Genelec 8331A SAM Three-way Coaxial Monitor System

Genelec 8331A – Compact 3-Way Coaxial Studio Monitor

Incredible three-way point source monitor with the footprint of a compact two-way. When space and precision is of the essence, nothing even comes close. The smallest in The Ones series, the 8331A is perfect for small rooms or ultra-nearfield applications, and offers an outstanding solution where none existed before. And in conjunction with our GLM calibration software, the 8331A will compensate for detrimental room acoustics and distance delay, regardless of whether you work in mono, stereo or immersive formats. So now you can deliver mixes that translate beautifully – every time. For applications calling for extraordinary imaging, extended frequency response, short to medium listening distance or long, fatigue-free working hours, The Ones are in an elite league of their own. They promote faster and more consistent decision making, and they also extend listening time, because unnatural imaging – a main contributor to listener fatigue – is minimised.
