General Description
Genelec 8320A and 8330A are two-way smart ac-
tive monitors designed for demanding professional
applications.
Genelec Smart Active Monitor™ (SAM™) digi-
tal signal processing (DSP) built inside each smart
active monitor with Genelec Loudspeaker Man-
ager™ (GLM™) software provides unparalleled
acoustic quality, ease of use, and high monitoring
accuracy even in difficult acoustic environments.
The high performance drivers are directly connect-
ed to dedicated D Class power amplifiers. System
protection is implemented as a part of the SAM
signal processing.
The MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction 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 me-
ter RJ45 cable, and an operating manual.
Connections
Before connecting, switch off 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
Monitors and subwoofers in the system are con-
nected to a computer using the GLM Adapter. An
RJ45 cable is supplied for this. Start control net-
work cabling from the GLM Adapter to the first
monitor. Continue daisy-chaining to all monitors
and subwoofers (see Figure 3). No special se-
quence is necessary.
Analog Audio Input
The analog audio input on both models accepts a
balanced male XLR connector.
