Genelec 8050B Studio Monitor in White

The Genelec 8050BWM-7 is a powerful, full-range active studio monitor finished in a sleek white enclosure, designed for demanding nearfield and mid-field applications. Delivering up to 110 dB of clean SPL with a frequency response reaching down to 32 Hz, it offers the muscle needed for larger control rooms and longer listening distances while maintaining the trademark Genelec accuracy and neutrality.

At the heart of the 8050B is a finely tuned combination of Class AB amplification, advanced active crossovers and Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology. This results in an impressively wide sweet spot, superb imaging and an intensely detailed, transparent sound that lets you hear exactly what is in your mix. With simple rear-panel room compensation switches, the 8050B can be adapted to a wide range of acoustic environments, helping your mixes translate reliably to other systems.

Powerful, Full-Range Monitoring

The 8050B delivers a maximum SPL of 110 dB, driven by a 150 W bass amplifier and 120 W treble amplifier. Combined with a low frequency extension down to 32 Hz, it provides true full-range monitoring without the immediate need for a subwoofer in many setups. This makes it ideal for producers, engineers and composers working in larger rooms who need both headroom and low-end authority for critical decision making.

Exceptional Detail and Transparency

With an accuracy of ± 2 dB from 38 Hz to 20 kHz, the 8050B offers a neutral, uncoloured presentation that reveals fine details in your recordings. Transients are reproduced with precision, stereo imaging is stable, and subtle changes in EQ, dynamics and effects are easy to hear. This level of transparency helps you work faster and with greater confidence, knowing that what you hear is an honest representation of your mix.

Wide Sweet Spot with DCW Technology

Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) shapes the dispersion of the 8050B’s drivers for consistent off-axis response and a wide, stable sweet spot. This means you can move around your desk or work with clients in the room and still trust what you are hearing. The controlled directivity also reduces unwanted reflections from nearby surfaces, improving clarity in real-world studio environments.

Room Adaptation Made Simple

On the rear panel, a set of room compensation switches allows you to tailor the 8050B’s response to your listening environment. By adjusting for boundary effects and room modes, you can achieve a flatter, more reliable response even in acoustically challenging spaces. This helps ensure that your mixes translate consistently to headphones, hi-fi systems, cars and other playback environments.

• High SPL and Ample Headroom - With a maximum SPL of 110 dB, the 8050B provides plenty of level for larger control rooms and longer listening distances. You can monitor at realistic levels without pushing the speakers to their limits, maintaining clarity and reducing fatigue during long sessions.
• Wide Frequency Response - A frequency response of 32 Hz to 25 kHz (-6 dB) and ± 2 dB accuracy from 38 Hz to 20 kHz ensures full-range reproduction from deep bass to airy highs. This extended bandwidth lets you judge low-end weight, midrange balance and high-frequency detail with confidence.
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) - The integrated DCW technology optimises dispersion for a wide sweet spot and precise imaging. This controlled directivity reduces the impact of room reflections and helps maintain a consistent tonal balance across a broad listening area.
• Integrated Iso-Pod Mounting - Supplied with Genelec’s Iso-Pod, the 8050B can be tilted and positioned for optimal listening angle while helping to isolate the monitor from the supporting surface. This minimises mechanical vibration and improves low-frequency definition and overall clarity.
