GENELEC 8320A SAM LOUDSPEAKER Active, 2-way, 50/50W, 100dB, analogue in, dark grey

Genelec 8000 Series monitors, are two-way designs, each housed in Genelec's 'Minimum Diffraction Enclosure', an advanced, die-cast aluminium design, 'built for performance'. The 'sturdy, vibration-free' structure ensures diffraction-free sound reproduction even at highest output levels'. Other features include dedicated amplifiers for each driver, manual room-response control to help compensate for acoustic influences, and on-board overload protection.

8010A - 25/25watts, 76mm LF driver

A two-way bi-amplified active monitor designed and manufactured for professional applications such as near-field monitoring, portable recording, and OB vans, but equally suited to surround sound and multimedia systems. Both the 76mm bass driver and the 19mm, metal-domed, high-frequency driver have their own 25 watt amplifier to provide a long term RMS output of over 91dB SPL and a maximum peak output greater than 105dB. A switch on the back panel enables Genelec's 'Intelligent Signal Sensing' circuitry which switches the monitor to standby mode to save energy when no audio input is detected.

Tone controls offer the user flexibility of frequency output with a three step 'Bass Tilt' control to reduce low frequency response by -2dB, -4dB, or -6dB. 'Desktop' settings reduce low frequencies by 4dB at 200Hz, to compensate for the boost occurred when positioned on a table or similar surface. The front panel has a power indicator LED, on the rear there is an IEC power inlet and AC mains power switch. Accessories available are a floor stand (speaker vertical or horizontal using IsoPod), stand plate (necessary for use with floor stand) and soft carrying bag for two 8010A speakers.

Available in dark grey or white finish.

8020D - 50/50watts, 105mm LF driver

The 'Ones' are three-way, coaxial, active monitors, designed to cater for most professional studio environments including smaller studios where space is at a premium, high precision is required, and uneven sound colouration and frequency response need to be combated.

Manufactured using recycled aluminium, each compact monitor has a pair of concealed, oval, low-frequency drivers radiating through slots located on both ends of the enclosure, positioned to be acoustically coaxial with the mid-frequency and high-frequency drivers. This ensures acoustic axes are aligned, resulting in a more accurate point-source radiator. Additionally, using SAM (Smart Active Monitor) technology along with the Genelec GLM software application, which may be downloaded without charge, this range of monitors can be calibrated to ensure spectral balance is achieved for accurate listening.

Genelec SAM series monitor systems can be used with Genelec GLM Loudspeaker Manager kit (76-1548) for full operation.

8331A SAM - 72/36/36watts, coaxial

Available in black, dark grey, raw aluminium, and white versions, the 8331A SAM active, three-way monitor has dual 130 x 65mm, oval, low-frequency drivers, 90mm mid-range cone driver coaxial with a 19mm high-frequency metal dome. These drivers are fed by three integrated amplifiers, with 72W dedicated to the LF units, 36W to the MF, and 36W to the HF. A maximum, short-term output of 104dB SPL is complimented by a maximum long-term RMS output of 99dB SPL, and 0dB self-generated noise (at one metre, A-weighted). 8331A SAM monitor has a frequency response of 45Hz to 37kHz(-6dB) and 58Hz to 20kHz. +/-1.5dB. ISS (Intelligent Signal Sensing) senses when the loudspeaker has not received any audio input for a period of one hour, and switches the loudspeaker into sleep mode, consuming less than 0.5W. When an input signal is detected the monitor resumes normal operation and power consumption.

The front baffle has a green power LED; the IEC power inlet for the AC supply and latching power button are on the rear, along with audio and digital connectivity and switching. Dual seven-stage miniature (DIP) switches on the rear give access to functions such as 'Treble Tilt', to attenuate any frequencies above 5kHz by +2dB, -2dB, or -4dB in order to compensate for excessively bright or dull system setup and 'Bass Tilt' levels to attenuate frequencies below 800Hz at -2dB, -4dB, or -6dB, compensating for near-wall positioning and/or room brightness. ISS can be deactivated and DIP switches give access to LED on/off, bass roll-off (-2/-4dB, -6dB when both switches active), desktop reflection compensation to attenuate bass frequencies by 4dB at around 160Hz and a 'stored' setting. If activated, the 'stored' switch enables the monitor to recall the settings used in the GLM 3.0 calibration software, otherwise the monitor uses the adjustments set on the monitor. Switches for Digital A and B select the required digital audio channel (A or B), if both are selected channels A and B are summed and attenuated by 6dB to avoid overload. The user can reduce the monitor output by -10dB or -20dB (-30dB if both selected) by way of DIP switches. Two network connections are available to connect and link to a GLM network, a single balanced 3-pin XLR input is shared for digital in (AES/EBU) and analogue audio in. A single 3-pin XLR output can be used as a digital 'thru' port for AES/EBU signals.
