Genelec 8320A SAM Studiomonitori RAW
Genelec 8320A SAM™ Studio Monitor RAW
Compact enough to fit into the tightest of spaces - yet intelligent enough to adapt to your recording environment - the 8320A is your entry point into the world of Smart Active Monitoring.
Transparent and truthful
The 8320A provides transparent and truthful reproduction, and with its wide uncoloured sweet spot you are always in a position to make accurate, reliable mix decisions. The recycled aluminium design of it rear-ported enclosure not only provides staggering LF extension from such a compact unit, its curved form and integrated waveguide guarantees precise, detailed performance both on and off axis.
Compact but clever
As a Smart Active Monitor, the 8320A integrates closely with our GLM software via which it can be configured and calibrated for your listening environment, compensating for detrimental room influences to create a truly optimised monitoring solution from mono to immersive. So whether you work in challenging acoustic spaces or need a mobile solution that can quickly adapt to different rooms, the 8320A is your compact but clever monitoring companion.

Group delay
The latency at high frequencies from the input to the acoustic output, measured in the analog input:
Extended Phase Linearity in GLM set to OFF
2.8 ms
In Genelec performance graphics, the time of converting the from an electronic input signal to the acoustic output in a Genelec monitor is described by two factors – latency and group delay. The group delay factor can be read in the graphics for a specific frequency. The total frequency-specific input-to-output delay is a sum of the latency and group delay factors. To understand the significance of this total delay, consider that moving a loudspeaker away by 1 meter creates an additional delay of about 3 ms.
