Genelec 8331 SAM Active Studio Monitor with DSP, Grey, Single

Main Features

• Space efficient size and design allow for astounding acoustical performance in various user environments
• Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACWTM) technology represents a new breakthrough in electroacoustic design
• Maximised Directivity Control Waveguide (MaxDCW™) produces controlled directivity over a very wide bandwidth
• Dual woofer design extends directivity control also to bass frequencies
• Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLMTM) computer control allows for repeatable, consistent performance over flexible proprietary network
• Genelec AutoCal™ measures the response in the listening area and applies relevant compensation to minimise the room's acoustical influences
• Equally perfect performance in both vertical and horizontal orientations

The Genelec 8331 offers an incredible three-way point source the size of a compact two-way. When space and precision is of the essence, nothing even comes close.

For applications calling for extraordinary imaging, extended frequency response, short to medium listening distance or long, fatigue-free working hours, The Ones - 8331, 8341 and 8351 - are in an elite league of their own. All being ultimate point source monitors, they combine a number of unique Genelec innovations with sustainable manufacturing, but without a single compromise on sound.

The Ones not only promote faster and more consistent production decision making, but also longer listening time than traditional loudspeakers, because unnatural imaging, a main contributor to listener fatigue, is minimised. Dispersion is controlled over an unusually wide frequency range thanks to the large integrated waveguide (DCW™) with the hidden dual woofers and orientation may be either horizontal or vertical. Their looks are striking too, either way you turn them.

The final touch when positioning mics, mixing or mastering is the most demanding. For such critical tasks, even when performed in small rooms or in ultra near field applications, 8331 offers an outstanding solution where none existed before. With the latest SAM technology included, 8331 always makes the best of the room and monitor placement. Use the Genelec GLM application and its auto-calibration function, based on experience from thousands of studios around the world, to compensate for detrimental room influence and delay, regardless if you work in mono, stereo or immersive formats.
