Introducing the Genelec 8341A, a remarkable point-source monitor that is a perfect fit for mid-sized control rooms. This 3-way studio monitor is part of Genelec's "The Ones" series and is designed for fatigue-free listening at near- to midfield distances. It leverages the power of Genelec's Acoustically Concealed Woofer (ACW) technology to deliver an impressively linear payload over a wide bandwidth. The result? Phenomenal imaging and clarity that you'll surely appreciate.

The Genelec 8341A is packed with Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology that optimizes level, timing, and equalization of room response anomalies. This leads to an amazingly tight, accurate sound with enormous dynamic range and unprecedented frequency response, regardless of where you choose to work.

The dual woofers in this monitor employ ACW to extend their coaxial acoustical radiation concept to bass frequencies. Hidden inside the monitor's cabinet, these woofers use the entire front baffle as a giant Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) to control directivity over a very wide bandwidth, creating a massive "sweet spot."

The monitor's Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology provides remarkably accurate monitoring by automatically calibrating its level, timing, and equalization to your room. This ensures that you hear the original nuances of your source accurately, without color or distortion.

Key Features:

• Smart Active Monitor (SAM) provides remarkably accurate monitoring
• Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) delivers focused near- and midfield sound
• Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver provides superior imaging
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) for linear on- and off-axis response
• Dual Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) extend directivity control to bass frequencies
• Optimum performance in both horizontal and vertical position
