Genelec 8341A SAM Studio Monitor

Ultra-Accurate Point Source Imaging
The Genelec 8341A SAM Studio Monitor, part of the acclaimed "The Ones" series, delivers exceptional point source imaging through its innovative coaxial driver design. By aligning the midrange and tweeter drivers on the same axis, it ensures precise phase coherence and a broad, stable sweet spot, making it ideal for critical listening environments.

Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Calibration
Equipped with Genelec's Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) technology, the 8341A adapts to your room's acoustics using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software. This system automatically calibrates frequency response, level, and time alignment, compensating for room anomalies and ensuring consistent monitoring accuracy across different environments.

High SPL in a Compact Form
Despite its compact size (370 x 237 x 243 mm) and weight (9.8 kg), the 8341A delivers a maximum short-term SPL of 110 dB and a frequency response of 38 Hz to 37 kHz (-6 dB). Its tri-amplified design provides 250 W for the bass, 150 W for the midrange, and 150 W for the treble, ensuring powerful and accurate sound reproduction suitable for both nearfield and midfield applications. 

Advanced Acoustic Technologies
The 8341A incorporates several of Genelec's proprietary technologies:

• Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW™): Integrates woofers into the enclosure to enhance low-frequency performance without increasing cabinet size.
• Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) Driver: Ensures precise imaging and minimal distortion by aligning midrange and tweeter drivers.
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™): Provides consistent off-axis response, expanding the listening area.
• Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™): Reduces cabinet edge diffraction, resulting in a smoother frequency response.

Who Should Use the Genelec 8341A?

The 8341A is designed for audio professionals who demand precision and reliability:

• Mixing and mastering engineers requiring accurate imaging and frequency response.
• Sound designers working in immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos.
• Producers and composers operating in space-limited studios without compromising on sound quality.
• Audiophiles seeking high-fidelity monitoring solutions.
• Broadcast and mobile production teams needing top-tier monitoring in portable setups.
