Product Description
The Genelec 8050B is a powerful active nearfield studio monitor designed for larger control rooms and longer listening distances. Delivering up to 110 dB of clean SPL, extended low end down to 32 Hz and exceptional accuracy across the spectrum, it gives you the confidence to make bold mix decisions that translate outside the studio.
Combining Genelec’s renowned Directivity Control Waveguide with flexible rear-panel room compensation switches, the 8050B offers a wide, stable sweet spot and a neutral, uncoloured sound that you can trust. Whether you are working on detailed post-production, demanding music mixes or sound design, this monitor reveals every nuance so you can focus on the creative choices rather than second-guessing your speakers.
Powerful, Precise Monitoring for Larger Rooms
The 8050B is built to deliver serious output without sacrificing accuracy, making it ideal if you are working in a larger studio or need to monitor from a greater distance. With 150 W of Class AB power driving the 205 mm bass driver and 120 W on the 25 mm tweeter, it maintains clarity and control even at high listening levels, helping you judge impact, punch and headroom with ease.
Detail and Transparency You Can Rely On
With a frequency response of 32 Hz to 25 kHz (at -6 dB) and an impressive ± 2 dB accuracy from 38 Hz to 20 kHz, the 8050B reveals fine details in your recordings that lesser monitors can hide. Subtle ambience, reverb tails, vocal breaths and transient information are presented with precision, so you can refine balances and processing decisions with complete confidence.
Wide Sweet Spot with Directivity Control Waveguide
Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology ensures smooth, controlled dispersion and a wide listening area. This means you can move around the console or share the monitoring position with clients and collaborators while still hearing a consistent, reliable image. Stereo placement, depth and panning choices remain stable, speeding up your workflow and reducing listening fatigue.
Room Adaptation for Mixes That Translate
The 8050B includes simple rear-panel room compensation switches that allow you to tailor the monitor’s response to your acoustic environment. By compensating for boundary effects and room modes, you can achieve a flatter, more neutral playback response, helping your mixes to translate more accurately to headphones, hi-fi systems, cars and portable speakers.
Features
- High SPL for Larger Spaces - With a maximum SPL of 110 dB, the 8050B has the headroom to handle larger control rooms and higher monitoring levels without strain, letting you accurately judge dynamics, punch and overall loudness.
- Extended, Accurate Frequency Response - A response of 32 Hz to 25 kHz (at -6 dB) with ± 2 dB accuracy from 38 Hz to 20 kHz ensures you hear tight, controlled lows, natural mids and smooth highs, so you can trust what you are hearing across the full spectrum.
- Directivity Control Waveguide - Genelec’s DCW technology delivers excellent directivity and a wide sweet spot, providing consistent imaging and tonal balance even when you move off-axis, which is ideal for collaborative sessions and active workflows.
- Built-in Room Compensation - Rear-panel room response switches let you quickly adapt the 8050B to your acoustic environment, helping to minimise the impact of room issues and produce mixes that reliably translate to other playback systems.
