8350A SAM™ Studio Monitor White

Genelec 8350A SAM™ Studio Monitor White is a two-way active studio monitor for recording, mixing, mastering and post-production. A 200 W Class D amplifier drives the 205 mm (8-inch) woofer, while a separate 150 W Class D amplifier powers the 25 mm (1-inch) metal-dome tweeter. The response extends down to 33 Hz at −6 dB, helping you judge the balance between kick drums, bass instruments and low-frequency effects. Balanced analogue XLR and AES/EBU digital connections support a range of studio systems, while Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) provides room calibration and speaker alignment with separately available hardware. The White version, model 8350AWM, is supplied as a single monitor with an Iso-Pod™ stand.

Creative Tools

• Build a stereo monitoring setup with two 8350A monitors. Position them symmetrically to judge whether a lead vocal holds the centre and how instruments, reverbs and delays spread across the stereo field.
• Use the 33 Hz bass extension to hear where kicks and bass lines overlap or whether a low synth note lingers into the next phrase. Add a compatible SAM™ subwoofer if your work requires deeper extension or a dedicated LFE channel.
• Use the monitor’s output headroom to assess drum transients, orchestral peaks and short sound effects. Listen to how those peaks sit against dialogue, vocals and quieter details in the same passage.
• Measure the system at your listening position with GLM AutoCal™ and separately available calibration hardware. Use the measurements to adjust frequency response, relative levels and timing across compatible SAM™ monitors.
• Configure multiple SAM™ monitors for surround or immersive production. GLM helps align levels and arrival times when a screen, console or room layout prevents equal speaker distances.
• Connect a compatible interface or monitor controller through the balanced analogue XLR input, or use AES/EBU for a digital signal path. The digital output/thru passes the AES/EBU signal to another compatible monitor.
• Aim the cabinet towards your ears using the included Iso-Pod™ stand. Its adjustable tilt helps when the monitor sits below ear height, and the stand reduces vibration transfer to the supporting surface.
