Genelec 8030C Compact 2-way Active Monitor (White)

The Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor in White offers a perfect balance of power and precision, designed for those who love the compact size of the 8010 and 8020 models but require higher SPL and extended bass response. Ideal for slightly larger spaces, the 8030C delivers uncolored sound and exceptional detail, making it a go-to choice for professional engineers who need a monitor that punches above its size.

Bigger Sound, Compact Size – Professional Performance in Every Space

The Genelec 8030C takes the compact studio monitor design to the next level by offering higher sound pressure levels (SPL) and deeper bass extension compared to its smaller siblings. Featuring the same trusted Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology and active crossovers, it provides precise imaging and transparent sound across a wide sweet spot. Whether you’re mixing in a larger home studio or a professional space, the 8030C delivers mixes that translate seamlessly to other environments.

Key Features

• Higher SPL & Extended Bass: With a maximum SPL of 104 dB and a frequency response extending down to 47 Hz, the 8030C offers more power and deeper bass than the 8010 and 8020 models, making it perfect for slightly larger rooms.
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW): Ensures consistent and accurate sound reproduction, both on and off-axis, for precise imaging and an uncolored soundstage.
• Active Crossovers: Provide seamless frequency distribution between the bass and treble drivers for detailed, balanced audio.
• Room Compensation Switches: Rear panel switches allow you to tailor the monitor’s performance to the acoustics of your specific room, ensuring optimal sound in any space.
• Compact Design with Iso-Pod Stand: The integrated Iso-Pod minimizes vibrations and allows flexible placement, all while maintaining the clean, rounded design Genelec is known for.

Precision Sound Anywhere in the Room

The Genelec 8030C utilizes Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology to provide consistent and accurate sound reproduction, regardless of your listening position. This innovative design enhances the monitor's ability to deliver a wide, uncolored sweet spot, ensuring that every detail of your mix is heard with clarity, whether you’re seated directly in front or off to the side. By minimizing off-axis coloration, the DCW maintains a natural soundstage, allowing engineers and producers to make reliable mix decisions in any environment. This feature is crucial for creating mixes that translate well across various playback systems and settings, making the 8030C an indispensable tool in any professional studio.
