The Genelec 8331APM Professional Studio Monitor is a extraordinary monitoring solution that delivers incredible imaging with an extended frequency response. The wide array of cutting-edge technology that the 8331APM hosts deliver an elite point source monitor. For faster and more consistent production decision making, whilst allowing you to work for extended durations whilst remaining fatigue-free, the 8331APM is the ultimate choice. Featuring Genelec's innovative and advanced SAM system technology, these monitors make the best of your environment, allowing you to use the GLM application and its auto-calibration function to compensate for detrimental room influence and delay. Combined with Genelec's astonishing MDC driver technology, and immersive ACW design, the 8331APM Professional Studio Monitor is truly unsurpassed.
Smart Active Monitor Systems
Genelec's intelligent SAM systems are one of today's most advanced and flexible monitoring systems, and the 8331APM builds on that system. Capable of automatically adapting to the acoustic environments the monitors are used in, the SAM system can correct levels, delays, and room anomalies. SAM systems can be controlled via Genelec's GLM network and software, enabling you to take advantage of an astonishingly flexible and reliable monitoring system. Genelec's SAM systems offer a comprehensive, solution-oriented, and intelligently networked range that supports both analog and digital signals in practically any work environment.
Minimum Diffraction Coaxial Driver Technology
The 8331APM features Genelec's revolutionary MDC technology which benefits from typical coaxial design advantages, whilst also overcoming their shortages at the same time. To minimize displacement of the cone and avoid all sources of diffractions, the MDC design consists of an integrated MF diaphragm-suspension-tweeter construction. This method creates a smooth surface with no acoustically observable discontinuities between the tweeter and the cone, preventing diffraction. A carefully optimized cone profile forms an integrated Directivity Control Waveguide for the tweeter radiation. Thanks to this technology, the 8331APM has exceptionally smooth response both on and off-axis whilst being free from anomalies, with well controlled directivity.
Acousitcally Concealed Woofers
The Acoustically Concealed Woofers in the 8331APM radiate through slots located at both ends of the enclosure. The positions of the two woofers in the 8331APM's three-way system extend the coaxial acoustical radiation concept towards low frequencies. When two woofers are used, seperated by a calculated distance, the two woofers behave acoustically like a single giant woofer spanning the distance between the two. This also extends the control of the directivity to low frequencies along the largest front baffle dimension. Genelec's ACW technology makes these woofer openings and drivers acoustically invisible to the acoustical radiation from the MDC driver responsible for the midrange and tweeter frequencies. This technology enables the construction of a physically compact monitor, whilst behaving as if it was a much larger system.
Iso-Pod Stand
The innovative Iso-Pod stand from Genelec solves a huge list of problems that can occur when finding the best position for your monitors. It attaches to the aluminium enclosure of your Genelec 8331APM, providing excellent stability and isolation for your monitor. It has four shallow feet and is made from a specialized rubber-like material, and allows for a +/-15 degree tilt of the loudspeaker. This allows the unit to be pointed precisely towards the listened by adjusting the enclosure's inclination with the Iso-Pod. The isolation and damping properties reduce midrange colouration caused by undesirable vibrations being transferred to supporting surfaces. The Iso-Pod provides astonishing benefits in both usability and sound quality.
Minimum Diffraction Enclosure
The design of the Genelec 8331APM's enclosure is optimized to match the properties of the monitor drivers. Featuring rounded edges with gently curved front and sides, the innovative MDE technology achieves unsurpassed flatness of the frequency response alongside having minimum diffractions for superb sound stage imaging qualities. The elegantly curved enclosure reduces the outer dimensions of the unit, whilst maximising the internal volume for improved low frequency efficiency. The cabinet is made from die-cast aluminium, which is lightweight and stiff whilst being incredibly easy to dampen for a "dead" structure. Thanks to aluminium's natural characteristics, the cabinet walls can be made quite thin whilst retaining astounding durability alongside excellent EMC shielding and heat sink capabilities for the amplifiers.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
