Description

The Genelec 8330ARW is a compact but powerful Smart Active Monitor (SAM™) in a distinctive raw aluminium finish, designed for audio professionals who need precision, adaptability, and room calibration in a small-footprint speaker. With a frequency response of 45 Hz to 23 kHz (-6 dB) and a maximum SPL of 104 dB, it delivers transparent, uncoloured sound ideal for critical monitoring in stereo, surround, or immersive formats.

Inside its rugged die-cast aluminium enclosure, the 8330ARW features a 130 mm woofer and a 19 mm metal dome tweeter, each driven by a dedicated 50 W Class D amplifier. As part of Genelec’s SAM™ series, it integrates seamlessly with GLM™ (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software, allowing automatic room calibration, level alignment, and precise delay/time-of-flight compensation. Combined with Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) and Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) technologies, it provides consistent, wide sweet-spot performance in even the most challenging rooms.

The 8330ARW offers flexible I/O, including analog XLR, AES/EBU digital input and output, and two RJ45 ports for networked control. It also includes the Iso-Pod™ stand for isolation and flexible positioning, as well as Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) for energy-efficient operation. Compact, intelligent, and built to last, the 8330ARW is a perfect choice for mobile or fixed professional setups demanding smart, reference-grade monitoring.
