Description

Genelec 8020A Details
Genelec introduces its smallest speaker system to date with the new 8020A (Height with Iso-Pod� 242 mm, Width 151 mm and Depth 142 mm). The system has been designed for monitoring in difficult listening environments, particularly those compromised by lack of space. However, size is no handicap to performance as the 8020A two-way active monitoring system incorporates Genelec's acoustic design innovations to minimise all forms of distortion.

The 8020A has a die-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE�), which features relatively large internal volumes; softly curved edges and outstanding mechanical strength. As a result, the imaging accuracy and low frequency extension with such a compact enclosure are truly astounding.

The 8020A also incorporates the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW�), which provides an amazingly smooth on and off axis response; while the long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.

Each monitor features a 105 mm (4 inch) bass driver along with a 19 mm (3/4 inch) tweeter loaded into a new advanced Genelec Directivity Controlled Waveguide (DCW�). The free field frequency response is 66 Hz to 20 kHz (� 2.5 dB). Maximum peak SPL output per pair with music material is 105 dB at 1 m. Bass and treble are each powered by 20 watt amplifiers.

8020A can be combined with the new 7050B Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE�) subwoofer to provide a powerful, bass-managed and wide bandwidth surround sound monitoring system.

What We Think
The consistency between each of the 8000 series speakers is amazing, you can move from the 8020 all the way to the 8050 and the imaging and detail of the mids / highs is strikingly similar. What you gain by moving up a series is another roughly 10hZ of low end detail and volume. Very detailed sound, they even look cool! All 8000 series monitors ship with the �Isopod� which is a cool way to decouple and position them. Surround systems are available at a discount package price as well.
