The Genelec 8010A is a professional studio monitor with a 3” woofer and a ¾” tweeter. It’s extremely compact design make them ideal for mobile and home studio setups alike. Don’t be fooled by their size though, they still pack a serious punch for such a tiny speaker!
The woofer and tweeter are powered by two Class D 25 Watt amplifiers and combined with the balanced XLR inputs, the 8010A produces a high quality, clean high SPL output, perfect for creating on the move.
The 8010A also features Genelec Intellifent Signal Sensing (ISS) which powers down the monitor into stand by mode when no audio signal is detected. There are several mounting accessories that come with the 8010A to allow for easy installation across various different environments.
Genelec 8010A Dark GreyBought these in combination with the Genelec 7040 sub.
They sound huge when combined with the sub and they couple nicely.
The sound is flat as tacks its perfect for laying bare every bit of ugliness in your mix.
I own a pair of Adam A7s and the sound is way too exciting to mix properly with so this is a welcome change.
I could not believe the amount of SPL this unit was capable of producing.
If you dont know about it and you hear it first time at full range you are going to instinctively look around for other larger monitors that might emmit such high volumes.
Sound clear as crystal and built quality at its best, delivered by a wonderful company.
I could write much more about how much i love them, but i will end this with the only small issue, something noted by others too, i believe : the audio cable sits at its limit when the monitor is placed on desk because of the extremely small size of the monitor, it kind of leans itself to the desk but not too much to worry about it.
Im in love with my 8010s.
super pro. before i had yamaha hs80 + h8s sub very good but this is better speakers sound like 8's bass incredible ......;)
Two Genelec 8010A babies were delivered today. I haven't yet configured the room sound settings; I'll do that later, but I definitely like them. I'll say right away that I tested them with live music tracks recorded traditionally. I have mid-far-field monitors, but I needed an alternative for listening to tracks while switching monitors. I was worried that the low frequencies wouldn't be sufficient, but I was very surprised by the frequency response: an enveloping, softly convex bass, accentuated atmospheric reverberation transients, a lack of grit in the high frequencies, and a very close resemblance to the sound of a tape. My mid-far-field monitors go into standby mode and turn off when they reach the minimum dB threshold. I have to turn the volume up to turn them on again. The Genelecs don't turn off, even at the lowest volume! Also, these anthracite-colored speakers, due to their very small size, are very portable, and I can take them on business trips and travel!
