Genelec 8331ARwM SAM™ Studio Monitor

Ultra-Compact Three-Way Monitor with RAW Aluminum Finish
The Genelec 8331ARwM is a compact, three-way Smart Active Monitor built for high-end nearfield monitoring where space is limited but full-range precision is non-negotiable. Part of Genelec’s acclaimed "The Ones" series, this model packs coaxial point-source performance, dual hidden woofers, and advanced DSP into a rugged RAW aluminum finish enclosure. Whether you’re in a small control room, editing suite, or immersive setup, the 8331A delivers reference-grade clarity and imaging at any listening distance.

Three-Way Coaxial Design for Point-Source Accuracy
The 8331ARwM features Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, which aligns the midrange and tweeter to function as a single acoustic source. This true point-source design offers razor-sharp imaging and phase coherence across the entire listening area. Dual Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW), hidden behind the baffle, deliver tight and controlled low-frequency reproduction without interrupting the monitor’s symmetric dispersion pattern.

Exceptional Monitoring in Small Spaces
Despite its compact size, the 8331ARwM delivers a wide frequency response from 45 Hz to 37 kHz and can produce short-term SPL levels up to 104 dB. This allows it to function as a full-range monitoring solution in small rooms or desktop setups. Its tightly controlled directivity, made possible by the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), minimizes room interaction and expands the sweet spot, making it suitable for stereo, surround, and immersive applications.

DSP-Driven Room Compensation with GLM Support
The 8331ARwM integrates with Genelec’s Smart Active Monitor (SAM) platform and is fully compatible with the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software. GLM allows for networked calibration, level alignment, delay correction, and EQ adjustments tailored to your acoustic space. With a single button press, you can automatically optimize the monitor’s performance, ensuring consistent mixes that translate well across playback systems.

Durable RAW Finish and Smart Power Features
This special edition features Genelec’s RAW aluminum housing, which is both environmentally friendly and visually striking. The unpainted finish highlights the recycled metal chassis and resists wear in demanding environments. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology reduces energy consumption by switching the monitor to standby when no signal is present. Manual EQ and level adjustments are available via rear DIP switches for users operating without GLM.

Compact Footprint with Pro Mounting Options
Genelec’s proprietary Iso-Pod stand comes standard, isolating the monitor from vibration and allowing for adjustable tilt. The cabinet also includes threaded inserts compatible with wall and ceiling brackets for fixed installations. Whether you're building a stereo pair for critical listening or integrating the 8331ARwM into a multi-monitor immersive array, its flexible mounting and precise tuning make it fit right into any professional setup.
