help Genelec 8050B FAQ
Is the Genelec 8050B a coaxial monitor?
No, the 8050B is not one of Genelec's coaxial The Ones models. It is an active 2-way monitor with a 205 mm bass driver and a 25 mm metal-dome tweeter.
How large of a room suits the Genelec 8050B?
Genelec positions the 8050B for larger rooms and longer listening distances than smaller 8030 or 8040 models. Its peak output is listed at at least 120 dB per pair at 1 meter, so it has far more headroom than a small desktop monitor.
What inputs does the Genelec 8050B use?
The 8050B uses a balanced analog XLR input, which is standard in professional studios. It is an active monitor, so each speaker needs power and does not connect to a passive hi-fi amplifier.
How deep does the Genelec 8050B go without a subwoofer?
Genelec lists the 8050B at 38 Hz to 20 kHz within plus or minus 2 dB, with a 32 Hz low cutoff at -6 dB. That is enough low end for many mixing rooms, though film work and club-oriented electronic music may still justify a Genelec subwoofer.
