Stunning looks and a crystal-clear sound

The 8020 RAW, developed by the distinguished loudspeaker manufacturer Genelec, is an active nearfield studio monitor that offers a top-quality and reliable reference sound for all audio applications. This model is the flagship of the Finnish company’s product range and combines high-calibre acoustic properties with an equally attractive design. The 8020’s uniquely even frequency response and excellent spatial representation are partly achieved thanks to its highly innovative die-cast aluminium cabinet with rounded edges and slightly curved front and side surfaces. The design was created in collaboration with Finland’s Harri Koskinen, one of Europe’s best-known product and furniture designers.

A sophisticated design for enhanced performance

In contrast with passive monitors, the speakers of the 8020 are driven by built-in amplifiers, with no filtering components in between. The advantage of this design is that the drivers can be specifically tailored to the characteristics of the monitor chassis. The 8020’s large interior volume gives it an enhanced bass response, while the shape of the aluminium housing suppresses unwanted wall resonance and the special housing contours ensure the correct wave guidance for controlled sound diffusion. The surprisingly even frequency response is achieved here by maximising the surface area, and the flow-oriented bass reflex channel serves to increase the sound pressure reserves and extend the transmission range.

For a wide range of applications

No matter what environment the 8020 finds itself in, the switchable filters on the rear panel of the speaker will optimise its audio performance to best suit the location. Both drivers are magnetically shielded, a characteristic shared by all Genelec monitors, and even when driven at high volumes they cause little to no distortion. The included rubber iso pad provides a secure anti-resonant support, thus making unwanted colouring of the sound by the transmission of vibrations a thing of the past. Furthermore, this base also allows exact positioning of the speaker. A wall bracket is additionally included, which can be used to mount the speaker at the desired height.

About Genelec

Genelec was founded in 1976 by Ilpo Martikainen. It grew from a family business into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of professional studio and broadcasting loudspeakers. To this day, Genelec’s loudspeakers are manufactured exclusively in Finland. Genelec offers performance-oriented, neutral-sounding loudspeakers and subwoofer systems for audio professionals and sound enthusiasts, and a combination of innovative technology and design ensure that the range of products is continuously improving. The company is committed to sustainable development and environmental awareness. In 2018, Genelec was awarded the Pro Sound "Company of the Year" award. Genelec speakers are favourites of such recording industry veterans as Obie O'Brien, Michael Carnes, and David Reitzas, as well as of producers like Hardwell, Keith Ross, and Vini Vici.

An excellent sound in any configuration

No matter what the setup – whether traditional stereo, surround sound, or even 3D audio – Genelec products will always feature among the best monitoring choices thanks to their precise dispersion, reliable sound, and versatile mounting options. An impressive surround sound configuration can be created by combining five 8020s with a suitable subwoofer like the Genelec 7040 APM. The two front speakers should be placed at 30° angles to the listener here, with the centre speaker placed directly in front of him/her, while the rear surround speakers should be rotated at a 110° angle and placed at roughly one metre from the listening position. For a classic “stereo triangle”, the two monitors should be placed at a 60° angle to the listener. For a 3D audio configuration, a second layer of monitors transmitting down from the ceiling is required. This type of setup requires a minimum of four speakers.

I am happy to own this monitors
Sobotage 02.01.2023
There was an enormous choice of pro monitors, multiple, multiple listened (mid-high price range), pages of read reviews, and video reviews.
This one fits best after all.
Plus RAW design is what I am looking for in my interior style, so this is a total match.

....der Studiomonitor für kleine Studios!!!
FETENHAUS 23.10.2023
Am 12.Oktober 23 machten wir uns auf den Weg, um bei Thomann paar Sachen einzukaufen. Uns war es wichtig auch mal paar Sachen live auszuprobieren, bei Thomann angekommen und ab in die Studioabteilung....ein Wahnsinn was da alles für Studio-Boxen zu ausprobieren stand. Unsere Auserwählte war leider nicht mit angeschlossen, aber kein Problem ein netter Kollege aus der Studioabteilung holte uns das gewünschte Boxen-Paar und brachte es zu klingen! Wir waren sehr gegeistert von diesen Mini-Boxen, die doch so einen satten und perfekten Raumklang erzeugten.
Also wir haben sie in der Farbe "Rohaluminium" gekauft und am nächsten Tag bei uns installiert......wir sind wahnsinnig begeistert von den Boxen und natürlich auch von Thomann, was wiedermal ein ausgesprochen schönes Erlebnis war.

Ehrlich, edel und überraschend erwachsen
Achim1 28.05.2025
Ich habe mir die Genelec 8020 RAW als Zweitabhöre für Zu Hause und wegen ihres kompromisslos ehrlichen Klangs geholt – und genau das liefern sie auch. Die Auflösung ist trotz der Größe gut.

Was den Bass angeht: Natürlich haut einem bei der Größe kein Subwoofer-artiger Druck die Haare nach hinten – und das ist absolut logisch und ist Physik. Aber gerade das macht die Boxen so sympathisch. Der Bass ist da, präzise, trocken und angenehm definiert – eben nicht künstlich aufgeblasen, sondern so wie er sein sollte: ehrlich.
Vielleicht täusche ich mich aber es wirkt, als ob gerade in der Größenordnung, es noch mehr auffällt, wenn der Raum nicht behandelt ist, da kein "Honig ins Ohr" schmierender Bass Reflexionen und Moden weich kloppt.

Ein echtes Highlight ist das Gehäuse in der RAW-Variante. Die gebürstete Aluminium-Oberfläche sieht einfach richtig geil aus. Industriell, aber edel – ein echter Hingucker auf dem Schreibtisch oder im Studio. Dazu kommt die Verarbeitung: massiv, hochwertig, kein Plastikgefühl. Man merkt sofort: Das ist kein Spielzeug, sondern Profiwerkzeug mit Stil.

Fazit: Wer ein Paar kompakte Monitore mit neutralem Klangbild sucht, auf aufgeblasenen Bass verzichten kann und dabei auch noch Wert auf Design und Haptik legt, wird mit den Genelec 8020 RAW mehr als glücklich.

(Wenn doch mit Bass = Sub dazu)
