Genelec 8341AM SAM Coaxial Monitor

8341AM SAM Coaxial Monitor The Genelec 8341A 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 - Black finish (M).  There are two studio monitor configurations that are reputed to offer the greatest advantages to engineers. The first is the 3-way active design, which offers wide-bandwidth sound reproduction with very low distortion. However, as studio real estate shrinks while rents skyrocket, a big 3-way system is 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 technology. It's not a new idea, but until Genelec put its collective mind to it, point-source monitors were mostly just that, an idea, and one with
