The smallest in the 8000 series, with Genelec DNA
Designed as the most compact of the 8000 family, the 8010 incorporates the features that made Genelec renowned: molded aluminum enclosure, carefully designed waveguide, and tight tolerances for a "colorless" listening experience. Its purpose is clear: to deliver the Genelec signature wherever space is limited, without sacrificing the neutrality or reliability expected in a studio environment.
Who is it for and what are its uses?
The 8010 is aimed at mobile creators, videographers, podcasters, and home studios seeking a pair of highly portable nearfield monitors. Perfect for dialogue control, effects, and tonal balance at close range, it excels as a main system in compact setups or as a secondary reference listening option in more ambitious environments.
Precision and flexibility for everyday use
Despite its mini size, the 8010 delivers a stable stereo image, a consistent response from 74 Hz to 20 kHz (+/-2.5 dB), and an impressive peak level for its size. The adaptation switches help maintain clean bass near a wall or screen, while the included Iso-Pod optimizes the listening angle and limits vibration transmission to furniture. The XLR input ensures a professional direct connection from your audio interface, and the auto-start function facilitates use in installations or on the go.

Very good proximity speaker when working at home. It helps a lot to have a good balance when mixing in a home studio. I switched the speaker to minus 10 db to not have a too aggressive sound. I highly recommend this speaker for those who work from home..
