Genelec 8361A 3-way Coaxial Powered Studio Monitor (Dark Grey) Reviews
Featuring some of Genelec's most advanced technology, 8361A are more than capable enough for any midfield monitoring needs. These 3-way studio monitors combine dual 10" woofers with a 5" midrange speaker and a 1" high-frequency dome tweeter. Thanks to its ACW (Acoustically Concealed Woofer) design, the 8361A offers the kind of broad sweet spot engineers here at Sweetwater look for, while Genelec's unique DCW (Directivity Control Waveguide) delivers precision stereo imaging. On top of all of this, you also get the benefits of Genelec's SAM (Smart Active Monitor) technology, which lets you automatically calibrate your 8361A studio monitors to any control room or speaker configuration.

So Transparent
Amazing clarity allows me to hear further into a recording than I've ever been before. Plenty of power and bass for any musical need. I have Genelec 8351Bs and a pair of 7360A subs and prefer the simpler setup and perfectly integrated sound of these. Don't underestimate the value of the GLM software. It can be shocking how much the room interferes with what you hear. With GLM you can switch it on or off to instantly hear the difference. These are heavy but worth it to have the sound you've always dreamed of!
Absolute Behemoth
They most certainly have a presence, very detailed and a lot of power. I am coming from kh310's which there wasnt anything wrong with, I was just starting to get bored with them and while my mixes came out sounding dull I blame myself for that, with these I still working on my skills but after the last 3 months I can say that I dont see myself getting bored with these speakers, they have an inspiring look and presence that makes you want to create which I didnt get from the 310's. Idk, thats probably just my ego wanting a bigger speaker.
Genelec Power!
As an audio professional and Genelec 8361A studio monitor owner, I can confidently say these are among the best investments I've made for my studio. Their performance blows me away! One of the things that immediately struck me about the Genelec 8361A monitors is their incredible open, enveloping, and 3D sound. Playback fills the entire room, with each instrument occupying its distinct space within the soundstage. The level of separation is remarkable, allowing me to make more precise mixing decisions.
Another impressive feature of these monitors is their ability to reveal minor compression and EQ settings changes. I can hear every nuance with sublime accuracy. This level of detail is essential for achieving stellar results, and these monitors deliver it in spades.
The Genelec 8361A monitors are beautifully natural and immersive. The midrange and low-end punch are both particularly impressive, offering a level of precision and presence that is outstanding. The overall tonal balance of these monitors is exceptional.
Regarding build quality, the Genelec 8361A monitors are solidly constructed and built to last. The attention to detail in the design and construction is evident in every aspect of these monitors.
I also want to give a shoutout to the staff at Genelec, particularly Paul. He is accommodating, and his dedication to customer satisfaction is impressive.
I am delighted with the Genelec 8361A studio monitors. They have exceeded my expectations in every way and have become an indispensable tool in my studio setup. I highly recommend these monitors to any serious audio professional looking to take their mixes to the next level.
