GENELEC 8050B
Detail and transparency
The 8050B represents a class-leading balance of extraordinary SPL output, expansive dynamic range and an intensely detailed, transparent performance. With superb directivity and a wide sweet spot, you're free to move position and still trust what you're hearing.
Mixes that translate
With its neutral performance and ability to adapt to your room via simple rear-panel room compensation switches, the 8050B ensures a flat playback response to help you really analyse the spectral balance of a recording and produce mixes that always translate reliably.
