Genelec 8330A SAM Series 5" 2-Way 100W Active Studio Monitor

Precision Monitoring with Smart Active Technology
The Genelec 8330A SAM Series is a compact yet powerful 2-way active studio monitor, delivering 100W of Class-D amplification through a 5" woofer and 0.75" metal dome tweeter. With a frequency response of 45 Hz to 23 kHz (-6 dB) and a maximum SPL of 104 dB, it ensures accurate sound reproduction for critical listening environments. The Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology allows for automatic calibration to your room's acoustics using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, providing a tailored monitoring experience. 

Innovative Design for Accurate Sound
The 8330A features Genelec's Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) technologies, minimizing edge diffraction and ensuring consistent frequency response both on- and off-axis. Its die-cast aluminum enclosure not only provides durability but also contributes to its precise acoustic performance. The integrated Iso-Pod™ stand decouples the monitor from its mounting surface, reducing coloration caused by vibrations.

Versatile Connectivity and Mounting Options
Equipped with both analog and digital inputs, including XLR analog and AES/EBU digital connectors, the 8330A integrates seamlessly into various studio setups. Its compact dimensions (H 299 x W 189 x D 178 mm with Iso-Pod) and multiple mounting options, such as wall mounts and mic stand adapters, make it suitable for diverse studio environments, from small control rooms to mobile setups. 

Energy Efficiency and Protection Features
The 8330A incorporates Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) technology, which automatically switches the monitor to a low-power sleep mode when no audio signal is detected, conserving energy. Additionally, built-in protection circuitry safeguards the monitor against signal overloads, ensuring reliable performance over time. 

Ideal for Various Professional Applications
Whether you're working in music production, post-production, broadcasting, or mobile recording, the Genelec 8330A offers the accuracy and adaptability required for professional monitoring. Its ability to adapt to different acoustic environments through SAM technology makes it a versatile choice for professionals seeking consistent and reliable sound reproduction.

FAQs for the Genelec 8330A SAM Series 5" Active Studio Monitor:

1. What makes the Genelec 8330A different from other studio monitors?
The 8330A features Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) technology, allowing it to automatically calibrate to your room using Genelec’s GLM software. This ensures highly accurate sound reproduction even in acoustically imperfect spaces.

2. Do I need the GLM calibration kit to use the 8330A?
While the 8330A can be used right out of the box, using the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) system unlocks its full potential. GLM helps calibrate the monitor to your specific room for precise imaging and balanced frequency response.

3. Is the 8330A suitable for home studios or just professional setups?
Yes, it’s excellent for both. Its compact size and smart room-adaptation features make it a top choice for home studios, especially where space or acoustic treatment is limited.

4. Can I pair the 8330A with a subwoofer?
Absolutely. The 8330A integrates seamlessly with Genelec’s SAM subwoofers, such as the 7350A, to create a full-range monitoring system with extended low-end accuracy.

5. How does the 8330A perform in untreated or small rooms?
Thanks to its room-calibration capability via GLM and its minimal-diffraction enclosure design, the 8330A delivers consistent, controlled performance even in small or acoustically untreated environments.
