A Flagship Model in the Coaxial Family, Designed to Scale Up
The Genelec 8351B belongs to a lineage of monitors known for their ability to "disappear" in favor of the audio content. In the spirit of the 8331A and 8341A, it continues this approach focused on imaging, neutrality, and phase coherence, but with a broader ambition: to offer more bass and a higher maximum SPL to maintain precise playback in larger control rooms or when the listening position is farther away. This "B" version emphasizes improved HF response, equalized delay, and additional room compensation options to ensure reliable translation from one system to another, from mono work to immersive configurations.Who It's For and What It's For: Mixing, Post-Production, and Fatigue-Free Immersive Listening
The 8351B is aimed at sound engineers, producers, sound designers, and post-production studios who demand analytical listening that remains comfortable over long periods. By reducing "unnatural" imaging artifacts, the monitor helps limit auditory fatigue during extended sessions while making placement, equalization, and dynamic decisions faster and more consistent. Its ability to deliver high levels combined with extended low-frequency response makes it an excellent choice for nearfield listening as well as moderate distance listening, especially when precise judgment of bass foundation, depth of field, and center stability is required.For challenging environments (untreated rooms, placement constraints, asymmetries), the combination of internal DSP and GLM calibration allows the system to adapt to the reality of the control room. The goal is simple: to achieve a more consistent response at the listening position and decisions that "translate" better across other speakers, headphones, cars, and playback systems.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Genelec 8351B suitable for a medium-sized control room?
With a maximum SPL of 113 dB and a stated frequency response of 32 Hz to 43 kHz (-6 dB), this monitor is designed to maintain precision as the listening distance increases. Its 3-way design meets the needs of mixing, post-production, and immersive setups.
What connectivity is available on this Genelec speaker?
The analog input is via XLR, while digital signals can be handled through AES/EBU input and output on XLR. Two RJ45 ports enable integration into the GLM control and calibration network.
Can the 8351B be calibrated according to the room?
The internal DSP works with the GLM software to adapt the monitor's response to resonances and placement effects. Built-in room compensation equalizers and delay equalization are included.
Can the monitor be placed horizontally?
It can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on the available space and multichannel configuration. The coaxial design aligns the midrange and tweeter on the same acoustic axis.
What power and dimensions does the Genelec 8351B have?
The total amplification power is stated at 550 W, including 250 W Class D for the woofer. Dimensions with Iso-Pod are 452 x 287 x 278 mm (H x W x D), with a weight of 14.3 kg. The universal power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
