Product Description
The Genelec 8331A SAM Studio Monitor in white is a compact three-way point source monitor that delivers astonishing accuracy from an ultra-small footprint. Designed for small rooms, tight spaces and ultra-nearfield listening, it combines Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring technology with advanced coaxial driver design to give you mixes that translate, with minimal listening fatigue and exceptional imaging.
With a frequency response reaching from 45 Hz right up to 37 kHz and a maximum SPL of 104 dB, the 8331A offers full-range performance that belies its size. Integrated DSP and GLM calibration software work together to tame room issues and optimise performance for your exact listening position, so you can trust what you are hearing whether you are working in mono, stereo or immersive formats.
Compact Three Way Point Source Design
The 8331A uses Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial driver technology to house the midrange and tweeter in a single, perfectly aligned acoustic source, with twin concealed woofers handling the low end. This true point source behaviour delivers razor-sharp imaging, a wide sweet spot and consistent sound both on and off axis, making critical panning, depth and balance decisions faster and more reliable.
Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Calibration
As part of the SAM family, the 8331A features built-in DSP that works with Genelec’s GLM software to automatically calibrate each monitor to your room. GLM measures your environment and applies precise corrections for frequency response and time-of-flight differences, compensating for problematic acoustics and distance delays. The result is a neutral, phase-coherent monitoring environment that lets you make confident mix decisions that translate across systems.
Designed for Long, Fatigue Free Sessions
The Ones series is engineered to minimise unnatural imaging and frequency anomalies that contribute to listening fatigue. By controlling directivity and ensuring a smooth, accurate response, the 8331A allows you to work for extended periods without your ears tiring. This makes it ideal for demanding editing, mixing and post-production sessions where consistency and focus are essential.
Big Performance in Small Spaces
With its extremely compact enclosure and integrated Iso-Pod stand, the 8331A fits where traditional three-way monitors simply cannot. It is perfectly suited to small control rooms, edit suites, mobile rigs and ultra-nearfield setups on crowded desks. Despite its size, the powerful Class D amplification and advanced driver system deliver impressive headroom and low-frequency extension, giving you a full, detailed picture of your audio even at short listening distances.
Features
- Three Way Point Source Coaxial Design - The Minimum Diffraction Coaxial midrange and tweeter, combined with concealed woofers, create a true point source that delivers exceptional stereo imaging, precise localisation and consistent tonality across the listening area, making critical mix decisions easier and more accurate.
- Smart Active Monitoring with GLM - Built-in DSP works with Genelec’s GLM software to analyse your room and automatically calibrate each monitor, compensating for room modes, reflections and distance delays so you hear a neutral, reliable representation of your mix in any space.
- Ultra Compact, Full Range Performance - With a footprint comparable to a compact two-way but the performance of a full three-way system, the 8331A delivers a 45 Hz to 37 kHz frequency response and up to 104 dB SPL, giving you full-range monitoring even in very small rooms or ultra-nearfield positions.
- Low Fatigue for Long Sessions - Carefully controlled directivity and highly accurate frequency response minimise unnatural imaging and tonal colouration, reducing ear fatigue and allowing you to work longer while maintaining consistent judgement and better overall results.
