Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor
The Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor is engineered for audio professionals who demand uncompromising accuracy, exceptional detail, and intelligent room optimization. Developed by Genelec, the 8350A combines advanced acoustic design with cutting-edge Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) technology to deliver a reference-grade listening experience for modern recording, mixing, mastering, broadcast, and immersive audio environments.
Built around an 8-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch metal dome tweeter, the Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor offers impressive output capability while maintaining the brand’s renowned transparency and sonic neutrality. With a frequency response extending from 33 Hz to 22 kHz and a maximum SPL of 112 dB, this professional active monitor provides the power and precision required for medium to large-sized studios and demanding production applications.
What truly distinguishes the Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor from conventional studio monitors is its integrated Smart Active Monitoring technology. SAM™ enables seamless integration with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) software, allowing users to automatically calibrate and optimize monitor performance according to the acoustic characteristics of their room.
Every studio environment introduces acoustic challenges such as standing waves, reflections, and frequency imbalances. The Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor intelligently compensates for these issues through automated room calibration, ensuring accurate and consistent monitoring regardless of room size or layout. Whether you are working in a professional control room, broadcast suite, post-production facility, or immersive audio environment, GLM calibration helps achieve reliable translation across multiple playback systems.
The Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor robust die-cast aluminum enclosure incorporates Genelec’s renowned Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) design, minimizing unwanted cabinet resonances while maximizing durability. Combined with the proprietary Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™), the 8350A delivers exceptional stereo imaging, precise localization, and a wide listening sweet spot.
Its advanced reflex port design extends low-frequency performance while maintaining excellent transient response and bass accuracy. The included Iso-Pod™ isolation stand further enhances performance by reducing vibrations and allowing optimal monitor positioning.
The Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor is equally versatile when it comes to connectivity. It features balanced analog XLR input, AES/EBU digital input and output, plus dual RJ45 network connections for GLM integration. This flexible connectivity allows seamless deployment in hybrid analog-digital workflows and scalable immersive audio systems.
Powered by dedicated Class D amplifiers delivering 200 watts for the woofer and 150 watts for the tweeter, the monitor maintains exceptional clarity even at high listening levels. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) technology automatically reduces power consumption during periods of inactivity, making the 8350A an energy-efficient choice for professional studios.
Audio engineers, producers, content creators, film composers, and broadcast professionals rely on Genelec monitors because of their consistency, reliability, and ability to reveal critical details in complex mixes. The Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor continues this legacy by providing an accurate reference that empowers users to make confident decisions during every stage of production.
Whether you’re mixing stereo music, mastering high-resolution audio, creating film soundtracks, or building an immersive Dolby Atmos environment, the Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor delivers the precision and adaptability needed for today’s professional workflows.
With intelligent calibration, exceptional build quality, advanced DSP processing, and legendary Finnish engineering, the Genelec 8350A SAM Studio Monitor stands as one of the most capable and future-ready studio monitors available.
