Genelec 8030b— my second pair of speakers ever!

I always wonder how many people that buy these don't know about the dip switches. Hopefully not many. The other thing no one talks about is how much louder they are than people think. Can easily throw them in most small/medium sized rooms and will have zero issues being loud enough and have almost c

Offentlig sektor lager mange podkaster til få lyttere

Sykt kult at du så det her og tok deg tid til å informere! Jeg var litt rask til å skrive her ser jeg. Visste ikke hvilke genelec det var. Trodde det var 8030 til 7k stk. eller 8040 til 12k stk. som ville vert litt overkill for en podcast. 18i8 er vel fort minimum om det er behov for flere mikrofone

I need help choosing monitoring speakers!

I would not get a 25 year old active speaker. There are lots of options around the PMC result6 price point like the Genelec 8040 or Neumann KH150. Ascilab is also Korea based and worth looking into.

which translate better ? Barefoot Footprint 01 vs Genelec 8040B

I haven't mixed on Barefoot, but I have on Genelec 8040 and found it misleading. My impression was that the two drivers don't integrate very well at nearfield distances, and because the monitors are so detailed they can clearly present a mix that lesser monitors would struggle with due to masking an

Klipsch x Euphonia

Hifi speakers are generally voiced or designed for distance listening. Get yourself some decent near field monitors especially since you have a high end digital mixer with those excellent Neve transformers to really appreciate this mixer. I have owned a lot of high end rotary mixers including ARS. T

Suggestions for a living room setup

Another consideration is that while Genelec subwoofers are great, especially the SAM models with room correction, they are also quite expensive. Non-SAM speakers like the 8040B can be paired with a subwoofer like a Kali WS-12 that costs 30% of a Genelec 7360A.

Need an advice: Genelec vs Focal vs Neumann

All of those are good value and excellent monitors, choose what fits your budget and what you can find locally. If there's a chance to test some of them before buying go do that but don't worry if you can't test them all. No bad choices here. Personally I've had Genelec 6010 and 8040 monitors and I'

Home audio systems from Europe?

You're going to be drowning in suggestions from audiophiles. I use genelec 8040, active studio monitors. They can do anything all the fancy sound systems can. They are ugly as shit though, but their sound is huge =)

Do you have any idea why my Genelec 8040A "fries" like this sometimes?

If you swap the connectors of tweeter and speaker and the crackle moves to the other speaker, then it is most likely capacitor C12 (15uF 50V) from the amplifier board. C12 is the output high pass filter for the tweeter amplifier. I had a genelec 8040 with pretty much same issue and I got rid of the

Studio Speakers

This is good advice!!!! I had to figure that one out the hard way. Got myself some Genelec 8040B + 7040A only to find out that my room is so terrible that there is hardly any benefit to systems half their size. That being said. I dont regret since they are a longtime investment. But yea before you g
