Genelec 8381A SAM Three-way

The Genelec 8381A SAM Adaptive Point Source main monitor makes it easy to integrate the “big” monitoring experience into your studio. While nearfields certainly have their place, when you need to hear everything, there’s no substitute for main monitors. As small- and mid-sized control rooms play an increasingly important role in content creation, unerring accuracy, full frequency response, and robust dynamic range are required from a speaker system with a modest footprint. The 8381A SAM Adaptive Point Source main monitor delivers world-class performance in an elegant package that gives you the flexibility of free-standing placement along with advanced acoustical optimization. When playback on the “bigs” is called for, the Genelec 8381A SAM Adaptive Point Source main monitor performs impeccably.
