8020D Active Monitoring System Operating Manual

General description

The bi-amplied GENELEC 8020D is a compact two way

active monitoring loudspeaker designed for near field

monitoring, mobile vans, broadcast and TV control rooms,

surround sound systems, home studios, multimedia

applications and also for use with computer soundcards. As an active loudspeaker, it contains drivers, power ampliers, active crossover lters and protection circuitry.

The MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™)

loudspeaker enclosure is made of die-cast aluminium and

shaped to reduce edge diffraction. Combined with the advanced Directivity Control WaveguideTM (DCWTM), this

design provides excellent frequency balance in difficult

acoustic environments. If necessary, the bass response of the 8020D can be extended with a Genelec subwoofer.

Positioning the loudspeaker

Each 8020D is supplied with an integrated amplier unit, mains cable and an operating manual. After unpacking, place

the loudspeaker in its required listening position, taking note

of the line of the acoustic axis. The axes of all loudspeakers

should converge at ear height at the listening position (see

Figure 1).

Connections

Before connecting up, ensure that the loudspeakers and the

signal source have been switched o. The power switch of the 8020D is located on the back panel (see Figure 3). Connect the loudspeaker to an earthed mains connection with the supplied mains cable. Never connect the loudspeaker to an unearthed mains supply or using an unearthed mains cable. The mains input accepts a wide range of voltages: 100-240

V AC 50-60 Hz.

Audio input is via a 10 kOhm balanced female XLR

connector. An unbalanced source may be used as long

as pin 3 is grounded to pin 1 at the unbalanced source

connector (see Figure 2). Never connect the 8020D to the loudspeaker outputs of a power amplier or an integrated amplier or receiver.

Once the connections have been made, the

loudspeakers are ready to be switched on.

ISSTM autostart function

When the power switch and the “ISS” switch on the back panel of the loudspeaker are set to “ON”, the Intelligent

Signal SensingTM (ISSTM) autostart function of the 8020D

is active. Automatic powering down to standby mode happens after a certain time when playback has ended. The power consumption in standby mode is typically less than

0.5 watts. The playback will automatically resume once an input signal is detected from the source.

There is a slight delay in the automatic powering up. If this is undesirable, the ISSTM function can be disabled by setting the “ISS” switch on the back panel to the “OFF” position. In this mode, the monitor is powered on and o using the power switch on the back panel.

Sensitivity control

The input sensitivity of the 8020D can be matched to the

output of the signal source by adjusting the rotary sensitivity

control on the back panel.

adjusted to match the acoustic environment by setting the

tone control switches on the rear panel. The controls are “Desktop 200 Hz”, “Treble Tilt”, “Bass Tilt” and “Bass RollO”. An acoustic measuring system is recommended for analyzing the eects of the adjustments, however, careful listening with suitable test recordings can also lead to good results. Table 1 shows some examples of typical settings in various situations. Figure 4 shows the eect of the controls on the anechoic response.

Desktop 200 Hz

The desktop low frequency control (Switch 2) attenuates the bass frequencies around 200 Hz by 4 dB. This feature is

designed to compensate for the boost often occurring at

this frequency range when the loudspeaker is placed upon a meter bridge, table or similar reective surface.

Iso-Pod™TABLE

Treble Tilt

reble Tilt control (switch 3) attenuates the treble response of the loudspeaker at frequencies above 5 kHz by 2 dB, which can be used for smoothening down an excessively bright sounding system.

Bass Tilt

Bass Tilt control offers three attenuation levels

for the bass response of the loudspeaker below 2 kHz, usually necessary when the loudspeakers are placed near a wall or other room boundaries. The attenuation levels are -2 dB (switch 6 “ON”), -4 dB (switch 7 “ON”) and -6 dB (both switches “ON”).

Bass Roll-O

Bass Roll-O (switch 4) activates a -4 dB lter to the lowest bass frequencies (65 Hz). This can be used for compensating
