Genelec Quality, Compact Size! The very compact 8030A is a powerful bi-amplified nearfield monitor system ideal for project and home studios, workstations, installations, and surround sound monitoring. Genelec 8030A Bi-Amplified Monitor at a Glance: Special MDE enclosure minimizes diffraction for focused near-field use Advanced waveguide and bass reflex port design for optimum sound distribution High audio output with low distortion Unique Iso-Pod mounting system Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ for superb imaging The 8030A features Genelec's MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) enclosure with rounded edges and a gently curved front and sides. This allows the 8030A to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction. Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide™ enhances directivity Like all Genelec 8000 Series monitors, the 8030A also features the advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). The revolutionary DCW has been further enhanced to provide extremely accurate control of the 8030A's directivity. Genelec designed this specially-shaped and very smooth surface and integrated it with the enclosure. Its area has been maximized to achieve an astoundingly flat on and off-axis frequency response. The 8030A has a wide and consistent listening window, with minimal harmful early room reflections and other colorations associated with conventional designs. High performance reflex port design To increase the 8030A woofer's low frequency extension and SPL capacity, Genelec designed an ingenious flow optimized reflex port. The long, curved tube maximizes airflow so the 8030A can reproduce deep bass without compression. The tube terminates with a wide flare, minimizing port noises and providing excellent bass articulation. An optimized die-cast aluminium structure with extremely durable semi-matt finish and acoustically optimized metal grilles add to the 8030A's acoustic excellence. High audio output with low distortion Genelec's low distortion drivers - 5" bass speakers and 3/4" metal dome tweeters - are driven by the 8030A's dedicated 40-watt bass and treble amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry and versatile room response controls are standard. Versatile mounting options plus special Iso-Pod™ stand The versatile mounting features on the 8030A include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further 3/8" thread for mounting on the cabinet base. In addition, every Genelec 8030A monitor comes with an Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler) as standard. The Iso-Pod™ is a clever mounting stand, which allows the 8030A to perform in either the vertical or horizontal position. The IsoPod also enables the acoustic axis of the monitor to be aimed at the listener, while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on. Genelec 8030A Bi-Amplified Monitor Features: Compact, versatile nearfield monitor for project studios, workstations and surround components Special low distortion 5" woofer and 3/4" metal dome tweeter Separate 40-watt bass and treble amplifiers 108 dB SPL @ 1m (short term RMS; peak per pair with music material)        Free field frequency response       58 Hz - 20 kHz (± 2 dB) 11 1/4" high x 7" wide x 7 1/16" deep (height with Iso-Pod 11 13/16") The Genelec 8030A Nearfield Monitor: compact, powerful, efficient! Customer Reviews  Great sound   by Jay Walker from Toronto, Canada, October 02, 2008 Music Background:  Recording Engineer “Just picked up a pair. So clear. I have never heard such a clear monitor before. You can really grasp the sterofield with these monitors. If you are looking to make a great mix, buy these. If you are producing music, and are looking for loud monitors,(Like electronic music or hip hop), don't buy these monitors. They are made...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "I've had a set of 8030A monitors in my studio as reference for several years now. They are surprisingly full sounding for their small size. The low end is well defined and I have been able to make good judgments about kick drum and bass guitar on them. Don't let the small size fool you!" Dan VanAmerongen   "I recommend 8030As to someone who is looking for a good monitor that will be accurate enough to finish a mix with, but also sweet enough to let talent listen to a mix right after a session. A wonderful set of monitors that are attractive to the eye and the ear."
