General Description
Genelec 8320A and 8330A are two-way smart
active monitors designed for demanding
professional applications.
Genelec Smart Active Monitor™ (SAM™)
digital signal processing (DSP) built inside each
smart active monitor with Genelec Loudspeaker
Manager™ (GLM™) software provides
unparalleled acoustic quality, ease of use, and
high monitoring accuracy even in dicult acoustic
environments. The high performance drivers are
directly connected to dedicated D Class power
ampliers. System protection is implemented as
a part of the SAM signal processing.
The MDE™ (Minimum Diraction Enclosure™)
enclosure is made of die-cast aluminium and
shaped to reduce edge diffraction. Combined
with the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide
TM
(DCW
TM
), this design contributes to the excellent
acoustic neutrality.
Delivery Contents
Each monitor is supplied with a mains cable, 5
meter RJ45 cable, and an operating manual.
Connections
Before connecting, switch o the monitors and the
signal source. Once all the connections have been
made, the monitors can be switched on.
Mains Power
The power switch is located on the back panel (see
Figure 2). Connect the monitor to a mains socket
having a protective earthed connection. Do not
connect to an unearthed mains supply or using an
unearthed mains cable. These monitors feature an
universal mains voltage and can be connected to
any voltage between 100-240 VAC 50-60 Hz.
GLM Network Connection
Up to 30 monitors and subwoofers can be
connected to a computer using the GLM Adapter.
An RJ45 cable is supplied for this. Start control
network cabling from the GLM Adapter to the rst
monitor. Continue daisy-chaining to all monitors
and subwoofers (see Figure 3). No special
sequence is necessary.
