Genelec 8381AW

Our 8381A empowers engineers and creators to perceive every sonic detail, offering true-to-life sound level and dynamics - with the full flexibility of free-standing monitor placement and advanced room adaption.

Point Source Continued Directivity (PCD) Premiered on the 8381A, important frequencies are experienced radiating from the same location and in perfect time alignment - creating precise sound imaging, natural soundstage presentation, and enabling the lowest frequencies to be reproduced at their intended source locations.

Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) Driver technology delivering mid and high frequencies from a single point source, for extremely accurate sound images.

Quad Midrange System (QMS) Acoustically coaxial woofer solution that supports the MDC driver output and maintains directivity in lower frequencies, enabling the point source to work down into the woofer range.

Double Low-Woofer (DLW) system Recoil-compensated adaptive low-woofer solution that combines with the PCD for the freedom to place the 8381A in the desired room location - with no compromise in performance or imaging detail.

Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) SAM Technology enables monitors and subwoofers to network for automated system calibration and room adaption, utilising digital signal processing.
