Styled in a finish dubbed “producer” by its manufacturers, the Genelec 8341A is a point-source monitor designed for near-field applications in professional audio environments. With a coaxial design that integrates the driver, tweeter, and two 6.6″ woofers into one unit, the 8341A ensures alignment of their acoustical axes for precise sound radiation. Additionally, the 8341A features Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology, which automatically detects and adapts to either analog or digital inputs, making it versatile for various setups.

The included Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software offers further customization, allowing users to fine-tune the monitor to their specific room acoustics and manage multiple monitors more efficiently. The monitor comes equipped with RJ45 ports for GLM connectivity and an XLR output for daisy-chaining signals. For standalone usage, it includes DIP switches and a rotary control for adjusting levels, along with a reflex port for enhancing low-end frequency response. An Iso-Pod stand is provided to isolate the monitor from undesirable surface vibrations.

The Genelec 8341A also boasts features such as acoustically concealed woofers, minimum diffraction coaxial construction, and a proprietary waveguide to deliver superior sound clarity and directionality. These elements are elaborated upon in the features section below.
