The Genelec 8050B Active 8" Studio Monitor Singlefrom Genelec 8050B Active 8" Studio Monitor Singleprovides an accurate reproduction of the source material in a compact form-factor with high output. Its die-cast aluminum enclosure features a rounded shape, which minimizes distortions caused by edge diffraction. The metal dome tweeter is surrounded by a smoothly-shaped Directivity Controlled Waveguide, which helps to create an even response when listening both on and off axis.

The 8050B is built with Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology which automatically activates the speaker when an audio signal is detected, and puts it in Standby Mode when no signal is present, reducing the energy consumption to less than 0.5 watts. The 8050B features a 120 watt high frequency amplifier for its 1" tweeter, and a 150 watt low frequency amplifier for its 8" woofer. The bass response is expanded by a rear-facing reflex port, and a separately available Genelec subwoofer can be used to monitor a wider array of frequencies.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How thick is this pad?

A: It's not a level surface but about 2 or 3 inches.

Q: 2. Please advise if the Genelec 8020.LSE ESPRESSO Active 5.1 Monitoring System has a 220V power supply?

A: Our units ship as 120 VAC units only and cannot be externally switched.

Q: 3. How about some dimensions?

A: Auray IP-S Surface Area - 7.5 x 9.25 (19 x 23.5 cm) Dimensions total - 7.5 x 11.25 (19 x 28.6 cm)

Q: 4. Are casters available for this item?

A: No, casters are not available for this type of stand. They do make stands with casters that have a flatter leg extension but these types of C-Stands are a stand alone type & do not incorporate the use of wheels.

Q: 5. So this remote apparently communicates with the GLM network adapter - does the GLM software need to be actively running on the host computer to use this remote, or can the network adapter simply be powered (by USB I presume) with no GLM software running?

A: Yes, the Genelec 9101A Wireless Volume Control for GLM User Kit is capable of communicating with the GLM Network Adapter when the adapter is powered with a USB adapter as well as while it is connected to a computer over USB. Pages 69/70 of the GLM Operating Manual linked here provide more details: https://bit.ly/3wIhS8U

Q: 6. Will this work with a canon eos rebel t5 ?

A: This monitor will not work with the Canon T5i. This monitor does not feature an HDMI input which is necessary.

Q: 7. Does the headphone output have enough power to drive Sennheiser HD600 headphones which are I believe 300 ohms?

A: Absolutely. The headphone amps in these products are the same as are in our mixers, dedicated headphone amps and other interface products, which support the entire range of common headphone impedances, and have been trusted for use with pro headphones (read: high impedance) for nearly 30 years.

A: Sorry its single

[110 dB] this is like you buy it and last for about 25 years, and the used market value are still giving you back the difference, if you hesitated this is a to go 5

[3.0 kHz] The 8030C is a fine speaker but it struggles below 90Hz and is hopeless below 60. The 7050C works perfectly with a pair of 8030C. Setting up the phase and sensitivity took maybe 5 minutes. Getting it out of the box took longer. If you have a set of Genelec monitors, especially the 8030 or smaller models, this sub is a no-brainer. 5

[3.0 kHz] Supurb near field experience speakers. I am using these on my desk tied into a BlueSound Node and subscribed to Tidal. Can't say enough good things about these. Even a low volume the bass is clear. No need for a sub unless you re really cranking the volume and have the room for these. 5

Phillip	22/07/2024
[150W] I have been using Genelec 8010s for 4 years as computer monitors but recent heavier listening overloaded the bass so I splurged on a set of 8030Cs. OMG, a new spring has arrived! A whole complex of midrange, bass, attack, separation has appeared. I never realized what was missing. I am overwhelmed. God, Genelec! 5

Sebastien	19/07/2024
[120W] These small monitors are tiny but produce very high levels with low distortion and great clarity. Very easy to carry in the bag specific to the model. These are really incredible for the size! I have Focal Twins in the main studio and these in an auxiliary room. The white model is also beautiful and takes very little space on a small desktop. 5

Leo	12/07/2024
[1x XLR balanced] Very accurate and neutral near-field monitors with enormous dynamic range. Perfect for hi-res audio playback as well as recording monitoring. Built in and very clever sound isolation mounts that, in most cases, eliminate the need for third-party additions. Rear panel equalization settings accommodates most environments. 5

Luis	17/06/2024
[110 dB] Yes, Genelec are pricey and yet, it's difficult to compare them to any other studio monitor. The clarity and consistency of their reproduction is overwhelming. I notice now details in songs I heard for many years, that I never noticed before. Highly recommended. 5

Kyle	09/06/2024
[28 lb (12.7 kg)] I bought a pair of these to use with a guitar amp simulator. They sound great and allow for getting the amplifier and effects tone without having to crank up the volume to concert levels. 5

Ivan	05/06/2024
[36.35 lb] Upgraded from 8040A with auto stand by feature. Practically the same. Very sturdy. Great for tracking (recording) and editing but not for mixing (as with any near-field out there) 5

Brian	03/06/2024
[120W] Buy it. You won't regret it. For playback these are wonderful. Sounds so clear and for well produced/mixed music you hear everything. Vice versa for things that aren't. You hear everything. I still use headphones to properly mix/edit with. 5
