Is this a good monitor for everyday use on a computer with built-in sound card and 1/8" to dual XLR splitter cable?
Asked by: Allen
The Genelec 8020D Studio Monitor (Producer Finish) is an excellent choice for everyday monitoring, and it can be used with your computer's built-in sound card if an audio interface or monitor controller is not an option.

Can these monitors be paired with a non-Genelec subwoofer without trouble?
Asked by: Daniel
They can be paired with any sub, even a non-Genelec. The 7040 would be the recommended sub but I suggest using a sub that has a built in crossover. You want to ensure you're using a crossover that high passes the 8020s and not just applies a low pass filter to the subwoofer. This will have a cleaner response in the room. With that in mind, make sure you're connecting the 8020s to the sub, rather than connecting all 3 to a monitor controller, unless the monitor controller has a crossover built in

Can the ISS be disabled? I see that there's a DIP switch for "ISS" on the back, so I assume that's for enabling/disabling ISS, but I'd like confirmation. ISS is not a feature I need or want. Thanks!
Asked by: Pete
An ‘ISS Disable’ switch is located on each product’s back plate next to the other room response controls. First, when the mains power switch of the loudspeaker is set to “ON”, the ISS™ auto-start function (low-power sleep state on/off) of the loudspeaker is active. If this function is not desired, the ISS™ function can be disabled by setting the “ISS Disable” switch on the back panel to “ON” position. In this mode, the monitor is only powered on and off using the mains power switch. I hope this answers your question. Thanks.

Can I connect two of these speakers to a Scarlett Solo Preamp?
Asked by: The
Yes, a pair of Genelec 8020D Studio Monitors can be used alongside and receive signal from a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2x2 USB Audio Interface with the proper cabling. The Hosa Technology Balanced 1/4" TRS Male to 3-Pin XLR Male Audio Cable (BH #HOHSX005) is an example of the type of cable required to feed each speaker: https://bhpho.to/3R26bkP
