The Genelec 8030C 5" 2-Way 100W Active Studio Monitor (Single, Producer Finish) is a top-tier audio solution crafted for professional audio engineers, musicians, and producers. Designed for accurate mix referencing, this compact monitor excels in project studios, small control rooms, and mobile setups, while its enhanced capabilities suit slightly larger spaces compared to models like the 8010 and 8020. It ensures mixes translate seamlessly across diverse listening environments.
The 8030C is an active 2-way monitor with built-in amplification, eliminating the need for external amps. It features a 5 1/8-inch woofer and a 3/4-inch metal-dome tweeter, powered by 100W of Class-D amplification (50W bass, 50W treble). This delivers a frequency response of 47 Hz to 25 kHz (-6 dB), with ±2 dB accuracy from 54 Hz to 20 kHz, capturing a wide, precise sound range for professional tasks.
Advanced technologies enhance its performance: the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) improves imaging and dispersion for precise stereo localization; the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), made of aluminum, reduces sound diffraction for uncolored audio; and a bass reflex port extends low-frequency response. Room response controls (treble and bass) allow acoustic adjustments, while a balanced XLR 3-pin input ensures compatibility with pro gear.
Efficiency is boosted by Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology, which activates the monitor upon detecting an audio signal and switches to standby (<0.5W) when idle. Mounting options include threaded holes for mic stands or OmniMount brackets, plus an Iso-Pod stand that minimizes vibrations for clearer sound—a standout feature.
Styled in a dark gray producer finish, it measures 299 x 189 x 178 mm with the Iso-Pod and weighs 5 kg, blending professionalism with portability. Ideal for near-field monitoring, broadcast, home studios, and more, it includes a 1.8 m mains cable, manual, Iso-Pod kit, and a 2-year warranty.
The Genelec 8030C combines cutting-edge tech, robust specs, and sleek design, making it a reliable choice for accurate sound reproduction in critical listening tasks like recording, mixing, and mastering.
