Genelec 8331 AP SAM Studio Monitor (single)

Studio monitors are essential when it comes to mixing and mastering and standard models normally have a separate tweeter and woofer. Coaxial studio monitors, like Genelec's 8331AP SAM on the other hand, have their tweeter and woofer in the same place which offers certain advantages. For starters, they can be placed vertically or horizontally without it having any effect on the sound and because everything is in the same place, there's no difference in phase between components either.

The 8331AP SAM has two woofers, a tweeter and a midrange speaker that combine to offer a well-defined sound with outstanding detail. One of the most impressive features on the 8331AP is its SAM (Smart Active Monitor) technology which automatically calibrates the monitor to the surrounding environment giving you the most neutral sound possible. If you're looking for a top-quality coaxial studio monitor to help you make perfect mixes, the Genelec 8331 AP SAM is for you.
