detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic pow-
ering 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 front 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 dissipa-
tion for the amplifiers. Locating the reflex
port to the back of the enclosure allows a
generously dimensioned reflex port for mini-
mal 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 direc-
tivity. This results in a smoother overall fre-
quency response on and off axis. In addition,
the improved directivity control causes more
direct sound and less reflected sound to be
received at the listening position, providing
improved imaging and reducing the effects of
differing control room acoustics. The DCW™
improves the drive unit sensitivity by +2 to +6
dB (depending on the particular application),
thus also increasing the available system
maximum sound pressure level.
Mounting
The 8030B 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 8030B is guaranteed for a period of two
years against faults in materials or workman-
ship.
