A Directivity Control Waveguide helps widen the imaging and the rounded edging helps reduce secondary reflections and flatten the overall frequency response. Other technologies include a dual woofer setup where the bass driver is effectively split into two to surround the mid and tweeter which helps it deliver a bigger bass response as its surface area is increased. They feature the company's famous coaxial design where the tweeter sits on the woofer, which helps widen the sweet spot by reducing phase issues between drivers. The 8341s sit in the middle of the range and are ideal for small to medium studios.
Genelec have been at the forefront of monitoring technology for decades and The Ones very much represent all of the company's best developments. +Coaxial design for greater sweet spot +SAM active monitoring self-calibration system +Can be mounted horizontally or vertically The best high-end studio monitors available today Monitors may also be designed with a wider sweet spot in mind, that being the ideal place where you sit to hear the perfect response from both the left and right speakers.įinally, speakers may even come with room correction technology which measures your studio room's impact on their sound, and recalibrates the speaker frequency response to take into account the room and still deliver accurate results – it's high-end thinking at a high-end price. The speaker's cabinet may be made of a more expensive material to help deliver less distortion and a faster transient response, which helps with the overall accuracy and perception of your music.
Most of our choices are three-way designs although we have included a couple of two-way options that still deliver the goods. 3-way speakers add a mid-range driver to deliver a more joined up frequency response, but that driver adds to the cost. 2-way are usually cheaper, having just a bass (woofer) and treble (tweeter) speaker or driver built in. Studio monitors tend to come in 2-way or 3-way designs. Three speakers are (usually) better than two The smaller this is, the better (look for something around 3dB or less). There will also often be a +/- variation figure in dB at the end, which indicates a possible variation in signal level over that range. The frequency stats will be quoted with the lower Hz and upper kHz figure and – broadly speaking – the wider this is the better. If there is a bump or dip in this response, that means they are over- or under-performing in that area which means you will adversely mix in that range. The frequency response of a set of monitors simply measures how much signal they deliver in dB over the frequency range of human hearing which is 20Hz to 2kHz (although many speakers go beyond this).
And talking of that frequency response, not only do you want this flat, but also as wide as possible and for it to exhibit no wobble.
