Product Description
The Genelec 8361A SAM Studio Monitor in Dark Grey is the flagship of The Ones series, delivering world class accuracy, huge dynamic range and ultra precise imaging in a compact, elegant enclosure. Designed for critical monitoring at distances up to 5 metres, it is ideal for demanding stereo, surround and immersive setups in small to medium sized control rooms.
Combining Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring technology with advanced coaxial driver design, the 8361A intelligently adapts to your room and provides an exceptionally neutral, fatigue free listening experience. From deep, controlled low end at 30 Hz through to an extended 43 kHz top end, you hear exactly what is in your mix, so your decisions translate confidently to any playback system.
Flagship Point Source Precision
At the heart of the 8361A is Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial driver, surrounded by concealed twin bass drivers. This true point source configuration delivers outstanding directivity and imaging, so every element in your mix is placed with laser like precision. The result is a stable, three dimensional soundstage that lets you work faster and trust what you are hearing.
Smart Active Monitoring with GLM
As part of the SAM family, the 8361A works with Genelec’s GLM software to analyse your room and automatically calibrate each monitor. The system compensates for problematic room modes and boundary effects, optimising level, delay and frequency response. This gives you a consistent, reliable reference in almost any acoustic environment, helping your mixes travel effortlessly between studios, cinemas and consumer systems.
High Output, Low Fatigue
With a short term maximum SPL of 118 dB and a total of 1000 W of onboard Class D amplification, the 8361A delivers huge headroom and effortless dynamics. Crucially, its controlled dispersion and ultra smooth frequency response reduce listening fatigue, so you can work at realistic levels for longer sessions without losing perspective.
Engineered for Modern Workflows
The 8361A is built for today’s hybrid studios, offering analogue and AES/EBU digital connectivity plus networked control via dual RJ45 ports. Its compact footprint and integrated Iso Pod stand make it easy to position, while the Dark Grey finish ensures it blends discreetly into any professional environment, from music production and post to broadcast and immersive sound design.
Features

- Smart Active Monitoring with GLM Calibration - Integration with Genelec’s GLM software allows the 8361A to measure and adapt to your room, compensating for acoustic issues so you can rely on consistent, translation friendly monitoring in different spaces.
- Huge Dynamic Range and Headroom - A powerful Class D amplifier package provides 700 W for bass, 150 W for midrange and 150 W for treble, supporting a short term SPL of 118 dB and ensuring clean, controlled sound even at demanding listening levels.
- Extended, Accurate Frequency Response - With a frequency range of 30 Hz to 43 kHz and an in room accuracy of ± 1.5 dB from 36 Hz to 20 kHz, the 8361A exposes low end balance, midrange detail and high frequency air with forensic precision.
