Genelec 8331AP SAM Coaxial Monitor

The TEC award-winning Genelec 8331AP SAM is a surprisingly compact and powerful 3-way point-source (coaxial) monitor that eliminates both physical and crossover phase anomalies, delivering an astoundingly detailed soundstage whether horizontally or vertically oriented - Producer Grey (P).  The smallest of the Genelec 8300 series, the 8331A combines the wide-bandwidth and very low-distortion sound reproduction of 3-way active designs with the holy grail of monitor technology, the coaxial, or point-source driver configuration. However, these technologies present some problems to overcome, particularly in small rooms, where the 8331A is designed for. While a 3-way system is great for midfield and main monitors, it's not practical in a small room. Apart from the size requirements, the unpredictability of small-room acoustics* renders 3-way systems unreliable in space-limited control rooms. The other monitor configuration, and even more significant is point-source or coaxial technology. It'
