About Genelec

Genelec lists the 8010 with a 76mm woofer and 19mm tweeter, each driven by its own 25 watt Class D amplifier. Frequency response runs from 67Hz to 25kHz within minus 6dB, and maximum output is 96dB SPL or more. The enclosure is die-cast aluminium, which keeps it rigid and compact at 1.5kg, and input is by balanced XLR. The small size suits close listening at a desk, in a mobile production setup or as a second reference pair beside larger monitors.

The 8010 is sold as a single speaker, so order two for stereo. Its bass extends to 67Hz, so for music mixing with deep low end, pair it with a Genelec subwoofer or check your mix on a larger system too. Use balanced XLR cables from your interface or monitor controller; an interface with 1/4 inch TRS outputs needs TRS to XLR leads. Place the monitors at ear height, forming an equilateral triangle with your listening position. Genelec gives a two year warranty, extended by three years when registered on MyGenelec.

Genelec questions

Is the Genelec 8010 sold as a pair?

No. The 8010 we stock is sold as a single monitor, so order two for a stereo pair. For surround or immersive monitoring you can add more units. Each monitor has its own amplifiers and needs its own power and balanced XLR input.

Do I need a subwoofer with the Genelec 8010?

For speech, editing and close desktop listening, many users run the 8010 without one. Its response extends down to 67Hz, so music with heavy bass benefits from a subwoofer or checking the mix on a larger system before release.

What warranty does Genelec offer on the 8010?

Genelec gives a two year warranty as standard, and registering the monitor on MyGenelec adds a further three years. Keep your proof of purchase and register soon after receiving the monitor so the extension applies.
