Genelec 8020A Two-Way Active Monitor

Discontinued - New Version Available

8020A Two-Way Active Monitor description:

The Genelec 8020A Two-way active monitor. Genelec's smallest speaker system to date, designed for monitoring in difficult listening environments, particularly those compromised by lack of space. However, size is no handicap to performance as the 8020 A two-way active monitoring system incorporates Genelec's acoustic design innovations to minimise all forms of distortion. The Genelec 8020A has a die-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE), which features relatively large internal volumes; softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical strength. As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension with such a compact enclosure are truly astounding. The Genelec 8020A also incorporates the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW), which provides an amazingly smooth on and off axis response; while the long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation. Each 8020 A monitor features a 105 mm (4 inch) bass driver along with a 19 mm (3/4 inch) tweeter loaded into a new advanced Genelec Directivity Controlled Waveguide (DCW). The free field frequency response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 2.5 dB).The Genelec 8020A can be combined with the new 7050B Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE) subwoofer to provide a powerful, bass-managed and wide bandwidth surround sound monitoring system.

The main features of the Genelec 8020A include:

The ideal Active Monitor choice in situations where a wide frequency response is needed but space is limited, in a compact package with performance comparable to much larger systems
