Genelec 8341A SAM Three-way Coaxial Monitor System

Point-source surveillance for control rooms of moderate size

Genelec’s 8341 SAM is a groundbreaking 3-way studio monitor that offers exceptional imaging, prolonged frequency response, and fatigue-free listening. This innovative device, part of their “The Ones” series, combines Acoustically Concealed Woofer (ACW) technology with other cutting-edge technologies to deliver an impressive linear payload over a broad bandwidth. The Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology maximizes room response anomalies, resulting in a precise, tight sound with a large dynamic range and unprecedented frequency response. The display works well in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

The Acoustically Concealed Woofer (ACW) technology provides excellent imaging

The 8341’s two woofers use Genelec’s revolutionary Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) to expand the coaxial acoustical radiation concept to bass frequencies. Hidden inside the monitor’s cabinet, these woofers employ the whole front baffle as a huge Directivity modulate Waveguide (DCW) to modulate directivity across a very wide bandwidth, resulting in a massive “sweet spot.” It also provides good separation from the 8341’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, which reproduces midrange and high frequencies. The end product is extremely precise monitoring with unrivaled frequency separation, a broad dispersion pattern, and fantastic imaging.

Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology offers incredibly precise monitoring

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for an engineer to operate in a tiny, less-than-ideal acoustic setting. Genelec’s Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology addresses this by allowing the 8341 SAM to automatically adapt its level, timing, and equalization to your space, guaranteeing that you hear the original subtleties of your source precisely and without color or distortion. You may use the extremely intuitive Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software to operate a complete network of SAM speakers, resulting in a highly versatile computer-controlled system of monitors and subwoofers.

Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) provides concentrated near- and midfield sound

The 8341 SAM uses Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), which has rounded corners and a softly curved front and sides. This enables the 8341 SAM to have a very smooth frequency response and excellent image quality while minimizing cabinet edge diffraction.
