There is a slight delay in the automatic
powering up. If this is undesirable, the ISS
TM
function can be disabled by setting the “ISS
DISABLE” switch on the back panel to “ON”
position. In this mode, the monitor is powered
on and off using the power switch on the back
panel.
MDE™ and DCW™
Technologies
The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™
(MDE™) Technology increases the perfor-
mance of the Genelec 8000 Series loud-
speakers by minimizing edge diffraction and
improving frequency and power response.
The edges of the enclosure are rounded and
blend seamlessly into the enlarged Directiv-
ity Control Waveguide™. Surface disconti-
nuities that cause diffraction are minimized.
The curved walls of the die-cast aluminium
enclosure are thin but rigid, allowing maxi-
mum internal volume while also providing
improved EMC shielding and heat dissipation
for the amplifiers. Locating the reflex port to
the back of the enclosure allows a generously
dimensioned reflex port for minimal port noise
and excellent bass articulation while freeing
the front baffle for an enlarged and optimized
DCW™.
The advanced DCW™ is designed to
match the performance of the drivers in
terms of both frequency response and
directivity. This results in a smoother overall
frequency response on and off axis. In addi-
tion, the improved directivity control causes
more direct sound and less reflected sound
to be received at the listening position, pro-
viding improved imaging and reducing the
effects of differing control room acoustics.
The DCW™ improves the drive unit sen-
sitivity by +2 to +6 dB (depending on the
particular application), thus also increasing
the available system maximum sound pres-
sure level.
Mounting
The 8020C offers several mounting options:
The vibration insulating Isolation Positioner/
Decoupler™ (Iso-Pod™) table stand allows
tilting the speaker for correct alignment of the
acoustic axis. The stand can be attached to
three mounting points allowing vertical and
symmetrical horizontal positioning. On the
base of the monitor is a 3/8” UNC threaded
hole which can accommodate a standard
microphone stand. On the rear there are
two M6x10 mm threaded holes for an Omni-
mount
®
size 20.5 bracket.
Guarantee
The 8020C is guaranteed for a period of two
years against faults in materials or workman-
ship.
