Genelec 8030C Bi-Amplified Studio Monitor | 5" Active Studio Monitor (Pair)
The Genelec 8030C is the best-selling sweet spot of the 8000 series, striking the perfect balance between size, performance, and precision. This pair of 5-inch monitors features upgraded high-efficiency **Class D bi-amplification (50W + 50W)**, delivering significantly reduced power consumption and lower operating temperatures while producing a powerful 104 dB SPL. Whether for professional studio nearfield monitoring, editing workstations, or high-end home audio systems, the 8030C delivers performance that exceeds its compact size.
Inheriting Genelec's core acoustic technologies, the 8030C features the signature **MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure)**. Its rounded edges effectively eliminate sound diffraction at the cabinet boundaries, providing an extremely flat frequency response and clear imaging. The integrated **DCW™ (Directivity Control Waveguide)** further optimizes high-frequency dispersion, ensuring consistent and accurate sound references across a wide listening area.
Core Advantages & Applications
High-Efficiency Class D Power
Compared to previous generations, the 8030C utilizes advanced Class D amplifier technology. This provides powerful drive while significantly reducing weight and heat generation, allowing the 8030C to maintain stable operation over long sessions with superior transient response for accurate dynamic reproduction.
Precise Acoustic Adaptability
To handle various non-ideal acoustic environments, the 8030C rear panel is equipped with comprehensive **Room Response Control** DIP switches. You can adjust Bass Roll-Off, Bass Tilt, Treble Tilt, and Desktop Control to compensate for placement against walls, in corners, or on desktops, eliminating standing waves and boundary effects.
Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™)
Built with Genelec's proprietary ISS technology, the monitor automatically enters an ultra-low power sleep mode (<0.5W) when no audio input is detected for a period; it wakes up instantly upon signal detection. This feature complies with EU ErP directives, saving energy while you focus on creating.
