Mounting and Placing Monitors
Mounting Options
The Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™ (Iso-Pod™) stand allows
tilting of the monitor and isolates vibrations. As delivered from the
factory, the Iso-Pod retainer spring is attached to the bottom of the
enclosure for vertical orientation. With horizontal positioning, use
the separate Iso-Pod horizontal mount retainer spring (included
in packaging). Use the screws in the mount retainer spring when
attaching the horizontal mount retainer spring. The spring must be
mounted offset towards the reflex port to bring the Iso-Pod to the
enclosure centerline (See Figure 6).
Aim the acoustic axis of the monitor towards the listening
position (see Figure 4). Place monitors symmetrically and at equal
distances from the listening position. Preference should be made
in placing the listening position on the left-right centerline of the
room (see Figure 5). If a monitor is placed far (1.0-2.2 m, 3-7 ft)
from the acoustically hard wall behind the monitor, a reflection
from the wall may reduce bass output. Avoid these distances.
Place monitors away from acoustically reflective surfaces.
Reflections from desks, cabinets, computer monitors and such
objects can colour audio and blur sound images. Place monitors
on stands behind and above a mixing console as this usually
improves audio compared to placing monitors on a meter bridge.
Ceiling and wall mounts are available through Genelec
dealers. Monitor mounts attach to four M6 x 10 mm threaded
holes on the enclosure back. Consult the Genelec Accessories
Catalogue at www.genelec.com or distributor/dealer for
information.
Front Panel Light
The light on the front panel is normally green. Red and yellow
colours indicate special situations. See Table 2.
Use with Subwoofers
Genelec recommends 7300 series subwoofers and the W371
Adaptive Woofer System for 8361A. Consult the on-line Genelec
Product Selection Tool at www.genelec.com.

sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the
monitor.
The 8361A is capable of producing sound pressure levels in
excess of 85 dB, which may cause hearing damage. Sound
exposure level integrated over eight contiguous hours should be
limited to Leq=80dB(A) to reduce the risk of permanent hearing
damage. For each 3 dB increase in this sound level, half this
exposure time.
The Genelec 8361A is guaranteed for two years against
manufacturing faults or defects altering performance. You can
get an additional three-year guarantee covering spare part costs
by registering your product at www.genelec.com. Refer to your
