8380A is a member of the Main Ones family alongside the larger 8381A. Designed for precise imaging and neutral sound reproduction, the 8380A is ideal for high sound pressure level applications in medium to large size control rooms, professional recording, mixing and mastering as well as premium home audio environments.

8380A offers exceptional dynamics, huge headroom and SPL capability, and extremely low self-noise. Providing accurate time-aligned playback and unparalleled directivity control, the 8380A’s power is matched by its precision. Stable imaging and phase coherence enables fatigue-free listening during long sessions and even at close listening distances. 8380A users can experience consistent, uncolored clarity, giving the confidence to trust every detail at any playback level.

Enhance Your Main Monitoring

Joining our flagship 8381A in The Main Ones Monitor Series, the adaptive three-way 8380A SAM™ Main Monitor is here to ensure every detail of audio can be perceived truthfully in any medium or large sized studio or listening room.

Like the 8381A, the 8380A advances the main monitoring experience with its unique blend of coaxial technology, meticulous acoustical design and intelligent room adaption, offering you easier access to maximal accuracy across the full audible spectrum.

Sense Every Detail of Audio

Dive deep into the texture of your sound in high resolution – and flexibly decide your listening position – with time-aligned, level-calibrated playback over a wide sweet spot, and a full-body, enveloping sonic experience driven by the monitor's large 15-inch woofer.

Mix with absolute confidence, taking advantage of pristine, stable imaging, phase coherence and exceptional dynamics – all without listening fatigue. Whether mounted vertically or horizontally, you get consistent, uncolored clarity you can rely on to help you make the right choices, even at the minimum recommended listening distance of 1.3 metres (4.25 ft). And with self-generated noise completely silent at the listening position, every nuance of audio is unmasked.

Easily Create Your Ideal System

Excellent directivity and phase matching with our entire Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) range – and compatibility with the wider UNIO Ecosystem – is assured. This allows you to flexibly build and scale-up your monitoring system to suit any professional audio application, from stereo to immersive, with the benefit of intelligent room adaption and flexible personalization.

The dimensions of the 8380A and its updated, silently cooled RAM-L2 amplifier are identical to those of our 1038A, 1038B and 1238A monitors and RAM-L amplifier, making direct upgrade easy, including in flush-mounted applications where the amplifier is mounted remotely.

As with all Genelec monitors, the 8380A is manufactured to the highest sustainability standards at our factory in Iisalmi, Finland – with maximal repairability and a decades-long lifespan built in.
