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 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
Table 1: Suggested tone control settings for diering acoustical environments.
Bass Tilt
Bass Tilt oers three attenuation levels for the bass
response below 1 kHz, usually necessary when the
loudspeakers are placed near room boundaries.
The attenuation levels are -2 dB (switch 4 “ON”), -4
dB (switch 5 “ON”) and -6 dB (both switches “ON”).
The factory setting for all tone controls is
“OFF” to give a at anechoic response. Always
start adjustment by setting all switches to “OFF”
position. Measure or listen systematically through
the dierent combinations of settings to nd the
best frequency balance.
Mounting considerations
Align the loudspeakers correctly
Always place the loudspeakers so that their
acoustic axes (see gure 1) are aimed towards the
listening position. Vertical placement is preferable,
as it minimises acoustical cancellation problems
around the crossover frequency.
Maintain symmetry
Check that the loudspeakers are placed
symmetrically and at an equal distance from the
listening position. If possible, place the system so
that the listening position is on the centerline of the
room and the loudspeakers are placed at an equal
distance from the centerline.
Minimise reections
Acoustic reflections from objects close to the
loudspeakers like desks, cabinets, computer
monitors etc. can cause unwanted blurring of the
sound image. These can be minimised by placing
the loudspeaker clear of reflective surfaces. For
instance, putting the loudspeakers on stands behind
and above the mixing console usually gives a better
result than placing them on the meter bridge.
Minimum clearances
Sucient cooling for the amplier and functioning
of the reflex port must be ensured if the
loudspeaker is installed in a restricted space such
as a cabinet or integrated into a wall structure.
The surroundings of the loudspeaker must always
be open to the listening room with a minimum
clearance of 5 centimeters (2”) behind, above
and on both sides of the loudspeaker. The space
adjacent to the amplier must either be ventilated
or suciently large to dissipate heat so that the
ambient temperature does not rise above 35
degrees Celsius (95°F).

Mounting options
The 8030C oers several mounting options: The
Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™)
vibration insulating table stand allows tilting of the
loudspeaker for correct alignment of the acoustic
axis. The stand can be attached to three mounting
points allowing vertical and symmetrical horizontal
positioning. On the base of the loudspeaker is
a 3/8” UNC threaded hole compatible with a
standard microphone stand. On the rear there are
two M6x10 mm threaded holes for Omnimount®
size 20.5 brackets.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are to be found within
the amplier unit. Any maintenance or repair of the
8030C unit should only be undertaken by qualied
service personnel.
Safety considerations
Although the 8030C has been designed in
accordance with international safety standards,
the following warnings and cautions should be
observed to ensure safe operation and to maintain
the loudspeaker under safe operating conditions:
• Servicing and adjustment must only be
performed by qualied service personnel. The
loudspeaker must not be opened.
• Do not use this product with an unearthed
mains cable as this may compromise electrical
safety.
• Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or
moisture. Do not place any objects lled with
liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or
near it.
• This loudspeaker is capable of producing
sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which
may cause permanent hearing damage.
• Free ow of air behind the loudspeaker is
necessary to maintain sucient cooling. Do not
obstruct airow around the loudspeaker.
• Note that the amplier is not completely
disconnected from the AC mains service unless
the mains power cord is removed from the
amplier or the mains outlet.

miseksi. Säätö tehdään kaiuttimen takapaneelissa
olevien ”Desktop”, “Treble Tilt”-, “Bass Roll-O”- ja
“Bass Tilt”-kytkimien avulla. Kaikki säädöt asetetaan tehtaalla asentoon “OFF”, mikä antaa tasaisen
taajuusvasteen kaiuttomassa tilassa. Säätöjen vaikutus toistovasteeseen on esitetty kuvassa 4.
Suosittelemme akustisen mittausjärjestelmän
käyttöä kaiuttimien säätämisessä. Ellei tällaista
ole käytettävissä, säätö voidaan tehdä myös kor-
vakuulolta sopivia testiäänitteitä ja -signaaleja
hyväksikäyttäen. Taulukko 1 sisältää muutamia
suuntaa-antavia säätöesimerkkejä. Kaiuttimien
kanttitoistoa 4 kHz:n yläpuolella 2 dB, mitä voidaan
käyttää liian kirkkaalta tuntuvan toiston korjaami-
seen.
Bass Roll-O
Bass Roll-O-säätö kytkee -4 dB:n vaimennuksen
matalille bassotaajuuksille. Tätä voidaan käyttää
esimerkiksi kaiutinta lähellä olevien rajapintojen
aiheuttaman korostuneen bassotoiston kompen-
soimiseen.
Bass Tilt
Bass Tilt-säädön avulla voidaan vaimentaa kaiut-
timen bassotoistoa 1 kHz:n alapuolella. Tämä on
usein tarpeen, kun kaiutin sijoitetaan lähelle seinää
tai muuta rajapintaa. Vaimennustasoja on kolme: -2
dB (kytkin 4 “ON”), -4 dB (kytkin 5 “ON”) ja -6 dB
(kytkimet 4 ja 5 “ON”).
Kaiuttimien sijoitus
Kohdista kuuntelupisteeseen
Suuntaa kaiuttimet kuuntelualueen keskipistee-
seen pään korkeudelle. Suuntaus on tehty oikein,
kun kaikkien kaiuttimien akustiset akselit (kuva 1)
leikkaavat kuuntelupisteessä. Kaiuttimet kannattaa
sijoittaa pystyasentoon, sillä se minimoi vaihevir-
heet jakotaajuudella.
Sijoita symmetrisesti
Sijoita kaiuttimet samalle etäisyydelle kuuntelu-
pisteestä ja mahdollisimman symmetrisesti sekä
toistensa, että huoneen rajapintojen suhteen. Tämä
toteutuu, kun kuuntelupiste on huoneen keskilin-
jalla ja kaiuttimet sijoitetaan symmetrisesti keskilin-
jan suhteen.
Minimoi heijastukset
Kaiuttimen lähellä sijaitsevista esineistä ja pinnoista
tulevat akustiset heijastukset voivat aiheuttaa tois-
12 Suomi
ton värittymistä ja sumentaa äänikuvaa. Tämä
kannattaa ottaa huomioon kaiuttimia sijoitettaessa
ja mahdollisuuksien mukaan siirtää heijastuksia
aiheuttavat tietokoneen näytöt, kaapit tms. pois
kaiuttimien läheltä ja sijoittaa kaiuttimet niin, että ne
ovat kauempana jäljelle jäävistä heijastuksia aiheut-
tavista pinnoista. Tarkkailukaiuttimia ei esimerkiksi
kannata sijoittaa äänipöydän päälle, vaan riittävän
korkeille lattiajalustoille äänipöydän taakse, josta ne
voidaan suunnata alas äänitarkkailijaa kohti.
Vähimmäisetäisyydet
Vahvistimien jäähdytyksen ja reeksiputken toimin-
nan takaamiseksi pitää kaiuttimien taakse, sivuille
ja päälle jäädä kuunteluhuoneeseen avautuva,
vähintään viiden senttimetrin vapaatila. Kaiutinta
ei saa käyttää tilassa, jonka lämpötila on yli 35° C.
Virheellisestä käytöstä saattaa kuitenkin seurata
vaaratilanne, joten seuraavia ohjeita on aina nou-
datettava:
• Laitetta ei saa asettaa alttiiksi kosteudelle
tai roiskevedelle. Se on tarkoitettu
käytettäväksi ainoastaan kuivassa
huonetilassa.
• Huolto- ja korjaustoimia saa suorittaa vain
valmistajan valtuuttama huoltohenkilöstö.
• Älä avaa kaiutinkoteloa tai irrota laitteesta
mitään osia.
• Laitteen saa kytkeä ainoastaan
maadoitettuun pistorasiaan.
• Huomaa, että vahvistin ei ole täysin
jännitteetön ellei virtajohtoa ole irrotettu
pistokkeesta.
Pöytäjalusta ja kiinnitysmahdollisuudet
Kaiuttimien mukana toimitettava Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™ (Iso-Pod™)-jalusta mahdollistaa kaiuttimen kallistamisen ylä- tai alaviistoon.
Jalusta voidaan kiinnittää myös kaiutinkotelon
pitkille sivuille, jos kaiuttimet halutaan sijoittaa
vaaka-asentoon. (kuva 3).
Genelec 8030C voidaan kiinnittää Omnimount®
