Genelec 8330A SAM™ Black is a compact two-way active studio monitor featuring Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) technology, setting the benchmark for audio fidelity in challenging acoustic environments. Working seamlessly with GLM™ (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software and AutoCal™, it automatically calibrates levels, timing, and phase to precisely adapt to your room's acoustics, neutralizing detrimental room anomalies for a strictly reference monitoring experience. The die-cast aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) ensures uncolored sound by minimizing edge diffraction and cabinet resonance.
The 8330A delivers transparent, colorless performance across a wide 45 Hz – 23 kHz frequency range, powered by two efficient Class D amplifiers (50 W for woofer and 50 W for tweeter). The advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) provides a wide, stable sweet spot and precise stereo imaging both on and off-axis. With both analog XLR and digital AES/EBU connectivity, it is the ideal choice for professional music studios, post-production facilities, OB vans, and high-end home setups.
