Genelec 8380A SAM™ Main Monitor selected as finalist for NAMM Technical Excellence and Creativity (TEC) Award

Designed for precise imaging and neutral sound reproduction, the 8380A three-way midfield SAM™ Main Monitor is the natural choice for high SPL applications in medium-sized control rooms, including professional recording, mixing and mastering studios – as well as premium home audio environments. Featuring a highly linear 380 mm (15 inch) woofer and Genelec’s globally patented MDC (Minimum Diffraction Coaxial) midrange-tweeter technology, the 8380A offers exceptional dynamics, huge headroom, high SPL capability and extremely low self-noise. Providing accurate time-aligned playback and unparalleled directivity control, the 8380A’s power is matched by its precision. Stable imaging and phase coherence produce fatigue-free listening – no matter how long the session is – and even at close listening distances, 8380A users can still experience consistent, uncolored clarity, giving them the confidence to trust every detail at any playback level.

“It is a true honor that our 8380A has been nominated by peers in our industry for outstanding technical achievement,” stated Will Eggleston, Genelec Inc. Marketing Director. “It is great to be recognized once again for Genelec’s hard work, dedication and innovation, resulting in this powerful tool being brought to the marketplace.”
