General description
The bi-amplied GENELEC 8030C is a two way
active monitoring loudspeaker designed to be small
but still have high output, low coloration, and broad
bandwidth.
The 8030C is ideal for near eld 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 amplifiers, active
crossover filters and protection circuitry. The
MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™)
loudspeaker enclosure is made of die-cast
aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diraction.
Combined with the advanced Directivity Control
WaveguideTM (DCWTM), this design provides
excellent frequency balance in dicult acoustic
environments. If necessary, the bass response
of the 8030C can be extended with a suitable
Genelec subwoofer.
Positioning the loudspeaker
Each 8030C monitor is supplied with an integrated
amplifier 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).
8030C
Active Monitoring System
an unearthed mains supply or using an unearthed
mains cable.
Audio input is via a 10 kOhm balanced female
XLR connector labelled “INPUT”. An unbalanced
source may be used as long as pin 3 is grounded
to pin 1 at the unbalanced source connector (see
Figure 2).
Once the connections have been made, the
loudspeakers are ready to be switched on.
ISSTM autostart function
The automatic power saving function ISS (Intelligent
Signal Sensing) can be activated by setting the
“ISS” switch on the back panel to “ON.” 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. 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 “OFF.” In this mode, the monitor is
powered on and o using the power switch on the
back panel.
Connections
Connect the audio cables first and the mains
power cables only after you have completed the
audio cabling. Do not connect the loudspeaker to

Setting the sensitivity control
The input sensitivity of the loudspeaker can be
matched to the output of the audio signal source by
adjusting the sensitivity control on the back panel.

Setting the tone controls
The frequency response of the 8030C can be
adjusted to match the acoustic environment by
setting the tone control switches on the rear panel.
The controls are “Desktop”, “Treble Tilt”, “Bass Tilt”
and “Bass Roll-O”. An acoustic measuring system
is recommended for analyzing the eects of the
adjustments, however, careful listening with suitable
test recordings can also lead to good results if a
test system is not available. Table 1 shows some
typical settings in various situations. Figure 4 shows
the eect of the controls on the anechoic response.
Desktop
The desktop low frequency control (Switch 1)
attenuates the bass frequencies around 160 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 reective surface.
Treble Tilt
Treble Tilt (switch 2) attenuates the treble response
above 4 kHz by 2 dB, which can be used for
smoothening down an excessively bright sounding
system.
Bass Roll-O
Bass Roll-O (switch 3) activates a -4 dB lter to
the lowest bass frequencies (55 Hz). This can be
used for compensating excessively heavy bass
reproduction typically caused by loudspeaker
placement near room boundaries.
