10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features

  • Class-leading transparency with ultra-wide frequency response

Genelec 8050B Professional Studio Monitor, Black (Single) Overview

View this description in Portuguese

The Genelec 8050B Professional Studio Monitor is built for critical listening in professional studios, broadcast environments, and production spaces. The 8050B features an 8-inch bass driver and a 1-inch metal dome tweeter, each powered by dedicated amplifiers for clean, high-precision sound reproduction.


The 8050B offers a wide frequency range of 38 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring clarity across lows, mids, and highs. The Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) technology provides even sound dispersion, reducing reflections and improving stereo imaging. The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) minimises resonance, maintaining a neutral sound profile suited for professional applications.


Customisable tone controls allow precise tuning to suit different environments. The Iso-Pod stand isolates the monitor from vibrations and enables flexible positioning, while an Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) function saves energy by automatically switching the monitor to standby mode when no audio signal is detected.

Accurate and powerful sound

The Genelec 8050B is engineered to provide highly detailed and reliable monitoring. Its frequency response spans from 38 Hz to 20 kHz, covering deep lows, clear mids, and crisp highs. A bi-amplified system delivers 150W to the bass driver and 120W to the tweeter, ensuring dynamic and distortion-free playback at all volumes. This makes it ideal for tasks that require precision, such as mixing, mastering, and post-production.

The active crossover system ensures a smooth frequency transition between the drivers, reducing phase issues and providing balanced sound reproduction. This consistency makes it easier to detect subtle changes in a mix, which is essential for professional audio engineers and producers working on detailed projects.

Consistent sound across the listening area

The Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) ensures that the 8050B delivers even sound dispersion, maintaining accuracy across different listening positions. This technology reduces unwanted reflections, improving stereo imaging and making it easier to place instruments and vocals in a mix. Combined with the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™), which reduces cabinet-induced distortion, the 8050B provides a stable and transparent soundstage.

The monitor’s off-axis response remains consistent, allowing for accurate monitoring even when moving around the room. This is particularly beneficial for studios where multiple people need to evaluate a mix from different positions.

Flexible tuning for any environment

Acoustic conditions can vary significantly, but the 8050B includes a range of adjustable tone controls to optimise performance. Bass tilt and bass roll-off controls allow fine-tuning of low-frequency response, helping to address issues caused by room boundaries or reflective surfaces. The treble tilt control refines high-frequency output, ensuring that the monitor maintains a balanced sound regardless of its placement.

A dedicated desktop low-frequency control compensates for bass buildup when the monitor is placed on a reflective surface like a desk or mixing console. These features make the 8050B adaptable to different room types, from well-treated studios to more challenging acoustic spaces.

Built for durability and energy efficiency

The 8050B’s aluminium enclosure is designed for durability while keeping the overall unit lightweight. The rear-mounted reflex port improves bass efficiency and minimises turbulence, ensuring smooth low-frequency performance even at high volumes. The Iso-Pod stand isolates the monitor from vibrations and allows precise angle adjustments for the best listening position.

For added efficiency, the Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) function reduces power consumption by automatically switching the monitor to standby mode when no audio signal is detected. This feature ensures that power is only used when necessary, making the 8050B an energy-conscious choice for professional studios.
