The Genelec 8361A SAM Studio Monitor is the flagship model of The Ones Series, delivering the most advanced acoustic performance ever achieved in a professional monitor. Combining immense power, extraordinary clarity, and pinpoint imaging, the Genelec 8361A provides a truly immersive and fatigue-free listening experience. Its coaxial Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) driver design and dual concealed woofers produce a perfectly coherent sound field, allowing accurate monitoring across a wide range of listening distances up to five metres.
Built for absolute precision, the Genelec 8361A integrates Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) and GLM calibration technologies, enabling automatic optimisation of the monitor to its acoustic environment. This ensures perfect phase alignment, smooth frequency response, and consistent performance, even in acoustically challenging rooms. The result is a system that supports faster, more confident mix decisions while maintaining pristine sonic detail.
With a frequency response extending from 30 Hz to 43 kHz and a maximum SPL of 118 dB, the Genelec 8361A delivers both full-range power and the highest degree of accuracy in its class. Each driver is powered by its own dedicated Class D amplifier, 700 W for bass, 150 W for midrange, and 150 W for treble, ensuring dynamic control and minimal distortion at any level. The robust cabinet, featuring Genelec’s distinctive rounded form and Iso-Pod isolation system, minimises diffraction and mechanical vibration for uncompromised monitoring.
Winner of Sound On Sound’s Highly Commended Award, the Genelec 8361A is the ultimate choice for professional studios requiring precise, natural, and adaptable reference monitoring in stereo or immersive setups.
