2-Way Active Monitor Systems
The current range demonstrates Genelec’s 30 years of experience in designing and manufacturing active loudspeakers. Those gentle enclosure curves are acoustically functional and the integrated amplifiers and active crossover circuits have been matched together with the custom made loudspeaker drivers.
The all aluminium Genelec 8000 Series Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™) has rounded edges that curve gently and seamlessly into the shapes of the Advanced Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) and the large rear-opening of the reflex tube. This long, curved reflex tube is flow optimized to increase the woofer's low frequency extension and SPL capacity. New low distortion drivers combined with carefully designed crossover filters result in improved resolution and less listening fatigue over the entire audio spectrum. The rubber based Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™) provides adjustable enclosure tilt to point the acoustical axis precisely towards the listener for best sound reproduction. The Iso-Pod™ prevents also coloration caused by conduction of unwanted vibration to the mounting surface. To learn more about these 8000 Series innovations and features, click here.
Features
and Benefits
 The
MDE™ Minimum Diffraction Enclosure
In order
to improve frequency and power responses, Genelec have designed
a highly innovative enclosure, featuring rounded edges and gently
curved front and sides. In addition to unsurpassed frequency response,
the minimized cabinet edge diffraction yields superb imaging qualities.
 Advanced
Genelec DCW™
The revolutionary DCW™ has been further
enhanced to provide extremely accurate control of the speaker's
directivity. This specially-shaped and very smooth surface is integrated
with the enclosure and its area has been maximized to achieve an
astoundingly flat on and off-axis frequency response. It provides
a wide and consistent listening window, minimizes harmful early
room reflections and other colorations associated with conventional
designs.
 Optimized
die-cast aluminium structure
Genelec have developed a very stiff and
sturdy, yet thin and light die-cast aluminium enclosure. The cabinet
wall curvature has been designed for best rigidity-to-weight ratio
and optimal damping to minimize wall resonances. This also maximizes
the internal volume improving LF-efficiency. The extremely durable
semi-matt finish and acoustically optimized metal grilles, allow
for intensive handling without damaging the monitor.
 High
performance reflex port design
To increase the woofer's low frequency extension
and SPL capacity, Genelec have designed an ingenious flow optimized
reflex port. The long, curved tube maximizes airflow so deep bass
can be reproduced without compression. The tube terminates with
a wide flare, minimizing port noises and providing excellent bass
articulation.
 New
low distortion drivers with sophisticated filtering technique
The new technology drivers were designed
in every detail for minimized distortion, smooth response and reliability.
The crossover filtering was carefully designed to complement each
drive unit and to have a rapid and smooth transition between the
drivers. Together with the MDE™ enclosure, these improvements mean
improved resolution and less listening fatigue over the entire audio
spectrum.
 Versatile
mounting features
The monitor can be optimally positioned
with the new versatile mounting features. These consist of integrated
rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further 3/8"
(8030A) or M10 (8040A, 8050A) thread for mounting at the bottom.
 Iso-Pod™
Isolation Positioner/Decoupler as standard
Every Genelec 8000 series monitor comes
with an Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™) as standard.
The rubber based Iso-Pod™ has adjustable speaker tilt so that the
acoustical axis can be pointed precisely towards the listener for
best sound reproduction. The isolation feature prevents coloration
caused by conduction of unwanted vibration to the mixing console
or other mounting surface.
