General description
The bi-amplified Genelec 8010A is an extremely
compact two-way active monitoring loudspeaker
designed for professional applications. It contains
drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover filters
and protection circuitry. The MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™) enclosure is made of die-cast
aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diffraction.
Combined with the advanced Directivity Control

can be extended with a Genelec subwoofer.

Mounting considerations
Align the monitors correctly
Always place monitors so that their acoustic axes
converge at ear height at the listening position (see
Figures 1 and 2). Vertical orientation of monitors is
preferred, as it minimises acoustical cancellation
problems around the crossover frequency.
Maintain symmetry
Check that the monitors are placed symmetrically
and at equal distance from the listening position.
If possible, place the monitors so that the listening
position is on the centerline of the room and the
monitors are at an equal distance from the room
centerline.
Active Monitoring System
Minimise reflections
Acoustic reflections from objects close to the monitors, like desks, cabinets, computer monitors etc.
can cause unwanted colouration and blurring of the
sound image. These reflections can be minimised
by placing the monitor away from such surfaces.
Minimum clearances
If the monitor is installed in a restricted space such
as a cabinet or integrated into a wall structure, sufficient cooling for the amplifier and functioning of the
reflex port must be ensured.
A minimum clearance of 2.5 centimeters (1 in)
behind, above and on sides of the monitor must be
found. The space adjacent to the amplifier must either be ventilated or sufficiently large to dissipate
heat so that the ambient temperature does not rise
above 35 degrees Celsius (95°F)
Connections
Connect the mains cables only after you have completed connecting audio signal cabling.
The 8010A has a balanced XLR 7 kOhm audio input connector. It can also be connected to
an unbalanced RCA line level audio source with
a suitable adapter cable your Genelec dealer can
provide. As the 8010A contains amplifiers, no
power amplifier is needed. Never connect 8010A
to the loudspeaker outputs of a power amplifier,
integrated amplifier, or receiver.
When all audio connections are completed, connect the monitors to mains with the supplied mains
cables. They will switch on automatically.
