Genelec 8351B Monitors (Pair) + GLM Bundle

A revolution in three-way monitor design, the 8351B boasts a unique look, compact size and a performance that has to be heard to be believed.m

The newly upgraded 8351B manages to improve on the exemplary performance of its iconic ‘A’ version predecessor by offering increased SPL, additional room compensation EQs, equalised delay and enhanced HF response. Offering the same extraordinary imaging and uncoloured precision of its smaller 8331 and 8341 siblings, the 8351B has the additional benefit of a higher maximum SPL for longer listening distances - plus even greater low frequency extension.

The Ones family of point source monitors promotes faster and more consistent decision making, but also allows you to work reliably on longer sessions - because unnatural imaging, a main contributor to listener fatigue, is minimised. Dispersion is controlled over an unusually wide frequency range thanks to the large integrated waveguide (DCW™) with dual hidden woofers; and orientation may be either horizontal or vertical. Their looks are striking too, whichever way you turn them.

As part of the Genelec smart active monitoring range, the 8351B can be configured, calibrated and controlled using our powerful GLM software, enabling it to adapt to your acoustic space and compensate for any detrimental room influences. So whether you are working in stereo, surround or immersive formats, you can be confident of producing mixes that will translate beautifully to other rooms and systems.

• Activate solo, mute and standard calibrated listening levels;
• Engage bass management or entire system delay offsets;
• Switch between listening locations, including individual monitor time offsets;
• Manage and control more than 80 Genelec monitors and subwoofers.
• Automatically adjust in-room frequency response, distance delay and listening level;
• Adjust, personalize and store any automatic setting freely;
• Create and expand systems to suit all types of stereo, multi-channel or 3D immersive audio formats;
• Sample room responses in an unlimited number of microphone locations;
• Enjoy the benefits of consistent performance and accurate monitoring in any  production environment.

GLM AutoCal™

GLM AutoCal provides the industry’s first integrated process for complete automated measurement, analysis, and adjustment of every monitor on the GLM control network.

• GLM AutoCal provides the industry’s first integrated process for complete automated measurement, analysis, and adjustment of every monitor on the GLM control network.
• It uses a factory-calibrated Genelec 8300A acoustic measurement microphone (included)
• GLM AutoCal aligns relative levels and compensates distance differences, and adjusts correct crossover phase for all subwoofers on the network.
• The Acoustic Response Editor provides accurate graphical display of the measured response, filter compensation and the resulting system response for each monitor, with full manual control of acoustic settings
• SinglePoint™ and MultiPoint™ microphone positions provide measurements for one, two or three person mixing environments (ex: recording/mixing engineer, musician and producer positions), optimizing the listening conditions over an area.

Includes

• Quick Connection Guide
• GLM™ V4.0 Network Adapter
• USB cable
• Genelec 8300A Calibration microphone and holder for 3/8 in and 5/8 in thread
