Product Description
The Genelec 8330A SAM Studio Monitor in White is a compact, ultra-accurate nearfield speaker designed for professionals who need precise, reliable monitoring in tight spaces. Combining Smart Active Monitoring technology with GLM calibration software, it intelligently adapts to your room, delivering a neutral, uncoloured sound that translates effortlessly from studio to real world.
Offering higher sound pressure levels and deeper low end than the smaller 8320A, the 8330A is ideal for project and commercial studios, edit suites and immersive setups where space is at a premium but sonic integrity cannot be compromised. With its elegant white finish and integrated Iso-Pod, it fits seamlessly into modern creative environments while remaining firmly focused on performance.
Smart Active Monitoring with GLM
At the heart of the 8330A is Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring platform, which works hand in hand with the GLM software to analyse your listening environment and automatically compensate for problematic room acoustics. By tailoring frequency response, level and timing to your specific setup, the 8330A helps you hear the truth in your mixes, even in acoustically challenging rooms.
Compact Size, Serious Performance
Despite its small footprint, the 8330A delivers a maximum SPL of 104 dB and a frequency response that reaches from 45 Hz to 23 kHz. This gives you the power and low frequency extension needed for modern production work, from detailed dialogue editing to full-range music mixing, without overwhelming smaller control rooms or desktop setups.
Wide, Controlled Sweet Spot
Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide technology ensures a wide, stable listening area with consistent tonal balance on and off axis. This means you can move naturally at the mix position and still make confident decisions about EQ, balance and imaging, while also giving clients a more accurate impression of your work from different positions in the room.
Professional Connectivity and Integration
The 8330A is fully equipped for modern studio workflows, with analogue XLR input alongside AES/EBU digital input and output for daisy-chaining. Dual RJ45 control ports allow seamless integration into a GLM network for multi-speaker systems, from simple stereo rigs to complex immersive formats, making it a flexible long-term monitoring solution as your setup evolves.
Features
- Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Calibration - Built-in SAM technology works with Genelec’s GLM software to measure your room and automatically adjust the monitor’s response. This helps counteract acoustic issues, so you hear a more accurate, consistent sound and can trust your mixes to translate.
- Compact Enclosure with Powerful Output - With a maximum SPL of 104 dB and extended low frequency response down to 45 Hz, the 8330A delivers impressive power and detail from a small cabinet. This makes it ideal for smaller studios and edit suites where space is limited but full-range monitoring is still essential.
- Directivity Control Waveguide - The DCW waveguide shapes the speaker’s dispersion for a wide, controlled sweet spot and smooth off-axis response. You benefit from stable stereo imaging and consistent tonal balance across the listening area, improving decision-making during long sessions.
- Professional Analogue and Digital I/O - Analogue XLR plus AES/EBU digital input and output provide flexible connection options for modern audio interfaces and digital consoles. Dual RJ45 control ports allow easy integration into a GLM network, supporting anything from single-monitor setups to multi-channel immersive systems.
