Genelec8020D 4in Monitor

Genelec 8020D

The Genelec 8020D is a compact yet powerful 4" studio reference monitor known for its enduring legacy as a irreplaceable tool for sound engineers worldwide. A reliable reference is crucial when sculpting a mix, and there's a reason the 8020D is trusted by so many. It provides a staggeringly flat frequency response— all the way from 56 Hz to 25 kHz— perfect for getting a truly accurate picture of your sound, with next to no coloration. It offers a max SPL of 100db, with 50 W Class D bass and treble amplifiers. It features Genelec's Intelligent Signal Sensing auto-start function, leaving the speaker in a low-power bypass mode (consuming only 0.5 watts when idle) until it detects an incoming signal, in which it will quickly switch over to its regular operating mode.

While the 8020D is a trusted utility in studios and classrooms across the globe, its equally as useful in home-recording environments. It includes several Tone Control settings for adjusting bass and treble responses to perfectly fit whatever acoustic environment you find yourself in. The Desktop 200 Hz mode specifically compensates for the buildup of 200Hz that frequently accrues when a speaker is set on top of a reflective surface, such as a table or desk. The Treble Tilt control attenuates everything above 5kHz, which is particularly useful for tampering down bright acoustic spaces, while the Bass Tilt feature is useful when the speaker is placed against a wall or other room boundaries, attenuating the bass frequencies by -2db, -4db, or -6db when both modes are engaged. The Bass Roll-Off mode applies a -4db filter to the lowest frequencies (around 65hz) to compensate for particularly boom-y rooms. The 8020D also includes a Sensitivity control for adjusting the overall output level of your signal, including -6db, -3db, 0db, +2db, +4db and +6db modes. If you're looking for a reliable and compact reference monitor that's trusted by professionals everywhere, it's hard to beat the pedigree of Genelec's 8020D.
