High-Resolution Monitoring for Professional Control Rooms
The Genelec 8341A SAM (Black) is a professional three-way active studio monitor designed for engineers who require uncompromising accuracy, dependable mix translation, and consistency across a wide range of listening environments. As part of Genelec’s flagship
The Ones™ series, the 8341A delivers true point-source monitoring in a compact enclosure, eliminating the compromises typically associated with nearfield loudspeakers.
From mixing and mastering to post-production and broadcast work, the 8341A delivers a stable stereo image, precise depth definition, and a neutral tonal balance you can rely on when making critical creative and technical decisions.
Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or working in post-production, the 8341A provides a focused stereo image, exceptional depth perception, and a neutral tonal balance you can trust when making critical decisions.
True Point-Source Design: Precision You Can Rely On
At the core of the 8341A is Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) driver, which places the tweeter at the acoustic center of the midrange driver. This design allows the monitor to operate as a true point source, producing a coherent, time-aligned wavefront across the entire frequency spectrum.
Key advantages include:
- Exceptional phase coherence and timing accuracy
- Precise stereo imaging with a stable, well-defined center image
- Consistent tonal balance both on- and off-axis
- A wider usable listening area with reduced fatigue during long sessions
This approach makes it easier to evaluate spatial effects, reverb decay, transient response, and subtle EQ adjustments with confidence and repeatability.
True 3-Way Performance in a Compact Monitor
Unlike conventional two-way designs, the Genelec 8341A is a genuine three-way monitor. A dedicated low-frequency driver handles bass reproduction independently, allowing the coaxial mid/high driver to operate with greater clarity and control.
This architecture results in:
- Tight, well-controlled low-frequency response
- Enhanced midrange clarity and transparency
- Higher output capability with low distortion
- Accurate monitoring at both low and high playback levels
Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) & GLM Room Calibration
The 8341A features Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) technology with built-in DSP. When paired with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, the monitor can be precisely calibrated to your room and listening position.
GLM calibration enables:
- Automatic room response compensation
- Level and time alignment between monitors
- Optimized bass response and phase alignment
- Creation and recall of user calibration presets
The result is a neutral, repeatable reference — even in rooms with acoustic challenges.
