ing down to standby mode happens after a
certain time when playback has ended. The
power consumption in standby mode is typi-
cally less than 0.5 watts. The playback will
automatically resume once an input signal is
detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic
powering up. If this is undesirable, the ISS
TM
function can be disabled by setting the “ISS
DISABLE” switch on the back panel to “ON”
position. In this mode, the monitor is powered
on and off using the power switch on the back
panel.
MDE™ and DCW™ Technology
The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™
(MDE™) Technology increases the perfor-
mance of the Genelec 8000 Series loud-
speakers by minimizing edge diffraction and
improving frequency and power response.
The edges of the enclosure are rounded and
blend seamlessly into the enlarged Directiv-
ity Control Waveguide™. Surface disconti-
nuities that cause diffraction are minimized.
The curved walls of the die-cast aluminium
enclosure are thin but rigid, allowing maxi-
mum internal volume while also providing
improved EMC shielding and heat dissipa-
tion for the ampliers. Locating the reex
port to the back of the enclosure allows a
generously dimensioned reex port for mini-
mal port noise and excellent bass articulation
while freeing the front bafe for an enlarged
and optimized DCW™.
The advanced DCW™ is designed to match
the performance of the drivers in terms of both
frequency response and directivity. This results
in a smoother overall frequency response on
and off axis. In addition, the improved directiv-
ity control causes more direct sound and less
reected sound to be received at the listen-
ing position, providing improved imaging and
reducing the effects of differing control room
acoustics. The DCW™ improves the drive unit
sensitivity by +2 to +6 dB (depending on the
particular application), thus also increasing
the available system maximum sound pres-
sure level.
Mounting
The 8050B offers several mounting options:
The vibration insulating Isolation Positioner/
Decoupler™ (Iso-Pod™) table stand allows
tilting the speaker for correct alignment of the
acoustic axis. The stand can be attached to
three mounting points allowing vertical and
symmetrical horizontal positioning. On the
rear of the enclosure there are two sets of
M6x10 mm threaded holes to accommo-
date an Omnimount
®
size 60.0 bracket. On
the base of the enclosure is a M10x10 mm
threaded hole which can be used for securing
the loudspeaker to its base.
Guarantee
The 8050B is guaranteed for a period of two
years against faults in materials or workman-
ship.
