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 difficult acoustic 
environments. The high performance drivers are 
directly connected 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 
meter 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
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 first 
monitor. Continue daisy-chaining to all monitors 
and subwoofers (see Figure 3). No special 
sequence is necessary.
