Genelec is showcasing two product innovations on Stand 8.0-H25 at Prolight + Sound 2014. The recently launched 8010, a compact-sized professional monitor is available for listening first time for the public in Europe, while the 1238A three-way Smart Active Monitor SAM, is making its Prolight + Sound debut.
The 8010 is the newest and smallest member of Genelec 8000 product range. Suitable for professional work in small studios it offers accurate monitoring capability with ease of installation. The outstanding sound quality makes 8010 ideal for small studios, OB vans, and a perfect companion for portable recording devices and other mobile production work.
The 8010 has a balanced XLR input, 3-inch woofer, 3/4-inch tweeter and efficient Class D power amplifiers (one for each driver) which produce more sound pressure level than you might expect from a monitor of this size. The Intelligent Signal Sensing ISS™ circuitry saves energy by automatically putting the monitor to sleep when the audio signal has been absent for a while. There is a full range of versatile mounting accessories for the 8010, some of which will also be on display at the show.
The 1238A is a three way monitoring loudspeaker which has the capability and intelligence to adapt to its acoustical environment with the help of Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM and AutoCal. This includes aligning levels at the listening position, delays from the signal input to the listening location, and compensating for acoustical room influences in the frequency responses.
For the first time, Genelec is also in Hall 5.1, stand A09. At this stand it is showing the M Series products, launched at last year's Prolight+Sound. The demonstrations include DJ Paul Loraine of Rhythm Cult playing different genres through a pair of M040s. Stand visitors will have a chance of winning a pair of award winning M030s by filling in a questionnaire related to the M Series.
