Genelec 8331A 3-Way Compact Active Monitor - Producer Gray, Single
Product Description
For applications calling for extraordinary imaging, extended frequency response, short to medium listening distance or long, fatigue-free working hours, The Genelec 8331 are in an elite league of their own. All being ultimate point source monitors, they combine a number of unique Genelec innovations with sustainable manufacturing, but without a single compromise on sound.
The Ones not only promote faster and more consistent production decision making, but also longer listening time than traditional loudspeakers, because unnatural imaging, a main contributor to listener fatigue, is minimized. Dispersion is controlled over an unusually wide frequency range thanks to the large integrated waveguide (DCW™) with the hidden dual woofers; and orientation may be either horizontal or vertical. Their looks are striking too, either way you turn them.
The final touch when positioning mics, mixing or mastering is the most demanding. For such critical tasks, even when performed in small rooms or in ultra near field applications, 8331 offers an outstanding solution where none existed before. With the latest SAM technology included, 8331 always makes the best of the room and monitor placement. Use the Genelec GLM application and its auto-calibration function, based on experience from thousands of studios around the world, to compensate for detrimental room influence and delay, regardless if you work in mono, stereo or immersive formats.

Product Reviews
-
I purchased the 8331A's hoping to get a relatively balanced sound at moderate levels. I compose for film and tv, often working long hours. I found I can trust them at lower levels which helps with fatigue. When I switch to my large monitors and compare, the results are good. Very helpful in my 'too small room'. Oh, of course they also sound good at higher volumes. They have exceeded my expectations.
