3. 8010A GENELEC Operating Manual 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 Dif fraction Enclosure enclosure is made of die cast aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diffraction Combined with the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide DCW this design provides excel lent frequency balance in difficult acoustic environ ments If necessary the bass response of 8010A can be extended with a Genelec subwoofer Packing contents Each 8010A is supplied with a mains cable and this operating manual 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 8010A Active Monitoring System Minimise reflections Acoustic reflections from objects close to the moni tors li
