The 8361A is a coaxial point source monitor with high dynamic range, directivity and imaging, and SPL of 118 dB. It adapts to your space with GLM calibration software and offers an exquisite monitoring experience for small to medium sized rooms.
Nov 12, 2021 · 243,278. Location. Seattle Area. Nov 12, 2021. #1. This is a review and detailed measurements of the Genelc 8361A studio monitor (powered active speaker). It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $4,995. The 8361A looks identical to the rest of the series except massively scaled up:
Thanks to its ACW (Acoustically Concealed Woofer) design, the 8361A offers the kind of broad sweet spot engineers here at Sweetwater look for, while Genelec's unique DCW (Directivity Control Waveguide) delivers precision stereo imaging.

But if you really want to hear the music as it was recorded, why not use the same equipment that the sound engineers actually sit and turn the sound on? Yes, I’m talking about studio speakers. Also known as studio monitors. The disadvantage of many studio monitors is that they are small and quite low in power, and thus unsuitable as speakers in a n...
Genelec itself claims that all their speakers have the same sound image and sound quality. What separates the smallest and cheapest from the largest and most expensive is simply bass response and power. But we know that a more powerful hi-fi system often sounds bigger and more effortless even at lower noise levels. And moreover, that deeper and lou...
Which brings us to the Genelec 8361A. A pair of well-grown active studio monitors of 1,000 watts, made for larger studios where it is not enough with a couple of small dwarf monitors. But Genelec also wants to meet the needs of technicians looking for a pair of near-field monitors with deeper bass and greater dynamic surplus than those found in the...
Genelec has therefore developed the speaker series The Ones, which are speakers that work just as well at close range. These are three-way coaxial speakers with bass, midrange and treble mounted on the same axis. The treble element is in the middle of the midrange, which in turn has two bass elements behind it. These are mounted on an extra baffle ...
Such a coaxial speaker has two obvious advantages. First, you have a real point source, where all frequency ranges come from the exact same axis. No matter where the listener is in relation to the speakers. This gives the same frequency response regardless of whether you are sitting half or ten meters away. Depending on the room, of course. Secondl...
The all-new 8361A is the largest model in The Ones series. This is a direct successor to Genelec’s very first and largest coaxial three-way speaker, the now ten-year-old 8260A. Which I loved when I tested it in 2010, and which does just as well today as then. It really was something special. The 8260A did not have the coaxial placement of the 10-in...
Where the predecessor 8260A used a 150 watt amplifier for the bass element, the power has now increased to 700 watts! The total power is a whole kilowatt… As a result, the maximum sound pressure has increased by 5 dB, from 113 to 118 dB! Still with surplus to the worst transients, where you have another 6 dB available. To achieve this, the 8361A ha...
8361A are large, heavy and look quite vulgar as near field monitors on the desk. I can still imagine some technicians will use them like this, and when you fire up the music I have no problem understanding why. On the contrary! For the makan of explosiveness! I currently have no audio source with AES / EBU digital input, but instead use the coaxial...
The memories from the 8260A come back with a bang, and I sit and stare at how correctly the speakers sound, but at the same time be able to get everything that is fun. When you talk about speakers that sound correct, you can quickly believe that it sounds boring. And, yes, I realize I’m the billionth person to make that joke. But watch the James Bo...
Genelec has nevertheless taken into account that not all sound people or music lovers have an equally good starting point. Neither when talking the acoustics in the room, nor the surface the speakers are on. If they are on a reasoning desk with hollow drawers, it will give a different sound than if the speakers are on racks. Even if they stand on r...

The 8361A is a Minimum Diffraction Coaxial (MDC) design. The 1″ dome tweeter is positioned in the center of a 5″ cone midrange driver.
Apr 15, 2021 · The 8361 is the largest of the The Ones series. Compared to its siblings it is physically large (approx 23”x12”13”) and heavy (just over 30KGs) but in spite of its size being close to that of a large midfield monitor, its performance is closer to a main monitor.
