The Genelec 8330A is a Smart Active Monitor (SAM) featuring a 5" bass driver, 3/4" metal dome tweeter, and both analog XLR and digital AES/EBU inputs. Combining the precision of Genelec's acoustic design with GLM room calibration technology, the 8330A offers transparent reproduction with powerful automatic room compensation. Its compact footprint and digital connectivity make it equally suited to music production, post-production, and broadcast environments.

Smart Active Monitoring (SAM)

• GLM calibration: Automated room measurement and multi-band EQ compensation via Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software
• Room-adaptive DSP: Compensates for standing waves, boundary effects, and early reflections
• System alignment: Level alignment (60 dB range) and delay alignment (up to 200 ms) for multichannel setups
• Digital audio: AES/EBU input supporting 16-24 bit word length and 32-192 kHz sample rates

Acoustic Design

• Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE): Die-cast aluminium enclosure with minimal edge diffraction
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW): Wide, uncoloured sweet spot for accurate mix decisions
• Iso-Pod stand: Acoustic decoupling with adjustable tilt angle
• Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS): Automatic standby mode
