be rack-mounted or placed up to 10 meters away using the included cable. The amplifier houses 500 watts for low frequencies, 250 watts for mids, and 200 watts for highs, enabling powerful, distortion-free playback. Remote mounting helps reduce heat buildup in the speaker cabinet while offering installation flexibility for complex studio layouts.

Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Room Calibration
As part of the SAM series, the 1238ACPM integrates with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software for precise AutoCal™ room response calibration. This allows the monitor to automatically adjust for room acoustics, optimizing frequency response, level, and delay to deliver consistent, neutral performance in virtually any space. It's an essential tool for mixing and mastering engineers working in acoustically varied environments or large-scale control rooms.

Dual-Woofer Design for Extended Low-End Performance
The twin 10-inch drivers in the 1238ACPM provide extended low-frequency response and controlled bass reproduction, making it a strong choice for monitoring complex low-end content in music, film, or broadcast applications. The dual woofer configuration also enhances headroom and minimizes distortion, ensuring clarity even during sessions that demand maximum SPL.

Handcrafted Midrange for Critical Audio Work
At the core of its sonic precision is the proprietary 5" midrange driver, hand-built in Genelec’s Finnish factory. Designed for superior transient response and low distortion, this driver ensures vocal and mid-band content is reproduced with clarity and definition. This level of midrange precision is vital for critical decisions in dialogue editing, vocal processing, and mastering tasks.

Designed for Seamless System Integration
The 1238ACPM is fully compatible with other Smart Active Monitors and subwoofers in the Genelec ecosystem. Whether you're configuring a stereo mastering setup or a large immersive mix stage, this monitor integrates easily and calibrates uniformly through GLM, ensuring a cohesive monitoring experience across all channels.

Ideal for Mastering, Broadcast, and Post-Production Facilities
With its tri-amplified power, dual-woofer architecture, DSP calibration, and remote amp flexibility, the 1238ACPM is optimized for demanding professional environments. It’s built to handle high SPL monitoring without sacrificing detail, making it ideal for facilities working on high-resolution audio, multichannel film mixes, and mission-critical content delivery.
