Genelec 8030C Dark Grey — single monitor

The Genelec 8030C is a powered two-way studio monitor supplied here as one dark-grey loudspeaker. Its 130 mm bass driver and 19 mm treble driver are powered by individual 50 W Class D amplifier stages. The die-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure uses rounded edges, while the Directivity Control Waveguide helps shape the monitor’s dispersion around the listening position.

The manufacturer publishes −6 dB frequency limits of 47 Hz and 25 kHz, with response accuracy of ±2 dB over the narrower 54 Hz to 20 kHz range. Its balanced XLR input connects to appropriate recording interfaces, mixers or monitor controllers. Built-in amplification means a separate speaker power amplifier is not required.

Room-compensation controls allow the response to be adjusted for placement, and Intelligent Signal Sensing supports automatic standby. The included Iso-Pod support provides isolation and angle adjustment. This is the C generation, confirmed by the product-bound listing and rear model label rather than inferred from the abbreviated 8030 page title. The 299 mm overall height includes the Iso-Pod; a stereo monitoring system requires two units.
