The smallest of "The Ones"

The Genelec 8331 RAW is the smallest model in the "The Ones" series, in which the Finnish manufacturer focuses on active three-way studio monitors with a coaxial design. This construction offers not only extremely precise imaging and a wide sweet spot, but also very compact dimensions. In fact, the 8331 RAW is closer in size to a compact two-way system, yet it is packed with advanced digital technology. Whether used in stereo operation or in larger immersive formats, multiple monitors can be networked and controlled via the accompanying GLM software (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager). The separately available GLM set, consisting of a network adapter and a measurement microphone, enables automatic calibration of the speakers using DSP-based SAM technology (Smart Active Monitor).

Intelligent design

The studio monitors in the "The Ones" series combine a coaxial midrange and tweeter unit with two oval woofers, which are concealed behind the front baffle that incorporates a large waveguide. The two woofers are positioned symmetrically around the coaxial element and behave acoustically like a single large woofer. As the smallest model in the series, the 8331 RAW delivers a total output power of 144W, provided by three Class D amplifiers for the bass (72W), midrange (36W), and tweeter (36W). With a maximum output of 104dB SPL and a frequency response of 58Hz to 20kHz (at +/-1.5 dB), the 8331 RAW offers impressive performance for such a compact monitor. An adjustable IsoPod for horizontal and vertical placement is included in the scope of delivery. Suitable wall or ceiling mounts and stand adapters are available separately.

Networked monitoring system

The Genelec 8331 RAW is an excellent choice for professional users seeking a highly compact, extremely precise three-way nearfield monitor. With its remarkably small dimensions of just 305 × 189 × 212mm, the individually sold 8331 RAW is ideal not only for smaller control rooms but also for mobile applications. In theory, up to 80 speakers can be networked using the supplied RJ45 cables. The accompanying GLM software ensures that the entire system is adapted to the acoustics of the respective room (GLM set required), aligning level, frequency response, and time-of-flight differences. Alternatively, a simpler set of sound controls is available at the rear of the device for operation without software or networking.

About Genelec

Genelec was founded in 1976 by Ilpo Martikainen. It grew from a family business into one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional studio and broadcasting loudspeakers. To this day, Genelec's loudspeakers are manufactured exclusively in Finland. Genelec offers performance-oriented, neutral-sounding loudspeakers and subwoofer systems for audio professionals and sound enthusiasts, and a combination of innovative technology and design ensure that the range of products is continuously improving. The company is committed to sustainable development and environmental awareness. In 2018, Genelec was awarded the Pro Sound "Company of the Year" award. Genelec speakers are favourites of such recording industry veterans as Obie O'Brien, Michael Carnes, and David Reitzas, as well as of producers like Hardwell, Keith Ross, and Vini Vici.

Ideal for constructing immersive systems

Genelec's "The Ones" series from Genelec uses a sophisticated internal DSP system for filters, limiters, and further signal processing. The XLR input of the Genelec 8331 RAW can be switched between analogue input and AES/EBU digital input, with the latter supporting resolutions of up to 192kHz. In addition, a purely digital AES/EBU output is provided at the rear of the device to loop the signal to additional speakers. The Genelec 8331 RAW pairs perfectly with a digital subwoofer from the 7300 series. For larger immersive monitoring systems, multiple 8331 RAW monitors can, for example, be combined with several 8330 two-way monitors used as surround or overhead speakers.

Schicke Arbeitswerkzeuge auf höchstem Niveau!

Lexxø Skullz 15.10.2025

Ich habe vergangenes Jahr den Schritt vom Genelec 8030 zu den "Ones" gemacht. Nach dem Einmessen per GLM und dem ersten Hören eines Referenz-Tracks war ich sprachlos was aus den kleinen Monitoren raus kommt. Alles wirkt plastischer, ist präzise im Panorama ortbar und lässt sich fürs Hören, Mixing super bewerten. Selbst die Wiedergabe der tiefen Frequenzen geht meistens ohne Subwoofer unproblematisch und der Sweet Spot ist extrem weit. Beste Investition der letzten Jahre. Der Hersteller weiß was er tut.
