User's Manual

Maintain Symmetry
Place the monitors at an equal distance from
the listening position and symmetrically relative
to the room walls. Place the listening position
on the room front-back centreline and the moni-
tors at an equal distance from this centreline.
Minimise Reections
Acoustic reflections are created by objects
close to the monitors. Such objects can be
desks, cabinets, computer monitors etc.
Acoustic reections can cause unwanted sound
colouration and sound image instability. These
can be minimised by placing the monitors and
the listening position clear of reective surfaces.
Minimum Clearances
Ensure sucient clearance for amplier cooling
and reex port function. The minimum clearance
is 3 cm (13/16 in) behind, above, and on both
sides of the monitor. The ambient temperature
should be less than 35 degrees Celsius (95°F. )
Mounting Options
The Genelec 8430A oers the Iso-Pod™ (Isola-
tion Positioner/Decoupler™) vibration insulat-
ing stand allowing tilting of the monitor acous-
tic axis towards the listener. The bottom of the
monitor has a 3/8 in UNC thread. The rear has
two M6 x 10 mm threads for wall or ceiling
mounts. Genelec oers a selection of mounting
accessories.
Safety Considerations
Servicing must only be performed by qualied
service personnel. The monitor must not be
opened.
• Do not use the monitor with an unearthed
mains cable or an unearthed mains
connection.
• Do not expose the monitor to water or
moisture. Do not place any objects lled
with liquid, such as vases, on the monitor
or near it.
• This monitor is capable of producing
sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB,
which may cause permanent hearing
damage.
• Free ow of air behind the monitor is
necessary to maintain sucient cooling. Do
not obstruct airow around the monitor.
• The device is not completely disconnected
from the AC mains service unless the mains
power cord is detached from the device or
the mains outlet.
