Genelec 8331AP SAM 3-Way Active Nearfield Studio Monitor – Dark Grey – Premium three-way point-source monitor offering extended frequency response, precise imaging, and fatigue-free long-term listening. Part of The Ones series (8331, 8341, 8351), deployable horizontally or vertically.
The 8331AP features a die-cast aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) for minimal cabinet coloration and Iso-Pod™ stand for vibration isolation. Dual hidden oval woofers (ACW™) and a co-axial mid/tweeter (MDC™) sit behind Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) for consistent dispersion. Tri-amped Class-D power (72 W LF, 36 W MF, 36 W HF) and Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) with AutoCal via GLM™ 2.0 deliver automatic level, timing, and EQ calibration in any room.
