Compact size, big sound

The Genelec 8341 AM "The One" is an active three-way studio monitor with a coaxial speaker design that delivers first-class sound. With its signature futuristic housing produced from lightweight die-cast aluminium, this model features three separate amplifiers with a total output of 550W, driving the two oval woofers, the 90mm midrange driver, and the 19mm tweeter to deliver sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 110dB. In addition to its automatic start function, this speaker features integrated SAM technology, which allows multiple Genelec monitors to be optimised using software, a computer interface, and a measurement microphone. A balanced XLR input allows signals to be fed in without interference, while a protective circuit prevents driver damage by intercepting short-term level peaks. However, this model does not include magnetic shielding.

Impressive range of features

With a frequency range from 45Hz to 20kHz, the Genelec 8341 AM delivers impressive low-end performance for a compact monitor. To achieve this, the speaker uses bass reflex technology, which maximises low-frequency sound pressure and extends the driver transmission range. The (deactivatable) automatic start function detects whether a signal is present and automatically switches the amplifier unit on as required. This makes the speaker easy to operate and helps save energy. An analogue XLR input, two digital XLR sockets for the AES/EBU format, and two RJF5 network ports are provided. The latter allow the monitor to be integrated into a GLM network, enabling dynamic frequency adjustments via software. Frequency adjustments can also be carried out manually rather than by software.

For the discerning listener

Anyone looking for a monitor speaker with a flat frequency response, an adjustable monitoring sound for multiple listening environments, and a spacious, three-dimensional sound will not be disappointed by the Genelec 8341 AM. The speaker is an excellent choice for recording and mixing professionals who rely on consistently high-quality sound and may need to adjust its sensitivity, which can be performed using a small rotary control. The housing materials and shape also contribute to the speaker's high-quality sound, minimising resonances and ensuring optimum sound dispersion in multi-speaker setups.

About Genelec

Genelec was founded in 1976 by Ilpo Martikainen. It grew from a family business into one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional studio and broadcasting loudspeakers. To this day, Genelec's loudspeakers are manufactured exclusively in Finland. Genelec offers performance-oriented, neutral-sounding loudspeakers and subwoofer systems for audio professionals and sound enthusiasts, and a combination of innovative technology and design ensure that the range of products is continuously improving. The company is committed to sustainable development and environmental awareness. In 2018, Genelec was awarded the Pro Sound "Company of the Year" award. Genelec speakers are favourites of such recording industry veterans as Obie O'Brien, Michael Carnes, and David Reitzas, as well as of producers like Hardwell, Keith Ross, and Vini Vici.

Ideal for stereo and surround setups

Whether in a professional studio or high-quality project studio, the Genelec 8341 AM delivers outstanding results thanks to its flat frequency response and both manual and automatic room-adaptation features. It can be used not only as part of a stereo set, but also as a component in a surround setup. Genelec also offers a suitable subwoofer for this purpose – the Genelec 7360APM. When used on resonant surfaces such as a desk or stand, the integrated IsoPod comes into play, decoupling the speaker from its support surface using a combination of rubber feet and connecting bars. Threaded inserts at the rear of the housing provide secure mounting. Genelec also supplies suitable mounting accessories, such as the Genelec 8000-325B Table Stand.

In the spotlight

SAM system and GLM network

The SAM system ("Smart Active Monitor") is a technology developed by the Finnish manufacturer Genelec. It enables speakers to be adapted almost fully automatically to the acoustic characteristics of a room. This is achieved using the GLM speaker software, a Genelec measurement microphone, and the corresponding computer interface, all of which are available together as a set (article no. 357055). An integrated DSP solution within the SAM monitors ensures that acoustic issues are compensated for, and the system automatically applies the appropriate frequency adjustment, while also allowing the listening position and speaker alignment to be optimised. Up to 30 monitors and subwoofers can be connected, adapted to the room, and matched to each other, and multiple settings can also be created and recalled for different listening positions.

After testing the 8341s, 8340s, glm kit and volume controll I am sure Genelec make beautiful products. Been using the 8341s for my main monitors for over a year now and they've provided valuable clarity in music production. I have found the claims that they are less fatiguing on the ears to be true. When buying I tested the 8340s first, they sounded great, but my ears got tired after 30 minutes (in a large part due to my room acoustics) . These were more expensive but my ears have been so grateful for the investment.

GLM control of the lowend in my room sounds surprisingly good but there is a big dip at 80hz listening position (due to my room). I hope to one day test out a sub to see if this can tighten the lowend more.

Recently upgraded my soundcard and now feed them with AES, it made a small improvement to the depth of the sound vs my old Audient soundcard.

Ideale Nahfeldmonitore

Organist_ 14.11.2022

Ich nutze die Monitore in einem Hörabstand von ca. 60cm.
Das Stereobild ist äußerst präzise: die Ortbarkeit der Instrumente ist hervorragend. Dafür muß man nicht still in der Mitte sitzen blieben - der Sweet Spot hat eine bequeme Breite (und Höhe!), wodurch sehr komfortables Arbeiten möglich wird.
Besonders nach Kalibrierung mit dem GLM-System geben die Monitore alle Details der Musik wieder, nichts ist überbetont und man kann längere Zeit ohne Ermüdung mit ihnen arbeiten.
Die Verarbeitung ist absolut perfekt.
Ein paar Sachen können/müssen mit den Dip-Schaltern auf der Rückseite eingestellt werden, wie z.B. AES/EBU-Kanalzuweisung, Auto-Aus, Verwendung der intern gespeicherten EQ-Einstellungen. Die Dip-Schalter sind recht klein geraten. Aber in der Regel wird man da nur 1x rangehen.
Für Genelec-Monitore spricht auch das GLM-System, welches äußerst informativ ist: neben der Lautsprecheranpassung man bekommt eine detaillierte Analyse der eigenen Abhörsituation mit Tipps zur Verbesserung.
