The 8030A monitors feature the advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), a revolutionary flow-optimized reflex port design, an optimized die-cast aluminium structure with extremely durable semi-matte finish and acoustically optimized metal grilles.
Low distortion drivers are driven by dedicated amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry and versatile room response controls are standard. The versatile mounting features include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further 3/8" thread for mounting on the cabinet base.
The MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) speaker enclosure has rounded edges and a gently curved front and sides to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction.
Every Genelec 8030A monitor comes with an Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler) as standard. The Iso-Pod is a clever mounting stand, which allows the system to perform in either the vertical or horizontal position. It also enables the acoustic axis of the monitor to be aimed at the listener, while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on.
If very large sound levels and a low cutoff frequency are required, the 8030A monitors can be teamed in stereo applications with the 7050B Subwoofer and in surround applications with the 7060B Subwoofer.
Reviews
"They definitely punch beyond their weight in terms of scale. In reality, these monitors should really be tested up against larger boxes from other manufacturers. With the 8030s they've managed to incorporate a number of cool design features but in a very practical way." - Future Music
"These monitors ooze class and have such a refined sound." - MusicTech
