Product Description
The newly enhanced Genelec 8351B is a remarkable audio masterpiece. It builds on the outstanding performance of its iconic predecessor, offering increased Sound Pressure Level (SPL), more room compensation EQs, equalized delay, and an improved high - frequency response. This monitor provides exceptional imaging and unbiased precision, standing out among its smaller 8331 and 8341 siblings.
With a higher maximum SPL for longer listening distances and greater low - frequency extension, the 8351B helps you make faster and more consistent decisions. Thanks to the large integrated Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) with dual hidden woofers, it has controlled dispersion over a wide frequency range, ensuring unmatched accuracy and clarity. Whether placed horizontally or vertically, the stylish Ones family of point source monitors will surely catch your eye.
As part of the Genelec smart active monitoring range, you can configure, calibrate, and control the 8351B using the powerful GLM software. This allows it to adapt to your acoustic space and compensate for any negative room influences. Whether you're working in stereo, surround, or immersive formats, you can be confident that your mixes will sound great in other rooms and systems.

Using the Genelec 8351B is easy. First, connect it to your audio source using the analog or AES/EBU audio inputs. If you want to take full advantage of its features, use the GLM software with the dual RJ45 (CAT5 cable) for network connection. You can place the monitor horizontally or vertically according to your space and needs.
When it comes to calibration, you can use the DIP switches or the AutoCal feature. This will help the monitor adapt to your room's acoustic properties.
Here are some important things to note. Make sure to place the monitor on a stable surface. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can affect its performance. Also, keep it away from moisture.
For maintenance, regularly clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any harsh chemicals. Check the cables periodically to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice any problems, contact the manufacturer for support.
