Genelec 8030C Two-Way Active Studio Monitor in White (Single Unit)

The Genelec 8030C is a compact, two-way active studio monitor designed for accurate audio reproduction in professional and project studio environments. As a bi-amplified nearfield monitor, it features dedicated amplifiers for its low-frequency and high-frequency drivers, ensuring precise control and minimal distortion. The monitor is engineered for critical listening applications, making it suitable for music production, mixing, mastering, and surround sound setups where a faithful representation of the source material is essential. Key features include Genelec's Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology, which automatically switches the monitor to a low-power standby mode when no audio signal is detected, reducing energy consumption to less than 0.5 watts. The enclosure utilises a Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) design with rounded edges to minimise cabinet edge diffraction and improve imaging. It comes with an Iso-Pod isolation stand as standard, which decouples the monitor from surfaces, allows for precise aiming of the acoustic axis, and supports both vertical and horizontal positioning. The monitor incorporates a 5-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch metal dome tweeter, each powered by a 50-watt Class D amplifier, delivering a total system power of 100 watts and a maximum peak sound pressure level of 104 dB at one metre. The Genelec 8030C is best suited for audio professionals, project studio owners, and serious enthusiasts who require a reliable and accurate monitoring solution in a compact form factor. Its versatile mounting options and included Iso-Pod make it easy to integrate into various workspace configurations, from desktop setups to dedicated control rooms. The rear-ported design and comprehensive room response controls via DIP switches allow for fine-tuning to accommodate different acoustic environments, ensuring consistent performance whether used for stereo or multi-channel surround applications.
