Product Description
The Genelec 8320A SAM is a compact, white, two-way active studio monitor that delivers stunningly accurate sound in even the tightest of spaces. Designed to integrate with Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring and GLM calibration system, it intelligently adapts to your room so you can trust every mix decision, whether you are working in a small studio, edit suite or mobile setup.
Despite its small footprint, the 8320A offers impressive sound pressure levels, extended low-frequency performance and a wide, uncoloured sweet spot. Its rigid, recycled aluminium enclosure and advanced waveguide design ensure precise imaging and consistent tonal balance, giving you a transparent, truthful reference that translates reliably to the outside world.
Smart Active Monitoring
As part of Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring family, the 8320A works hand in hand with GLM software to measure and compensate for your room’s acoustic issues. By automatically adjusting level, timing and frequency response, it helps neutralise problematic reflections and resonances, so you hear more of your mix and less of the room. The result is a more accurate monitoring environment that lets you work faster and with greater confidence.
Compact Size, Serious Performance
With a height of just 242 mm including its Iso-Pod, the 8320A is small enough to fit on crowded desks, meter bridges or compact stands, yet it still delivers up to 100 dB of sound pressure. Its rear-ported design and efficient Class D amplification provide tight, controlled low end from a very small cabinet, making it ideal where space is at a premium but sonic quality cannot be compromised.
Transparent, Uncoloured Sound
The 8320A is voiced for neutrality, offering a flat, accurate frequency response that reveals detail and balance across the spectrum. A carefully engineered waveguide helps create a wide, stable sweet spot, so your tonal balance and stereo image remain consistent even when you move around your listening position. This transparency makes it easier to judge EQ, dynamics and spatial effects, and to produce mixes that translate across different systems.
Rugged, Sustainable Design
Housed in a recycled aluminium enclosure, the 8320A combines durability with acoustic performance and sustainability. The curved cabinet shape minimises diffraction and works with the integrated waveguide to improve imaging and off-axis response. The Iso-Pod mount helps isolate the speaker from the supporting surface and allows for easy tilt adjustment, so you can aim the monitor precisely at your ears for optimal listening.
Features
- Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Calibration - Integrates with Genelec’s GLM software to measure your room and automatically optimise each monitor. This helps counteract room modes and reflections, giving you a more neutral listening environment and mixes that translate more reliably.
- Compact Footprint, High Output - The small enclosure fits easily into tight spaces while still delivering up to 100 dB SPL. This makes the 8320A ideal for project studios, broadcast rooms and mobile rigs where space is limited but professional monitoring levels are required.
- Accurate, Wide Sweet Spot - A carefully designed waveguide and active crossover deliver a flat response and stable imaging across a broad listening area. You get consistent tonal balance and stereo detail even when you are not locked to a single listening position.
- Recycled Aluminium Enclosure with Iso-Pod - The rigid, curved aluminium cabinet reduces resonances and diffraction, while the Iso-Pod mount isolates the speaker from the supporting surface and allows for precise tilt adjustment. Together they enhance clarity, focus and low-frequency control.
