Presented in an elegant black piano lacquer finish, the 8381 pairs seamlessly with a corresponding high-fidelity power amplifier, offering audiophiles a blend of aesthetic sophistication and cutting-edge audio performance.
Building on its legacy since 1978, Genelec continues to lead the industry with active acoustic systems designed for professional studios, audiovisual setups, and discerning home environments.
