Genelec 8010APM studio monitor

Genelec 8010A 3" active studio monitor

General description

The bi-amplified Genelec 8010A is an extremely compact two-way active monitoring loudspeaker designed for professional applications. It contains drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover filters and protection circuitry. The MDETM (Minimum Dif- fraction EnclosureTM) enclosure is made of die-cast aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diffraction. Combined with the advanced Directivity Control WaveguideTM (DCWTM), this design provides excel- lent frequency balance in difficult acoustic environ- ments. If necessary, the bass response of 8010A can be extended with a Genelec subwoofer.

Exceptional sound qualities, small size and universal mains input voltage make 8010A’s perfect companions while on the move. With a balanced XLR input, 3-inch woofer, 3/4-inch tweeter and two efficient Class D power amplifiers, 8010A’s produce more undistorted sound pressure level than you might expect. It features Genelec Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) circuitry which switches the monitor to standby when no audio input is detected (ErP 2013 Directive). Several mounting accessories ease the installation of 8010A’s and make them ideal for music studios, mobile vans and portable recording devices.

Mounting considerations

Align the monitors correctly. Always place monitors so that their acoustic axes converge at ear height at the listening position (see Figures 1 and 2). Vertical orientation of monitors is preferred, as it minimises acoustical cancellation problems around the crossover frequency.

Maintain symmetry

Check that the monitors are placed symmetrically and at equal distance from the listening position. If possible, place the monitors so that the listening position is on the centerline of the room and the monitors are at an equal distance from the room centerline. 8010A Active Monitoring System

Minimise reflections

Acoustic reflections from objects close to the moni- tors, like desks, cabinets, computer monitors etc. can cause unwanted colouration and blurring of the sound image. These reflections can be minimised by placing the monitor away from such surfaces.

Minimum clearances

If the monitor is installed in a restricted space such as a cabinet or integrated into a wall structure, suf- ficient cooling for the amplifier and functioning of the reflex port must be ensured. A minimum clearance of 2.5 centimeters (1 in) behind, above and on sides of the monitor must be found. The space adjacent to the amplifier must ei- ther be ventilated or sufficiently large to dissipate heat so that the ambient temperature does not rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95°F)

Connections

Connect the mains cables only after you have com- pleted connecting audio signal cabling. The 8010A has a balanced XLR 7 kOhm au- dio input connector. It can also be connected to an unbalanced RCA line level audio source with a suitable adapter cable your Genelec dealer can provide. As the 8010A contains amplifiers, no power amplifier is needed. Never connect 8010A to the loudspeaker outputs of a power amplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. When all audio connections are completed, con- nect the monitors to mains with the supplied mains cables. They will switch on automatically.
