WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Genelec 8010A

What it brings

  • At 1.5 kg and 121 mm wide it suits tight desks, and the Iso-Pod stand is included.
  • Genelec publishes idle and standby consumption (≤5 W and ≤0.5 W with ISS) alongside a ±2.5 dB response of 74 Hz–20 kHz.
  • Rear-panel room compensation switches adapt the response to the space, and the cabinet uses Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology.

What to check

  • Only an XLR input is provided, so consumer RCA, 3.5 mm or Bluetooth sources need an interface or adapter.
  • Sold singly: a stereo setup needs two units, and Genelec lists the −6 dB low cut-off at 67 Hz.
