Genelec 8351B Black

Genelec 8351B Black – 3-way active studio monitor featuring two hidden 8" woofers, a 5" midrange driver, and a 1" metal dome tweeter powered by 550W of Class D amplification. Equipped with advanced coaxial and DSP technology, it offers exceptional stereo imaging, extended frequency response (32–43,000 Hz), and automatic room calibration via Genelec SAM™ system.

Designed for critical mixing and mastering environments, the 8351B delivers transparent and focused sound with minimal diffraction. Its Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW™) extend directional control to the low end, while the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) and Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) ensure linear off-axis response and stunning clarity. The coaxial Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) mid-high driver further enhances imaging and phase coherence.

As part of the Smart Active Monitor (SAM™) series, the 8351B integrates with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software for automatic calibration, allowing engineers to achieve precise monitoring even in untreated or compact rooms. Whether placed horizontally or vertically, it provides consistent, neutral monitoring with exceptional SPL capacity and ultra-low distortion.
