Notes: 8010A

Studio Monitor

The 8010A squeezes true reference performance and extended frequency response into an extremely compact package.

Small size, huge performance

When studio space is limited or you record on the move, the 8010A is your reliable monitoring companion. Don't be fooled by its affordable price tag and modest dimensions, the 8010A is every bit a Genelec pro monitor: uncoloured, accurate and powerful.

Trust is everything

A combination of enclosure, driver and electronic design gives the 8010A extremely neutral characteristics and the ability to adapt to your space via simple rear panel room compensation switches. So whether you're in a bedroom studio, hotel room or OB van, you can always trust what you're hearing.

Notes: Ultra-compact monitoring from Genelec's world-renowned 8000 series, available here in raw metal finish. 67 Hz - 25 kHz response from boxes weighing in at just 1.5 kg and standing under 20 cm tall.

Supplier's Notes:
The Genelec 8010 allows professionals to work in compact studios and on the move with an accurate monitoring tool.

The Genelec 8000 Series is widely used in broadcast, music and post-production studios around the world.

The ease of installation and outstanding sound quality make Genelec 8010 monitors ideal for small studios, OB vans, and perfect companions for portable recording devices and other mobile work.

The new RAW (unfinished) option is an eco-friendly alternative available across many of Genelec's popular studio monitors. Instead of the traditional painted or lacquered exterior, the RAW models feature an unpainted, natural aluminium casing, giving the monitors a distinct industrial look that highlights the raw material's natural texture and colour. The aluminium casing on RAW models is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, ensuring these monitors maintain their quality over time.

Notes: When workspace is at a premium, don't compromise on quality. With the 8020D, Genelec's renowned accuracy and reliability will fit your project and your space.

The Genelec 8020D is small in dimensions, but big in ambition. The 8020D, introduced in 2017, even delivers 4 dB higher SPL and has a lower energy consumption than earlier models of 8020. Designed to suit the broadest possible range of listening environments, 8020D thrives when space is at a premium, and draws on the innovation of the 8000 Series for an unrivalled near-field experience.

Trust in the colour-free, accurate reproduction of the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), while relying on the precise on- and off-axis frequency reproduction of the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). And when you're finished, Genelec Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry detects when your system is no longer in use, placing it into an environmentally friendly, power-saving standby mode. From post-production studios to OB vans and DAW-based rooms, the 8020D is your near-field solution of choice.

Notes: Compact dimensions, big sound. Higher SPL and lower bass extension than the classic 8010 and 8020 models, offering low frequencies down to 47 Hz. Ideal for medium-sized studio spaces.

Supplier's Notes:
If you love the compact format of the 8010 and 8020 models but demand higher SPL and more bass extension, meet the 8030C.

Notes: The Genelec 8040BMM studio monitor is a major upgrade from their 8040A model, adding ISS power management to an already amazing nearfield monitor. Boasting performance comparable to much larger systems, but in a compact package, the bi-amplified Genelec 8040BMM is ideal for use in many situations where a wide frequency response is needed but space is limited. Whether you're building your project studio, outfitting your mobile rig, or upgrading your editing suite, you're going to be glad you chose the Genelec 8040BMM studio monitors.

The 8040BMM features Genelec's MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) with rounded edges and gently curved front and sides. This allows the 8040BMM to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimised cabinet edge diffraction.

Like all Genelec 8000 Series monitors, the 8040BMM also features the advanced Genelec DCW (Directivity Control Waveguide). The revolutionary DCW has been further enhanced to provide extremely accurate control of the 8040BMM's directivity. Genelec designed this specially shaped, very smooth surface and integrated it with the enclosure. Its area has been maximised to achieve an astoundingly flat on and off axis frequency response. As a result, the 8040BMM has an astoundingly wide, flat frequency response both on and off axis. This also gives the 8040BMM superb imaging qualities and reduces listening fatigue.

To increase the 8040BMM woofer's low frequency extension and SPL capacity, Genelec designed an ingenious flow optimised reflex port. The long, curved tube maximises airflow, so the 8040BMM can reproduce deep bass without compression. The tube terminates with a wide flare, minimising port noises and providing excellent bass articulation. An optimised die cast aluminium structure with extremely durable semi matte finish and acoustically optimised metal grilles add to the 8040BMM's acoustic excellence.

Genelec's low distortion drivers (6.5" bass speakers and 3/4" metal dome tweeters) are driven by the 8040BMM's dedicated 90 watt bass and treble amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry, and versatile room response controls are standard.

Thanks to Genelec's ISS (Intelligent Signal Sensing) power management system, you never have to remember to shut down your 8040BMM monitors again. ISS constantly checks for input signal. After a while, if ISS doesn't detect anything, it switches your 8040BMM over to a low power sleep state, safeguarding your gear and sparing you the wasted electricity.

The versatile mounting features on the 8040BMM include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further M10 thread for mounting on the cabinet base. In addition, every Genelec 8040BMM monitor comes with a standard IsoPod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler). The IsoPod is a clever mounting stand, which allows the 8040BMM to perform in either the vertical or horizontal position. The IsoPod also enables the acoustic axis of the monitor to be aimed at the listener while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on.
