Genelec 8361AM Studio Monitor (Black)

Flagship Three-Way Monitor for Critical Listening Spaces
The Genelec 8361AM is the largest model in The Ones series and represents the most advanced studio monitoring solution Genelec has ever developed. This black-finished, coaxial point source monitor delivers exceptional clarity, wide dynamic range, and ultra-precise imaging—making it ideal for professional audio engineers working in stereo, surround, or immersive formats. Whether you're mixing in a control room or mastering in a dedicated suite, the 8361AM provides reference-level accuracy at distances up to 5 meters.

Dual Acoustically Concealed Woofers Deliver Deep, Clean Bass
This monitor features two newly designed Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW) that produce high SPL output with extremely low distortion. Hidden behind the front baffle, these woofers maintain the enclosure’s sleek look while extending the low-end performance down to 36 Hz. The result is tight, controlled bass response without the need for external subwoofers—perfect for full-range monitoring in music production, broadcast, or post environments.

Minimum Diffraction Coaxial Driver Enhances Imaging and Accuracy
At the core of the 8361AM is Genelec’s proprietary MDC (Minimum Diffraction Coaxial) driver, combining a 5" midrange and 1" tweeter into a true point source configuration. This design maintains phase coherence across the entire frequency spectrum and eliminates off-axis coloration, producing a wide, natural sweet spot and clear stereo image even in acoustically challenging rooms.

Directivity Control Waveguide Provides Wide and Even Coverage
The entire front baffle of the 8361AM functions as a Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), working in tandem with the coaxial driver and concealed woofers to provide consistent dispersion. This allows for smooth off-axis performance, reduced room reflections, and excellent translation across different playback systems—especially important in immersive monitoring setups such as Dolby Atmos or multichannel post-production rooms.

Room Compensation and System Management via GLM Software
As part of the Smart Active Monitor (SAM) family, the 8361AM integrates seamlessly with Genelec’s GLM (Loudspeaker Manager) software. With GLM, users can calibrate the monitor to their specific acoustic environment, manage speaker groups, and fine-tune delay, level, and EQ. This ensures accurate performance even in untreated or non-ideal rooms, and it enables consistent monitoring across multiple rooms or locations.

Built for Long Sessions with Low Listening Fatigue
Unnatural imaging and distortion are common sources of ear fatigue during long sessions. The 8361AM’s point source design, flat frequency response, and precise directivity reduce listener fatigue significantly—allowing engineers to make confident decisions faster and work longer without compromise. This makes the 8361AM a top choice for high-pressure workflows where accuracy and comfort are equally important.

Professional Integration and Studio-Ready Features
With both analog and digital AES/EBU input support, built-in protection circuitry, and optimized Class D amplifiers, the 8361AM is engineered for real-world professional use. Rear DIP switches provide manual control for offline adjustments, while the included Iso-Pod stand isolates the monitor from desk or console surfaces. Versatile mounting options support a range of configurations, from horizontal desktop setups to vertical immersive layouts.
