The Genelec 8361A is a current-production, three-way Smart Active Monitor (SAM) from Genelec’s ‘The Ones’ family. It uses a Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) midrange/tweeter assembly combined with dual concealed oval bass drivers and Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide technology to provide point-source-like imaging, controlled directivity and high output for main-monitor, mastering, music-production, broadcast and high-end listening applications. It is tri-amplified, accepts balanced analogue and AES/EBU digital sources, and supports room calibration, monitor control and system integration through Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) networking.
