Genelec 8351 - Review LOOK INTO

[@DJURBANBG]

Have someone compared them to the Barefoot 01 ? tnx

Try sonarworks room calibration, I use genelec 8040a. And it's amazing

[@RedStoneProductions]

Thanks for your comment! I have used the Sonarworks in Studio 1 at SAE Amsterdam and it's a good system (besides the usual latency). The Genelec Ones series (reviewed here) have a coaxial design plus DSP built-in and they play in a different league compared to the trusty 8040 + sonarworks room calibration. Nonetheless a pretty good monitoring setup!

Damn never thought I could! I have the 8040B's I will be definitely looking into that.

Glm is way better

[@classiccoke6360]

@@itconnects6693 In what way? Quite a few examples where published results show identical performance when it comes to frequency response.

[@stevenswall]

Why is it not correcting everything to flat? There seems to be a ton of smoothing with the blue line, and I want the green line (corrected response) to be perfectly flat. Looks like it needs +8dB at 120hz, +4dB at 150Hz, and so on.

[@RedStoneProductions]

Hi Steven thanks for your comment. Unfortunately at the moment it is not possible to fully address an acoustic issues with the room with any DSP system. In order to have a perfectly flat line more acoustic treatment is necessary.

[@McSlobo]

Just guessing... If you want to make a correction to an audio signal before playing it with speakers you first have to completely (mathematically) analyze a short period of the signal. Modification, DA conversion and forwarding it to the amplifier can only happen after that. This introduces latency and which might be problematic in audio production environment where these speakers are meant to be placed. It's not a problem at home while listening to music but it would be with movies The more accurate you want corrections to be the longer it takes to apply them i.e. the more samples the filters need to analyze before outputting anything. Therefore I assume mathematically simpler filters which introduce less latency but are not 100% pefrect are being used. You have to remember that every time you switch your position or move your coffee cup slightly you're practically altering the listening environment which means the calibration will never be perfect anyways so it's just pure insanity to try to go beyond a certain point.

The dips are cacellations that can’t be boosted. If you boost, you will also boost the reflection that is cancelling the direct sound. Lots of wasted power and possibly weird sound to ear.

Thanks a lot for the video. I like so much these speakers and the coaxial driver and its waveguide are just marvelous. Love the concept immensely ... still I do not understand why to cover the emitting surface of woofers ... i would leave them visible 100% ... maybe just with a protecting grille ? and last .. drivers must be circular ... this would be a must for me. If tweeters and midranges are circular why woofers should not be the same ? Regards, gino

[@gino3286]

@CHARLES 13X thanks for the kind reply they must sound amazing

[@KahviVelho]

gino Worth noting that they work with function over form. I’m going to confidently say the engineers at Genelec must’ve chosen the “racetrack” style woofers and the wave guide/baffle here for a good reason. Whatever they’ve done they sure as hell did it well. Having heard the 8351s I can safely they’re some of the best speakers I’ve had the privilege of trying out. Now if only I could afford them...

excellent video.
