Genelec brings audio over IP to the present with the SAM studio monitor 8430

This equipment is destined to become the ideal tool for AoIP systems in recording studios, post-production, digital editing rooms, radio and television broadcasting.

He 8430 is the culmination of many years of research and development by Genelec, whose brand sells Lexon Distribution, in AoIP technology that combines a wide variety of connectivity options. It is possible to input the signal into the monitor in AES67 format, the industry AoIP standard, through the RJ45 connector housed in an XLR or input standard analog signal through a balanced XLR connector.

“At Genelec we believe that audio over IP networks, using systems fully compatible with open global standards, is the correct way, reliable and solid to meet the future needs of the professional audio market. With the 8430 we are one step closer to this reality. With the technological advances that have been made in this field and the interest in AoIP, we believe that there is potential for a well-designed monitor that provides all the advantages and features that IP networks can offer.. Audio over IP is no longer the future of monitoring, “It is the present.”, says Siamäk Naghian, director general de Genelec.

As a product belonging to the Genelec SAM series, he 8430 shares the same electroacoustic characteristics, What are MDE and DCW technologies like?, a flow-optimized reflex port, extremely low distortion, a high SPL and a very wide frequency response, devoid of any type of coloration. All this in a very compact enclosure.

Besides, as a member of the SAM series, he 8430 It is also compatible with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager control software (GLM 2.0), which allows you to adjust all the monitor's operating parameters and exercise full control over the monitoring system.

As a central part of GLM, Intelligent AutoCal technology improves monitoring accuracy by compensating for deficiencies in the listening environment.

After an automatic calibration, based on one or more listening positions, all system components play at the same level, eliminating all acoustic colorations from the monitors' response, leaving a sound with high consistency and a neutral sound image.
