Genelec 8050A Bi-Amplified Monitoring System
Capable of producing peak SPL of over 120dB per pair, and with a low frequency response extending down to 35Hz, the
8050A
is a powerful wideband bi-amplified monitoring system. It is an
excellent tool for large recording studios, broadcast and surround
installations, mastering suites and TV and post-production houses.
The sophisticated low level active crossover has versatile controls for
matching the monitor to difficult acoustic environments. Dedicated very
low distortion amplifiers power the drivers, with overload protection
for each driver.
The stiff, volume efficient MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™)
enclosure and long, curved, flow optimized reflex port combined with
low distortion drivers provide solid, clear, low frequencies with a
minimum of compression, distortion and port noise artefacts. The gently
curved sided and front MDE™ enclosure and advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide™
(DCW™) provide exceptionally smooth on and off axis frequency
responses, precise imaging and optimal directivity across the whole
audio spectrum.
Mounting of the 8050A is easy using the included Iso-Pod™(Isolation
Positioner/Decoupler™) which eliminates coloration of the sound by
decoupling the monitor from its mounting surface. The monitor can be
tilted on the Iso-Pod™ to point the acoustic axis directly at the
listening position. Other mounting options are possible using the
integrated mounting point on the rear of the enclosure, or the M10
threaded hole on its base.

The 8050A is a MIPA (Musikmesse International Press Award) 2006 award winner for Best Studio Monitor (Nearfield).
