WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Genelec 8030C

What it brings

  • Genelec lists a ±2 dB response of 54 Hz–20 kHz with a −6 dB low cut-off at 47 Hz.
  • ISS auto-standby is rated at ≤0.5 W, idle draw at ≤3 W, and the Iso-Pod stand is included.
  • Rear-panel room compensation switches let the monitor be optimised for the room, and Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) is among its listed technologies.

What to check

  • The only input is a balanced XLR, with no RCA, Bluetooth or USB connection.
  • Sold singly and weighing 5 kg per monitor, so a stereo pair needs two units and a sturdy desk or stands.
