It takes full advantage of the GENELEC 8000 series: the all-aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure and the Directivity Control Waveguide are matched with advanced amplifiers and drivers, and a new rear reflex port design widens the bass response to 45 Hz (-3 dB) with substantially lower distortion. Its recycled aluminium enclosure combines transparent, uncoloured sound with a distinctive look, and Intelligent Signal Sensing switches it into a power-saving standby when you have finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMax short‑term SPL at 1 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e105 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eFrequency response (-6 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e41 Hz - 25 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eBass and treble amplifiers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e90 W + 90 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e9.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-way active design\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 165 mm (6 1\/2 in) bass cone and a 19 mm (3\/4 in) metal dome tweeter, both magnetically shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90 W + 90 W amplifiers\u003c\/strong\u003e with active crossover at 3.0 kHz and driver protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e105 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum short-term SPL at 1 m and \u003cstrong\u003e115 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e peak per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e48 Hz - 20 kHz (±2 dB)\u003c\/strong\u003e, -3 dB at 45 Hz, -6 dB at 41 Hz and 25 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMDE\u003c\/strong\u003e aluminium enclosure, enlarged \u003cstrong\u003eDCW\u003c\/strong\u003e waveguide and long flared rear reflex tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom response controls\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bass Roll-Off, Desktop LF, Bass Tilt and Treble Tilt (+2 to -4 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustable from +6 to -6 dBu for 100 dB SPL at 1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Signal Sensing (ISS)\u003c\/strong\u003e with ISS DISABLE switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIso-Pod\u003c\/strong\u003e stand at three mounting points;

The result is a wide, consistent listening window, fewer early reflections from desks and walls, accurate stereo imaging and a monitoring system that depends less on the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eRoom response controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eCalibrated controls in the active crossover keep the frequency balance right in different rooms: Bass Roll-Off (0 to -6 dB at 45 Hz), the Desktop low frequency control (-4 dB at 160 Hz) for a console or desk between listener and monitor, Bass Tilt (0 to -6 dB below 800 Hz) near room boundaries and Treble Tilt (+2, -2 or -4 dB above 5 kHz).

The supplied Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner\/Decoupler) stand isolates the monitor from the desk or console and tilts it so that the acoustic axis points at the listener, reducing colouration from vibration and surface reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eMounting and accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe Iso-Pod attaches at three mounting points for vertical or symmetrical horizontal positioning. Two sets of M6x10 mm threads on the rear take wall and ceiling brackets, and an M10x10 mm thread in the base secures the monitor to its base (it is not for a microphone stand).
