Genelec 8030A Active Studio Monitor

8030A Active Studio Monitor description:

The Genelec 8030A (Single) Bi-amplified nearfield monitor system ideal for project and home studios, workstations, installations, and surround sound monitoring.

The Genelec 8030A (Single) is a powerful, compact, bi-amplified nearfield monitor system ideal for project and home studios, workstations, installations, and surround sound monitoring. The MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) enclosure has rounded edges and a gently curved front and sides to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction.

Like all Genelec 8000 Series monitors, the 8030 A also features the advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), a revolutionary flow-optimized reflex port design, optimized die-cast aluminium structure with extremely durable semi-matt finish and acoustically optimized metal grilles.

Low distortion drivers are driven by dedicated amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry and versatile room response controls are standard. The Genelec 8030A has versatile mounting features include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further M10 thread for mounting on the cabinet base.

Every Genelec 8030A monitor comes with an Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler) as standard. The Iso-Pod is a clever mounting stand, which allows the system to perform in either the vertical or horizontal position. It also enables the acoustic axis of the 8030 A monitor to be aimed at the listener, while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on. If very large sound levels and a low cutoff frequency are required the Genelec 8030A it can be complemented in stereo applications with the 7050B subwoofer and in surround applications with the 7060B subwoofer.

The main features of the Genelec 8030A (Single) include:
