If you love the compact format of the 8010 and 8020 models but demand higher SPL and more bass extension, meet the 8030, a combination power and exacting precision to meet the most demanding of requirements, all with Genelec’s renowned accuracy and reliability.
When your project requires a powerful performance without sacrificing quality, the Genelec 8030C active studio monitor is designed to go above and beyond your wildest expectations. Introduced in 2017, even delivers 4 dB higher SPL and has a lower energy consumption than earlier models of 8030.
As stunning as it is sonically impressive, the 8030C features the rounded edges and colour-free, accurate reproduction of the rigid all-aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™). Every element of the design is crafted to perfect your listening experience.
Precise on- and off-axis frequency reproduction is courtesy of the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™), whilst broad low-frequencies and high SPLs are delivered with a flow-optimised internal curved reflex tube and a maximised internal volume. Genelec Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) circuitry detects when your system is no longer in use, placing it into an environmentally friendly, power-saving standby mode.
From professional studios to outside broadcast vehicles, the 8030C has been crafted to combine extraordinary power with absolute precision.
Welcome to the sweet spot
A consistent best-seller, the 8030C sits in the perfect sweet spot of big monitor performance and small footprint. It offers precise imaging and staggering detail, but can go louder and lower than its smaller siblings – making it the perfect choice for slightly larger spaces.
Mixes that translate
The trademark rounded cabinet design of the 8030C delivers uncoloured reference performance both on and off axis, and rear panel room compensation switches let you optimise the 8030C for your individual room acoustics. All this helps you produce mixes that translate beautifully to other rooms and systems.
