Genelec takes the 'Point Source' concept to a new dimension’ with the expansion of The Ones family

The 8361A model is positioned as the largest coaxial monitor in this family, providing an optimal monitoring experience at a listening distance of up to 5 metros. An ideal piece of equipment for small and medium-sized rooms.

Genelec has expanded its line of The Ones ultimate point source monitors to bring seamless precision listening to more rooms in sizes, listening distances and sound pressure level requirements. Besides, this signature, distributed in Spain by Audio-Technica Iberia, has incorporated Adaptive Woofer technology into this line.

The announcement of the new 8351B and 8361A three-way coaxial monitors, together with the complementary W371A Adaptive Woofer system represents for this family the ability to provide neutral reference monitoring without coloration, For applications ranging from ultra-close monitoring to mastering.

The Ones series was released in 2014 with the introduction of the 8351A, that enabled professionals to work faster and make more consistent decisions when recording and mixing. In 2017, It was joined by models 8331A and 8341A, creating a trio of compact nearfield monitors.

The new 8361A three-way coaxial monitor takes the 'Point Source' concept even further., offering high acoustic performance, with a very high dynamic range, as well as optimal image and directivity and a short-term SPL of 118 dB with even higher peak levels.

The largest coaxial monitor in The Ones family, the 8361A, provide an optimal monitoring experience at a listening distance of up to 5 metros, making it perfect for small to medium room sizes.

The 8361A features two acoustically hidden woofers (ACW) newly designed, which generate a high SPL output, with extremely low distortion, and a new coaxial MDC mid and high driver that offer smooth directivity, low distortion, high SPL and a high frequency response that reaches 40 kHz.

Like all models in The Ones line, the minimum diffraction enclosure (MDE) removes coloration, the entire front part of the baffle acting as a waveguide to control directivity (DCW). In this way, a wide listening point is achieved without coloration.. Class D amplification, designed and manufactured by Genelec, is complemented by DSP processing including delays, equalization and twenty filters for room compensation.

Adaptive woofer

The Adaptive Woofer system is a concept designed specifically to integrate with monitors 8341, 8351 y 8361, y, In conjunction with these create a series of full range monitoring solutions with an optimal level of control over directivity and room acoustic effects., united with an unparalleled neutrality.

In a structure of 1,1 meters high and incorporating two high-performance woofers, one facing forward and one facing back, The W371A introduces a range of innovative ways to carefully tailor room system performance around the four critical lowest octaves..

Increasing the two woofers of any The Ones coaxial model, with the complementary W371A, Four woofers in total per channel are achieved, and these are combined using advanced acoustic measures to reduce destructive cancellation and the effect of standing waves, thanks to a set of tools that include cutoff frequencies, polar response and directivity.

As part of the SAM family (Smart Active Monitoring) de Genelec, All models in The Ones range are integrated with GLM software, that allows you to configure, calibrate and control complete smart monitoring systems. This is capable of minimizing the influence of the room on listening, allowing the user to produce mixes that will translate perfectly to other systems, either in mono format, stereo or multichannel.
