When your project requires a powerful performance with no sacrifice in quality, the Genelec 8030C active studio monitor is designed to exceed your expectations. The 8030C, introduced in 2017, even delivers 4dB higher SPL and has a lower energy consumption than earlier models of 8030. As strikingly stylish as it is sonically impressive, the 8030C features the rounded edges and color-free, accurate reproduction of the rigid all-aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE).

Every element of the design is crafted to perfect your listening experience. Precise on- and off-axis frequency reproduction is courtesy of the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). Broad low-frequencies and high SPLs are delivered with a flow-optimized internal curved reflex tube and a maximized internal volume. And when you’re finished, Genelec Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry detects when your system is no longer in use, placing it into an environmentally friendly, power-saving standby mode. From professional studios to outside broadcast vehicles, the 8030C has been crafted to combine extraordinary power with absolute precision.

    They are great speakers and will reveal anything wrong in a mix, I bought them with the sub, which I did feel was needed. Good bass, but unless you want to run out to your car, get a sub too. I have yet to find a reason to dislike them. People don't leave reliable reviews on GCs website...they are stupid good speakers. I don't even bother checking my mixes elsewhere because they will be fine after putting them through these. It's an investment, but it will pay off.

  • Mint Condition arrived like it was Brand New!

    The Finland made Genelec near field studio monitors are simply State-Of-The-Art. I feel lucky to be able to afford them :) Thank you Musician's Friend.
