The New 8260A Three-Way DSP Loudspeaker System

with Minimum Diffraction Coaxial

(MDC™) Technology

Masterpiece In Electro-Acoustic Design

Genelec 8260A features major advances in audio driver

technology integrated to a sophisticated enclosure design.

Genelec MDC™ Minimum Diffraction Coaxial Mid/High

driver technology takes a big step in perfecting audio quality

in professional active studio monitors. This breakthrough in

coaxial driver design provides extremely accurate imaging

and improved sound quality both on the acoustical axis as well

as off-axis. The extremely smooth frequency response leads

to outstanding clarity and deﬁnition of the inner details of the

music. The 8260A combines, for the ﬁrst time, a coaxial driver

(MDC™) with a modern Directivity Control Waveguide™

technology (DCW™), ensuring drivers to couple coherently

over their full operating bandwidth, as well as creating

coincident mid-frequency/high-frequency point source.

Designed To Adapt

As a new member of the TEC (Technical Excellence and

Creativity) Award-winning 8200 Series, the 8260A features

Genelec DSP digital signal processing responsible for all

loudspeaker functions, such as the crossover ﬁlters, driver

equalizers, driver position alignment, room response alignment,

calibration, and equalization related ﬁlters as well as distance

compensating delays. The Genelec Loudspeaker Manager™

(GLM™) software manages all these functions allowing the

8260A to be used together with other 8200 Series DSP monitors

and 7200 Series subwoofers in the same setup. Genelec

AutoCal™ automated room calibration and sound system

alignment method provides consistent and accurate frequency

response for a multichannel audio system in widely varying room

environments. The GLM™ software kit is available separately.

The 8260A is housed in a die-cast aluminium Minimum

Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™) with acoustically optimized

rounded edges to prevent diffractions and yielding superb sound

stage imaging. Of course, the robust enclosure is also completely

immune to vibrations.

MDE™ –Minimum Diffraction

Enclosure

In order to improve frequency and power

responses, Genelec has designed a

rugged enclosure, featuring acoustically

optimized rounded edges and gently

curved front and sides. In addition to

unsurpassed frequency response, the

minimized cabinet edge diffraction yields

superb imaging qualities.

MDC™ –Minimum Diffraction

Coaxial driver

The midrange driver cone forms a

smooth, continuous surface between the

tweeter and the enclosure. This prevents

acoustical diffractions. Diffractions are a

major cause of uneven high frequency

response in traditional coaxial drivers.

The smooth midrange surface contributes

to a perfect DCW™ behavior. The treble

and midrange drivers couple coherently

over their full operating bandwidths as a

single coincident point source.

Genelec 8200 Series DSP Technology

The sophisticated acoustical design of the 8260A is complemented by Genelec DSP

Technology and GLM™ software, providing powerful and practical tools such as AutoCal™

for accurate alignment, calibration and control of the monitoring system in all situations.

Advanced Genelec DCW™

The innovative DCW™ is formed by

blending the new MDC™ surface

perfectly with the enclosure front

shape to provide extremely accurate

control of the speaker’s directivity. This

acoustically optimized smooth DCW™

shape is integrated in the enclosure

and is maximized in area to achieve an

astoundingly ﬂat on-axis and off-axis

frequency response.

Startling New Design

Genelec has history of unexpected innovations. Our

approach is basically simple: solve the problems by

eliminating their root causes.

Coaxial drivers have existed for tens of years in two-

way designs but are uncommon in three-way systems,

where they would reproduce mid and high frequencies.

Typical to all current coaxial designs is somewhat ragged

frequency response due to inherent diffraction problems.

Nevertheless, crossover issues due to non-coincident

location of sources are often solved with traditional coaxial

conﬁgurations. Here lay the seeds of Genelec’s Minimum

Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) solution: while it beneﬁts from

typical coaxial design advantages, it now overcomes the

serious shortages as well.

Elimination of Acoustical Discontinuities

The main structure of the MDC™ tweeter-midrange

coaxial design consists of an integrated midrange

diaphragm-suspension-tweeter. The visible part of the

coaxial driver is formed by a cone with a ﬂexible foam

curved to support the radiation of the tweeter in its center.

The inner section joins the cone to the tweeter without any

acoustical discontinuity, and the outer one does the same

between the cone and the driver chassis. As there are

no acoustically observable discontinuities between the

tweeter and the cone, just a smooth surface, there is no

diffraction either.The cone proﬁle is very carefully optimized

to form an integrated directivity control waveguide for the

tweeter radiation. The driver outer edge is terminated to

an advanced DCW™ waveguide in order to control the

dispersion of midrange radiation as well.

This breakthrough in coaxial design provides improved

imaging and extremely smooth frequency response both

on and off-axis, leading to outstanding clarity and deﬁnition

of the inner details of the music.

The Powerful

Genelec DSP

Genelec 8260A and other 8200 and 7200 Series

loudspeaker systems have an independent dedicated

DSP signal processing engine in each loudspeaker. All

AES/EBU digital audio formats are supported, as well as

standard line level analog signals. The 8200/7200 Series

accepts sampling rates ranging from 32 kHz to 192 kHz.

Up to 30 loudspeakers and subwoofers can be connected

on, set up and controlled with GLM™ control network over

standard CAT5 cabling. Genelec Loudspeaker Manager™

(GLM™) is a computer software providing full real-time

control of all aspects of all loudspeakers on the network.

Fast And Easy Calibration With AutoCal™

AutoCal™ is a fully automated loudspeaker system alignment

algorithm within GLM™ software. It sets levels, distance

compensating delays, phase (for subwoofers) and room

response equalization using a factory-calibrated Genelec

measurement microphone included in the GLM™ software

kit. SinglePoint™ and MultiPoint™ microphone locations

for one, two, or three-person mixing environments can be

selected. The Interactive Response Editor provides visual

readout of measured and corrected response curves as

well as full manual editing of all acoustical settings.

All functions and settings are stored in GLM™ System

Setup Files or directly into each loudspeaker. As the

control network is separate from the audio cabling, the

control network can be dismantled and moved to another

place after saving the settings into the loudspeakers.

Furthermore, the 8200 Series loudspeakers retain all the

features and beneﬁts of Genelec 8000 Series products and

can be used independently of the GLM™ control network.

The New Genelec 8260A Three-Way DSP Loudspeaker System is a masterpiece in electro-

acoustic system thinking where mechanical, acoustical and signal processing designs are intimately linked

together. The revolutionary MDC™ coaxial driver design eliminates all acoustical discontinuities and the

integrated structure with the aluminium enclosure and waveguide provides exceptional clarity and sound stage

imaging. Combining the beneﬁts of a coaxial driver seamlessly with directivity control and including a fully

automated calibration process with GLM™ and AutoCal™ results in a true breaktrough in audio monitoring.
