Information on the disposal of old devices

Acoustic adjustment included

The Genelec 8050 BPM is an active two-way studio monitor that delivers the first-class sound producers the world over have come to expect from the Finnish manufacturer. With its signature, stylish housing produced from lightweight die-cast aluminium, this model features two separate amplifiers with a total output of 270W, driving the 8" woofer and 1" tweeter to deliver sound pressure levels of up to 120dB SPL per stereo pair. In addition to its automatic start function, this speaker also allows the frequency response to be adjusted to the room's acoustic conditions. A balanced XLR input allows signals to be fed in without interference, while a protective circuit prevents driver damage by intercepting short-term level peaks. Magnetic shielding is also included as standard.

Impressive range of features

With a frequency range from 38Hz to 20kHz, the Genelec 8050 BPM delivers impressive low-end performance for a compact monitor. To achieve this, the speaker uses bass reflex technology, which maximises low-frequency sound pressure and extends the driver transmission range. For adjustment to room conditions, both the bass and treble levels can be reduced in four different dB steps, or the bass can be rolled off completely. When the monitor is placed on a reflective surface, activating the Desktop Control function helps prevent frequencies between 160 and 200Hz from becoming overly pronounced. The (deactivatable) automatic start function detects whether a signal is present and automatically switches the amplifier unit on as required. This makes the speaker easy to operate and helps save energy.

For the discerning listener

Anyone looking for a monitor speaker with a flat frequency response and a spacious, three-dimensional sound will not be disappointed by the Genelec 8050 BPM. As this device doesn't include a volume control, it's best suited for studio setups where the listening level is adjusted via an external monitor controller. If playback remains consistently too loud or too quiet, the speaker's sensitivity can be adjusted using a small rotary control. For recording and mixing professionals who rely on consistently high-quality sound, the 8050 is an excellent choice, with its housing materials and shape also contributing hugely to the overall sound audio image – they minimise resonance and ensure optimal sound dispersion in multi-speaker setups.

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.

Ideal for stereo and surround setups

Whether in a professional studio, home setup, or project studio, the Genelec 8050 BPM delivers outstanding results thanks to its flat frequency response and room-adaptation features. It can be used not only as part of a stereo set, but also as a component in a surround setup. Genelec also offers a suitable subwoofer for this purpose – the Genelec 7050CPM (article no. 447252). When used on resonant surfaces such as a desk or stand, the integrated IsoPod comes into play, decoupling the speaker from its support surface using a combination of rubber feet and connecting bars. Multiple threaded inserts at the rear of the housing provide secure mounting. Genelec also supplies suitable mounting accessories, such as the Genelec 24499 Truss Mount Kit (article no. 370883).

Great sound in media room

Anonymous 05.06.2016

I am using 8050 in a living room type 4.2 setup. Currently without dedicated center channel.
Sound is very detailed and with good scale.
Genelec dip switches allow adjustment to environment. In my case I use treble tilt -2dB.

Super Gesamtpaket!

Guidmo 20.12.2014

Anwendung: Home HIFI.

Auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten aktiven Lautsprecher für zu Hause, fiel meine Wahl auf die Genelec 8050 BPM. Abhörentfernung ca.1,8m. Warum?
Features:
+ automatische Ein- & Abschaltung
+ mehrere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten
+ Schutzgitter & Alu-Gehäuse
+ Waveguide & Design
+ AB-Amps & Ortsfilter
+ kein Eigenrauschen wahrnehmbar

2. Klang
+ super Durchhörbarkeit
+ differenzierte & knackige Bassperformance
+ sehr gute Klangbalance
- Mitten könnten etwas präsenter sein

3. Verarbeitung
+ perfekt & über jeden Zweifel erhaben

4. Preisleistungsverhältnis
+ für unter 1200€ / Stk. überragend

Fazit: In der Preisklasse bis 2500€ das Paar für mich der Best-Buy & wegen der aufgezählten Features fiel die Entscheidung klar zu Gunsten der Genelecs aus.
Ich bin rundum zufrieden!

Un classique du futur

Laurend 24.11.2022

Le coffret acoustiquement optimisé en aluminium est bien loin des boites en bois anguleuses. L'amplification est silencieuse en classe AB bien loin des propositions en classe D qui offrent le pire comme le meilleur. Enfin, et c'est cohérent avec le reste, il n'y a pas d'optimisation ni de filtrage DSP. Ce produit intégralement analogique présente des caractéristiques impeccables sans recours à aucun artifice de traitement. C'est un classique indémodable facile à placer qui descend bien bas grace à son grave de 20 cm de diamètre, et qui peut produire un niveau important même dans 50 m3.
