What is included in the box?
The package includes one Genelec 8351BW monitor unit. It typically comes with the integrated Iso-Pod tilt stand, a mains power cable, and documentation. The GLM calibration kit and control network accessories are usually sold separately.
What type of inputs does it have?
It features both analogue and digital inputs: one XLR analogue input and one XLR AES/EBU digital input. It also has one XLR AES/EBU output for daisy-chaining multiple monitors and two RJ45 ports for connection to the GLM control network.
Is the GLM room calibration software required?
While the monitor functions perfectly without it, the GLM software unlocks the full SAM system capabilities. It enables automatic room measurement, time alignment, level matching, and advanced EQ correction to compensate for room acoustics, which is highly recommended for optimal performance.
What is the warranty period?
Genelec typically provides a manufacturer's warranty for their professional monitors. The exact duration should be verified with the retailer or manufacturer's documentation at the time of purchase, as terms can vary.
Can it be used as a single monitor or only in pairs?
It is sold as a single unit and can be used individually for mono checking. However, for stereo monitoring, a matched pair is required. The SAM system allows easy calibration of multiple units together for immersive surround setups.
What is the power requirement?
The monitor operates on standard mains voltage (typically 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz). The internal switch-mode power supply and efficient Class D amplifiers are designed for global use with appropriate power cabling.
Is it suitable for near-field monitoring?
Yes, its coaxial driver design and controlled directivity make it exceptionally well-suited for near-field applications. The precise imaging helps maintain a stable stereo picture even at close listening distances, which is ideal for detailed mixing work.
