Part of the Genelec Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) Series, the two-way active Genelec 8430A IP SAM ™ Studio Monitor is the first standalone speaker to support monitoring audio-over-IP streams (up to 96kHz sample rates) using AES67 and RAVENNA standards.
The 8430A shares the line’s electro-acoustic features such as Genelec MDE ™ and DCW ™ technologies with a flow-optimized reflex port, very low distortion at high SPL and wide bandwidth. The 8430A Studio Monitor connects to the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM ™ 2.0) control network for monitor setup and AutoCal ™ for optimum level, timing and acoustic room response correction.
Powered by two Class-D amplifiers, 50-watts for the 5-inch woofer and 50-watts for the 3⁄4-inch dome tweeter, maximum SPL is 104dB. The 8430A has input jacks for XLR balanced analog plus RJ45 jacks for audio-over-IP streams, and GLM control network connections.
The 8430As are $1,099 MSRP each plus the SAM User Kit ($495) for the GLM/AutoCal control.
