Genelec 8341AM SAM Studio Monitor (Black, Special Order)

Three-Way Compact Studio Monitor with Black Finish
The Genelec 8341AM is a premium Smart Active Monitor designed for professional nearfield use in recording, mixing, mastering, and immersive audio. With a sleek black finish and a compact footprint, it packs advanced point-source driver technology and Genelec’s signature DSP-powered room correction tools into a robust enclosure. This monitor is part of The Ones series—Genelec’s flagship for precision imaging and consistent performance in acoustically challenging spaces.

Point Source Coaxial Driver for Consistent Imaging
At the core of the 8341AM is a Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, combining a 3.5" midrange and a ¾" tweeter into a single point source. This coaxial layout aligns the acoustical axes of all drivers, resulting in phase-coherent playback and stable imaging across a wide listening area. The large Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) extends across the face of the enclosure, providing wide dispersion and accurate off-axis response—ideal for stereo and immersive formats.

Dual Hidden Woofers for Tight Low-End Performance
Two 6.6" Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) are hidden behind the waveguide, radiating through side ports. This symmetrical design eliminates unnecessary diffraction and contributes to a cleaner, more accurate low-frequency response. The reflex port further enhances bass efficiency, allowing the 8341AM to extend down to 38 Hz while maintaining tight, controlled low end that holds up under scrutiny in any monitoring situation.

Smart Active Monitor System with GLM Integration
The 8341AM is fully compatible with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, allowing for automatic room calibration and system alignment. With onboard DSP and GLM, users can optimize level, timing, and EQ for their acoustic environment. Whether working in a treated room or a less-than-ideal space, the 8341AM ensures reliable, consistent monitoring by minimizing room coloration and phase issues.

Flexible I/O with Analog and Digital Signal Support
Connectivity includes separate XLR inputs for analog and AES/EBU digital audio. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) detects which signal is active and switches automatically, though GLM can override this for manual source control. The monitor also includes an XLR AES/EBU output for daisy-chaining additional digital monitors. Dual RJ45 ports provide network access for full GLM functionality, system control, and multi-monitor setups.

Compact Design with Full Standalone Control
The rear panel offers DIP switches and a level control for offline configuration, making the 8341AM usable without GLM software if needed. The Iso-Pod stand isolates the speaker from surfaces while allowing tilt adjustment for precise aiming. Thanks to the symmetrical cabinet design, the monitor can be oriented horizontally or vertically without affecting performance—ideal for multichannel installations.

Built for Demanding Monitoring Environments
Engineered for accuracy, the 8341AM is suitable for use in post-production suites, music studios, and immersive sound setups requiring long hours of critical listening. Its neutral frequency response, wide dispersion, and low distortion ensure mixes translate reliably. Whether you're working in stereo, 5.1, or Atmos, the 8341AM delivers high-resolution monitoring in a space-efficient form.
