INTRODUCTION Congratulations and a thank-you for the purchase of this Genelec 8200 Series DSP Loudspeaker. These systems are designed to integrate easily into the digital production environment. There are several ways to configure and operate the DSP loudspeakers for a wide variety of high quality audio applications. The loudspeakers also have analog inputs, making them versatile and intelligent replacements for analog loudspeakers. - Page 4 Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary Genelec loudspeaker control network, and Genelec 7260A, 7270A and 727A DSP Active Subwoofers, but can also be used independently of these. The 8240A and 8250A feature high SPL output, low colouration and broad bandwidth in a small enclosure size.
- Page 5 The 8240A and 8250A accept both analogue line level input signals and AES/EBU formatted digital input signals. When the 8240A and 8250A are not connected to Genelec loudspeaker control network, they operate in the stand-alone mode. However, settings made with the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software can be saved into each loudspeaker and applied even when the network is disconnected by setting switch “STORED/MANUAL CONTROL”...
- Page 6 If the digital inputs are used, all audio outputs are referenced to 0 dBFS (digital Full Scale, the largest level that may be represented in the AES/EBU signal). Genelec DSP loudspeakers produce 00 dB SPL at meter in free space for a digital input signal of –30 dB FS. It is advantageous to keep the digital level as high as possible.

Page 7: Mounting Considerations
The overload light (red) is activated by several events, • exceeding the maximum input range of the analog input • exceeding the maximum input range of the digital input with large probability • exceeding the output capacity of the power amplifier (clipping in the power amplifier) and thermal overload of the power amplifier or loudspeaker drivers (thermal protection has activated) •... -

Genelec 8240A and 8250A can be fitted to König & Meyer loudspeaker mounts on two sets of M6x0 mm threaded holes on the back of the enclosure. On the base of the enclosure is an M0x0 mm threaded hole which can be used for securing the loudspeaker to its base. - Page 9 Please note that the GLM Loudspeaker Controller allows a much more versatile and precise set of controls to be used, and supports the fully automatic system alignment feature, the Genelec AutoCal.

- Page 10 Functions on Switch Group 2 Stored / Manual Ctrl This allows the selection between two basic methods of controlling the loudspeaker in the stand-alone mode. “MANUAL CTRL” refers to controlling the loudspeaker using the controls on the loudspeaker’s back panel. The “STORED” refers to using settings stored inside the memory of the loudspeaker. These settings are made using the GLM and the GLM Control Network.

Using 7000 Series Analog Subwoofers with 8200 Series DSP Loudspeakers Please follow the steps below to integrate an analog subwoofer into a system of DSP loudspeakers: • Connect cables carrying analog audio to the 7000 Series analogue subwoofer first. • Connect the subwoofer outputs to the analog inputs of the 8200 Series DSP main loudspeakers. - Page 12 WARNING! Genelec 8240A and 8250A loudspeakers are capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage. Guarantee Genelec 8240A and 8250A are supplied with one year guarantee against manufacturing faults or defects that might alter the performance of the loudspeakers.
