Two concealed woofers handle the bass, while a 90 mm midrange driver and a 19 mm tweeter share the same acoustic axis. This arrangement helps voices, instruments and effects retain a clearly defined position in the mix. A balanced analogue XLR input and AES\/EBU digital connectivity suit a range of studio setups, while Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) provides system alignment and room calibration with separately available hardware. The Dark Grey version, model 8331AP, is supplied as a single monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact three-way coaxial active studio monitor in Dark Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of Genelec’s The Ones series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Acoustically Concealed Woofers (ACW™)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) midrange and tweeter assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated Class D amplification: 72 W bass, 36 W midrange and 36 W treble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45 Hz–37 kHz frequency response at −6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e104 dB short-term maximum SPL at 1 m under Genelec’s test conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced analogue XLR input and AES\/EBU digital input and output\/thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Active Monitoring (SAM™) with GLM system control and calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo RJ45 ports for the GLM control network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIso-Pod™ stand for isolation and tilt adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree-Way Coaxial Active SAM™ Studio Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8331AP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSales Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × 65 × 130 mm Concealed Woofers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoaxial Drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 mm Midrange Driver and 19 mm Tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 W Bass + 36 W Midrange + 36 W Treble, Class D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 Hz–37 kHz (−6 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Accuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 Hz–20 kHz (±1.5 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort-Term Maximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104 dB at 1 m, Averaged Across 100 Hz–3 kHz in Half Space\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequencies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 Hz and 3 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue Audio Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 × Balanced XLR, 10 kΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital Audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 × AES\/EBU XLR Input and 1 × AES\/EBU XLR Output\/Thru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Network\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × RJ45 GLM Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalibration Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGLM Software and Either the GLM Calibration Kit or 9320A SAM™ Reference Controller, Hardware Sold Separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMains Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100–240 V AC, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e305 × 189 × 212 mm with Iso-Pod™; 285 mm High without Iso-Pod™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.7 kg per Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Genelec 8331A SAM™ Studio Monitor, Dark Grey (8331AP), with Iso-Pod™ stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.8 m mains cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 5 m RJ45 GLM network cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ones brochure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse two 8331A monitors for \u003cstrong\u003eclose-range stereo monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e.
