When it comes to studio monitors, Genelec has long been synonymous with unyielding accuracy and innovation. The new 8380A SAM™ Main Monitor, part of the esteemed Main Ones Monitor Series alongside the flagship 8381A, takes this legacy to new heights. Engineered for truth, the 8380A combines a pinpoint-precise coaxial driver, a commanding 15-inch woofer, and intelligent room adaptation to deliver neutral, fatigue-free sound reproduction that’s as suited for professional studios as it is for the most discerning high-fidelity listening rooms. For 2025, this three-way monitor sets a new benchmark for power, performance, and precision.

Uncompromising Accuracy Across the Spectrum

The 8380A is designed to reveal every nuance of your audio with breathtaking clarity. At its core is a coaxial driverthat ensures pinpoint imaging and phase coherence, paired with a robust 15-inch woofer that delivers deep, controlled bass and exceptional dynamics. With a high SPL capability, this monitor fills medium-to-large studios and listening spaces with a full-bodied, enveloping sonic experience that remains uncolored and true to the source.

What sets the 8380A apart is its wide sweet spot, achieved through time-aligned, level-calibrated playback. Whether you’re mixing at a console or enjoying music from a relaxed listening position, the monitor’s pristine imaging and stable soundstage allow you to perceive every detail with confidence. Remarkably, this holds true even at a minimum recommended listening distance of just 1.3 meters (4.25 ft), making it versatile for a range of setups. And with self-generated noise completely silent at the listening position, nothing stands between you and the music.

Intelligent Design, Seamless Integration

The 8380A is more than a monitor it’s a cornerstone of Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) ecosystem. Equipped with intelligent room adaptation, it optimizes performance to suit your space, ensuring consistent sound whether mounted vertically or horizontally. This adaptability extends to its compatibility with the broader UNIO Ecosystem, allowing you to scale your setup from stereo to immersive audio with ease. Excellent directivity and phase matching with other SAM™ monitors make the 8380A a flexible choice for any professional application.

For those upgrading from older Genelec models like the 1038A, 1038B, or 1238A, the 8380A is a seamless fit. Its dimensions and the updated, silently cooled RAM-L2 amplifier match those of its predecessors, simplifying direct upgrades, including in flush-mounted installations where the amplifier is remotely mounted. This thoughtful engineering ensures that integrating the 8380A into existing systems is as effortless as its sound is extraordinary.

Built for the Long Haul

True to Genelec’s ethos, the 8380A is crafted with sustainability at its core. Manufactured at the company’s factory in Iisalmi, Finland, it adheres to the highest environmental standards, with maximal repairability and a decades-long lifespan built in. This is a monitor designed not just for today’s sessions but for years of flawless performance, backed by Genelec’s reputation for durability and precision craftsmanship.

A Monitor That Redefines Listening

Whether you’re a studio engineer making critical mixing decisions or an audiophile seeking unadulterated sound, the 8380A delivers. Its ability to handle high-resolution audio with exceptional dynamics and zero listening fatigue makes it a standout in any professional or high-end listening environment. From the delicate shimmer of a cymbal to the visceral punch of a kick drum, every element is rendered with clarity and depth, inviting you to dive deeper into your music or mix. The Genelec 8380A SAM™ Main Monitor isn’t just a tool it’s a gateway to experiencing audio as it was meant to be heard. For those who demand truth in sound, this is the monitor to beat in 2025.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
