Genelec 8341AP SAM Studio Monitor (Producer Finish)

Compact Three-Way Studio Monitor with Producer Finish
The Genelec 8341AP is a Smart Active Monitor designed for high-resolution mixing, mastering, and immersive production in nearfield setups. Styled in a sleek Producer finish, it combines compact dimensions with advanced acoustic engineering to deliver exceptional point-source accuracy and high SPL. With coaxial driver technology, dual concealed woofers, and full GLM network integration, the 8341AP offers serious performance for studios where precision and space efficiency go hand in hand.

Coaxial Design for Phase-Coherent Imaging
At the heart of the 8341AP is Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver, which merges a 3.5" midrange and a ¾" tweeter into a single, time-aligned source. This true point-source configuration ensures consistent response across on-axis and off-axis positions. When combined with Genelec’s proprietary Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), the monitor offers controlled dispersion and accurate imaging in both stereo and immersive applications—even when placed horizontally or vertically.

Dual Hidden Woofers Deliver Extended Low-End Response
The 8341AP includes two 6.6" Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) integrated behind the waveguide and radiating through side openings. This hidden design maintains a symmetrical enclosure layout while extending the frequency response down to 38 Hz. The bass reflex port supports efficient low-frequency output without distortion, making the 8341AP capable of full-range reproduction in a compact footprint.

Smart Active Monitor System with GLM Compatibility
As part of Genelec’s SAM series, the 8341AP features built-in DSP that allows the monitor to adapt to room acoustics. Using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software and optional calibration kit, users can fine-tune delay, level, EQ, and input source selection. GLM enables seamless integration into multi-speaker configurations and provides consistent monitoring in both treated and untreated environments.

Flexible Analog and Digital Input Options
The 8341AP includes one XLR input for analog and another for AES/EBU digital audio. The monitor automatically detects the active signal type using Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS), though this behavior can be overridden via GLM. A digital XLR output is also available for daisy-chaining AES/EBU signals to additional monitors, simplifying wiring in surround and immersive systems.

Offline Configuration and Built-In Isolation Stand
For standalone operation, DIP switches on the rear panel allow basic setup and channel selection without software. A rotary level control is included for manual volume adjustment. Each monitor comes with an Iso-Pod stand, which isolates the speaker from reflective surfaces and allows tilt adjustments for accurate positioning. The enclosure’s Producer finish provides a professional look that blends into modern studio spaces.

Performance Without Listener Fatigue
Thanks to its point-source design and wide dispersion characteristics, the 8341AP offers accurate playback with minimal coloration, reducing ear fatigue over long sessions. Its compact design and high output capacity make it ideal for nearfield listening distances from 3 to 10 feet, whether in music production, video editing, or immersive audio monitoring.
