High-Resolution Monitoring with a Refined Aesthetic
The Genelec 8341A SAM (White) is a professional three-way active studio monitor created for engineers who demand uncompromising accuracy, dependable mix translation, and consistency across different listening environments. Part of Genelec’s flagship
The Ones™ series, the 8341A delivers true point-source monitoring in a compact enclosure, removing the compromises often associated with nearfield speakers.
From mixing and mastering to post-production, the 8341A presents a stable stereo image, precise depth, 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 Hear
At the heart of the 8341A is Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) driver, which integrates the tweeter at the acoustic center of the midrange driver. This configuration allows the monitor to function as a true point source, delivering a coherent and time-aligned wavefront across the entire frequency range.
- Outstanding phase coherence and timing accuracy
- Precise stereo imaging with a rock-solid center image
- Consistent tonal balance both on- and off-axis
- A wider listening area with reduced listening fatigue
This design makes it easier to judge spatial effects, reverb decay, transient detail, and subtle EQ changes — particularly during long, detail-focused sessions.
True 3-Way Performance in a Compact Form
Unlike conventional two-way monitors, the Genelec 8341A is a genuine three-way design. 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.
