The Professional's Compact Powerhouse: The Genelec 8030C
The Genelec 8030C is a compact but powerful active studio monitor that has become a staple in professional recording studios, broadcast facilities, and post-production houses around the world. It delivers an impressive sound pressure level and a deep, articulate bass response, all from a modest enclosure. The 8030C provides the accuracy and reliability needed for critical mixing decisions in smaller rooms or as part of a larger immersive setup.
Engineered for sonic truth, the 8030C features Genelec's renowned Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) technologies. These work together to provide a flat frequency response, precise imaging, and a wide, stable sweet spot. The included Iso-Pod™ stand decouples the monitor from its surface, reducing unwanted vibrations and allowing you to angle the speaker for perfect alignment.
With its powerful bi-amplified design and simple rear-panel room compensation switches, you can easily adapt the 8030C to any acoustic environment. It’s a true professional workhorse that provides the legendary Genelec accuracy in a compact, versatile format.
