About Genelec 8341 / 8331 and The Ones Series of Compact Coaxial Monitors:

The 8341 and 8331, the world's smallest three-way coaxial monitors, recently joined the 8351 to create a complete compact coaxial range ( The Ones ) that redefines near-field monitoring; housed in enclosures no larger than a traditional two-way Genelec 8040 or 8030, they wipe away the previous constraints of coaxial point source setups. With The Ones, Ultimate Point Source meets ultimate flexibility with Smart Active Monitoring , the ground-breaking Genelec technology based on Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM ) 3.0 software for PC and Mac, incorporating AutoCal .

Genelec, the pioneer in Active Monitoring technology, is celebrating nearly 40 years of designing and manufacturing active loudspeakers for true and accurate sound reproduction. Genelec is credited with promoting the concept of active transducer technology. Since its inception in 1978, Genelec has concentrated its efforts and resources into creating active monitors with unparalleled sonic integrity. The result is an active speaker system that has earned global acclaim for its accurate imaging, extremely high acoustic output from small enclosures, true high-fidelity with low distortion, and deep, rich bass.

Genelec is also celebrating over 10 years of its Smart Active Monitoring technology, which allows studio monitors to be networked, configured and calibrated for the user's specific acoustic environment. Each Smart Active Monitor or subwoofer is equipped with advanced internal DSP circuitry, which tightly integrates with the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software application, running on Mac or PC. GLM's reference microphone kit allows the user's acoustic environment to be analyzed, after which GLM's AutoCal feature optimizes each Smart Active Monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover phase and room response equalization, with the option of further fine tuning by the user. By minimizing the room's influence on the sound, Smart Active Monitors deliver an unrivalled reference, with excellent translation between rooms.
