Genelec 8030CW 2-Way Active Studio Monitor (White)

Compact Studio Monitor for Professional Applications
The Genelec 8030CW is a 2-way active studio monitor built to deliver detailed sound in a compact form factor. With a 5” woofer and 3/4” metal-dome tweeter, it delivers clear, accurate audio for professional mix referencing in small studios, edit suites, and mobile rigs. Finished in white, this model offers both sonic precision and a clean, modern aesthetic that fits into a wide range of environments where appearance matters.

Optimized Sound for Critical Listening
Designed to maintain accurate frequency response across a wide listening area, the 8030CW uses Genelec’s signature Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) to shape dispersion. The result is a wide, stable soundstage that minimizes off-axis coloration and listener fatigue. Its frequency range of 54 Hz to 20 kHz (±2 dB) ensures detailed low-end and high-frequency clarity, making it suitable for tasks like dialogue editing, music mixing, and sound design.

High Output with Intelligent Amplification
Despite its small size, the 8030CW is powerful enough to fill small-to-medium rooms with precision sound. Each driver is powered by its own 50-watt Class D amplifier, enabling a peak SPL of 110 dB per pair at 1 meter. The active crossover ensures optimal driver integration and phase alignment, while built-in overload protection helps safeguard the components during demanding sessions.

Smart Energy Management and Connectivity
The 8030CW includes Genelec’s ISS (Intelligent Signal Sensing) technology, which automatically powers down the speaker when no audio is detected, reducing energy consumption in long sessions. An XLR input provides balanced analog connectivity, making it easy to integrate into professional workflows using standard interface or console outputs.

Flexible Placement with Acoustic Isolation
To support precise monitor positioning, the 8030CW includes an Iso-Pod stand, which decouples the speaker from the surface and allows vertical tilt adjustment. The die-cast aluminum enclosure features a bass reflex port and Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) design to reduce coloration from enclosure reflections, enhancing clarity whether placed on a desktop, stand, or console bridge.
