On prominent display was the recently introduced 8380A three-way midfield SAM™ Main Monitor, the newest addition to Genelec’s The Main Ones family. Engineered for precise imaging, neutral reproduction, and high-SPL performance, the 8380A is ideal for medium-sized control rooms in recording, mixing, and mastering, as well as premium home audio environments.

Inside our demo room we had a fully calibrated Smart Active Monitoring immersive system featuring 8380A as left and right channels, a 8361A paired with a W371A woofer system for the center, four 8351Bs for surrounds, four 8341As for overheads, and two 7380A subwoofers.

We had 3D Masterclasses and special presentations by John Hanes, Alan Meyerson, Andrew Scheps, Bob Clearmountain, Richard Chycki, Sylvia Massy, Carlos Rodgarman, Will Borza, Alex Gamble, Monte Nickels & Jim Ruberto (Tippet Rise Arts Center), Ulrike Schwarz, Ophir Paz & Michael Ducassoux (United States Marine Band), and Vilius Keras & Aleksandra Kerienė (Baltic Mobile AV).
