Product Description

When it comes to performance versus size, the 8020 has set the benchmark in nearfield monitoring for over 15 years. The Genelec 8020D is the latest revision of this enduring studio classic, boasting an even higher SPL yet lower energy consumption than previous versions. Designed to adapt to the broadest possible range of listening environments, the 8020D thrives when space is at a premium. Engineers love the transparent and truthful reproduction of the 8020D, and with its wide uncolored sweet spot you are always in a position to make accurate, reliable mix decisions. Additionally, Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry detects when your monitor is no longer in use, placing it into an environmentally friendly, power-saving standby mode.

DIRECTIVITY CONTROL WAVEGUIDE (DCW)

The DCW technology shapes the emitted wavefront in a controlled way, allowing predictable tailoring of the directivity (dispersion) pattern. To make the directivity uniform and smooth, the goal is to limit the radiation angle so that the stray radiation is reduced. It results in excellent flatness of the overall frequency response as well as uniform power response. This minimizes early reflections and provides a wide and controlled listening area achieving accurate sound reproduction on and off-axis. Minimized early reflections and controlled, constant directivity have another important advantage: the frequency balance of the room reverberation field is essentially the same as the direct field from the monitors. As a consequence, the monitoring system's performance is less dependent on room acoustic characteristics.

INTELLIGENT SIGNAL SENSING (ISS)

Intelligent Signal Sensing, ISS circuitry tracks the signal input of the loudspeaker and detects if it is in use. If the ISS circuit does not find any audio on the input for a period of time, it sets the loudspeaker to a low-power sleep state and the loudspeaker will consume less than 0.5 watts. When an input signal is detected, the loudspeaker immediately turns itself on.

MINIMUM DIFFRACTION ENCLOSURE (MDE)

In order to improve the flatness of the frequency response and the power response of free standing loudspeaker systems, Genelec have designed a highly innovative enclosure optimized to match the properties of the monitor drivers, featuring rounded edges, and gently curved front and sides. In addition to achieving an unsurpassed flatness of the frequency response, the enclosure having minimum diffractions yields superb sound stage imaging qualities.

VIBRATION DECOUPLING ISO-POD

To solve the problems attendant to placing speakers directly on a desktop or a console meter bride, Genelec developed an efficient and very practical solution - the Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler) It is attached to the speaker's aluminum enclosure and has four shallow feet and it is made from special lossy rubber-like material. It is firmly attached to the enclosure so that it can be slid along the curved bottom or side surface to allow for a ±15° tilt of the loudspeaker. The loudspeakers’ acoustical axis can then be pointed precisely towards the listener by adjusting the enclosure’s inclination with the Iso-Pod. The vibration isolation and damping properties reduce midrange coloration caused by unwanted vibration transmitted to supporting surfaces.
