Genelec 8010A

Balance Beam Style	Installation on the Base	Installation Instructions
Suspension System	Overview	Doesn’t take up space on the desk

　Since this speaker appears to be made in Finland, as a former NOKIA employee, I feel a strange sense of kinship with it. The design has a distinctly Nordic feel. Being an old-timer, I don’t really know much about sound quality. However, since it has balanced inputs and a built-in amplifier, I’d say it pairs well with the Babyface pro fs.

　The Base I put some thought into how to mount it. I designed the mounting to maximize the desk surface area without encroaching on the floor space. I also made it compatible with the RCA (Unbalance). Initially, it was a mobile setup, but since the LCD change made a suspended configuration impossible, I settled on this mounting method.I’m also using a pan-tilt head. There’s a dedicated mounting plate on top of the pan-tilt head, which I had to order from Germany—it took nearly a year to arrive. Thanks to its integration with the pan-tilt head, I can now freely adjust the angle.

　The audio world is full of pitfalls, but even if you just want to listen casually, I think some investment is necessary—so I figure this is good enough. Since this speaker has also been officially designated as part of the legacy series, I’d say it fulfills its true purpose.
