Genelec 8050B｜Professional 8-inch Active Monitor, Powerful Dynamics and Precise Imaging
The Genelec 8050B is a representative 8-inch two-way active monitor in the 8000 series, inheriting the MDE die-cast aluminum enclosure and DCW directivity control technology to deliver a wide sweet spot and stable low-frequency performance. It features high-efficiency amplification and intelligent standby design, providing reliable, low-distortion professional sound for nearfield or midfield monitoring.
Key Product Features
- 8-inch woofer and 1-inch metal dome tweeter, two-way active design for accurate detail reproduction
- MDE die-cast aluminum enclosure and large DCW waveguide broaden the sweet spot and optimize off-axis response
- Rear-firing streamlined bass port provides deep, stable low-frequency extension and reduced port noise
- Built-in dual amplifiers (separate for low and high frequencies) — high dynamics, low distortion
- Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) standby — energy-saving without disrupting workflow
- Adjustable EQ (low-frequency roll-off, LF tilt, HF tilt, desk compensation) to easily adapt to your space
- Includes Iso-Pod isolation feet for easy tilt adjustment and reduced desk resonance
- Professional balanced XLR analog input for direct integration with audio interfaces/consoles
- Suitable for nearfield and midfield monitoring — capable for recording, mixing, and post-production
