Genelec 8010A Overview

From Manufacturer

The white Genelec 8010A is a single 2-way active studio monitor designed to provide accurate mix referencing for audio engineers, musicians, and producers in project studios, small control rooms, or mobile setups. It features 50W of Class-D amplification driving a 3” woofer and 3/4” metal-dome tweeter, producing a frequency response of 67 Hz to 25 kHz.

A proprietary waveguide enhances imaging while the bass reflex port extends the low-frequency response. The aluminum enclosure is shaped to minimize diffraction. It supports a balanced input via an XLR 3-pin connector. Room compensation options include a sensitivity switch and multiple low-frequency adjustments. There is a selectable power-saving mode that enables automatic power up/down via a signal-sensing circuit.

The 8010A offers multiple mounting options including three pairs of threaded holes for compatibility with various brackets and an Iso-Pod isolation stand.

Nice small speaker

Nice small speaker, accurate sound with good soundscape. As noted in the description they do not have much low bass but that is expected.

What cable do I need to connect it to my laptop? It has USB A & C ports.
Asked by: JANG WOOK
You'll need to hook them up with xlr cables to an external soundcard, like a recording interface, that can send a balanced analog signal. The inputs of of the 8010s accept analog XLR connections. An interface or mixer that has XLR or 1/4" TRS outputs will connect to these with ease

Both monitors are the same model. The only difference between the two is the color. B&H #GE8010AP is the producer finish and B&H # GE8010AW is the same monitor in white finish.

question

Thanks for your input. I need to keep shopping, since two of these are out of my price range. Can someone recommend a comparable set for less than $300/set?
Asked by: Kim W.
A great alternative in similar size and price range would be the Senal ASM-3 which ship as a pair. Another quality option in your price range, the Tannoy Reveal 402. These ship as individual units and will fit your budget.

Current model on Genelec site is 8010A - what is the difference between this 8010 and 8010A?
Asked by: Eric
But Genelec has 8020D, 8030C, 8040B which are also active - so that is not consistent with "A" = Active?

question

Do I need two of these when correcting sound recorded in stereo mode? It's voice only from a lapel mic or from the camcorder.
Asked by: Kim W.
Hi Kim,You will probably want to work with two speaker because that is what your listeners will be working with. Even if the audio you are working with is mono (one channel), having two speakers enables you to ensure that the sound will play back in both speakers.
