IBC2024 attendees got to see something never seen before, headphones from Genelec.
The key part of an expansion of the UNIO loudspeaker monitoring system, the 8550A headphones make it also into a “personal” monitoring system. They’ll work with the 9320A controller and Genelec’s Aural ID headphone technology to create what Genelec calls a “seamless bridge between professional in-room loudspeaker and personal headphone monitoring.”
The circumaural 8550As have 40 mm neodymium magnet transducers and will ship with leather and velvet earpads along with straight and coiled cables.
Genelec Managing Director Siamäk Naghian said, “UNIO now effectively offers audio professionals three levels of reference monitoring. Those simply seeking the finest in-room loudspeaker monitoring can enjoy the combination of Smart Active Monitors, GLM and the 9320A, while users that also seek accurate headphone monitoring will embrace the arrival of the 8550As. But, for those seeking the ultimate combination of in-room and personal headphone monitoring, the UNIO Personal Reference Monitoring Solution and Aural ID V2.0 represents the most accurate and portable monitoring system ever produced.”
