Genelec 8331AW Studio Monitor (White, Special Order)

Ultra-Compact Three-Way Point Source Studio Monitor in White Finish
The Genelec 8331AW is a Smart Active Monitor that delivers full-range, three-way performance in a footprint no larger than a typical two-way speaker. Finished in a clean white enclosure, it is the most compact member of Genelec’s “The Ones” series, combining coaxial driver technology, DSP optimization, and intelligent room correction to produce an incredibly accurate and fatigue-free monitoring experience. Designed for ultra-nearfield and small-space environments, the 8331AW is purpose-built for engineers and creators who need full-resolution monitoring in minimal space.

True Point Source Coaxial Design for Precision Imaging
At the heart of the 8331AW is Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, a unique design that aligns the midrange and high-frequency drivers at a single point, eliminating the off-axis anomalies typically found in coaxial systems. This ensures ultra-precise imaging and phase coherence, both on and off-axis. Two Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) flank the driver behind the front baffle, maintaining the symmetry of dispersion and extending low-frequency performance without affecting the frontal radiation pattern.

Extremely Controlled Dispersion for Focused Monitoring
Using Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), the 8331AW manages dispersion across an unusually wide bandwidth. The result is a broad and stable sweet spot that holds together even as you move around the mix position. The DCW also works in tandem with the MDC and ACW technologies to maintain consistent tonal balance, reduce reflections from surrounding surfaces, and eliminate listener fatigue during long sessions.

GLM Software Integration for Smart Room Calibration
The 8331AW is fully compatible with Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring system, giving users access to GLM software for room correction and system calibration. Whether in a compact control room, mobile production truck, or immersive mixing setup, GLM allows you to align level, delay, and frequency response across your monitors and subwoofers. The software’s auto-calibration tools adapt the 8331AW to any space, eliminating the need for excessive acoustic treatment and manual tweaking.

Optimized for Tight Spaces and Ultra Nearfield Listening
The 8331AW is specifically designed to perform in small rooms, where reflections, early boundary effects, and desk surfaces often interfere with accurate monitoring. With a frequency response extending from 45 Hz to 37 kHz and short-term SPL capability up to 104 dB, this monitor offers the full-range power and detail of much larger systems, without requiring additional subwoofers or external processors. It’s an ideal solution for modern producers, editors, and mastering engineers working in space-constrained environments.

Built for Reliability and Custom Integration
Genelec’s signature Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) is constructed from precision-milled aluminum, offering robust durability and reduced diffraction. Built-in overload protection and Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) extend the lifespan of your system while optimizing energy efficiency. The included Iso-Pod stand provides isolation and adjustable tilt, while integrated mounting points support wall, ceiling, and stand configurations for both vertical and horizontal placement.
