Genelec 8381A-480B Height Extension Kit (Black)

Extension Kit for Ideal 8381A Monitor Placement
The Genelec 8381A-480B Height Extension Kit is purpose-built to raise your 8381A Adaptive Point Source Monitor to an optimal listening height while preserving the system’s sleek, professional design. This black-finished extension seamlessly integrates with the 8381A’s chassis, maintaining aesthetic continuity in control rooms, mastering suites, and immersive production spaces. It’s the go-to solution for users who require precise monitor positioning without compromising visual consistency or acoustic integrity.

Supports Acoustic Alignment and Visual Uniformity
Proper monitor height is critical for accurate soundstage imaging and phase alignment—especially in point source systems like the 8381A. This extension kit helps achieve ideal vertical positioning, allowing the coaxial driver array to remain aligned with the listener's ears. The kit’s design ensures that the monitor’s performance remains consistent while supporting an elegant and unified visual appearance in any professional environment.

Engineered Specifically for the Genelec 8381A
Unlike generic monitor stands or third-party risers, the 8381A-480B is precision-matched to the footprint and structure of the Genelec 8381A. It connects securely to the monitor’s base, adding height without introducing instability or unwanted resonances. By using a dedicated extension designed by Genelec, users can be confident in the structural integrity and long-term reliability of their monitoring setup.

Matches Black Finish of the Original Monitor System
The 8381A-480B ships in a durable black finish designed to perfectly match the 8381A monitor system. This keeps visual focus on the workspace, not the gear, and ensures a clean, coordinated look across your monitoring environment. Whether you're building out a multi-channel immersive system or refining your stereo listening position, the extension maintains a high-end, professional aesthetic.

Ideal for Immersive, Mastering, and Control Room Setups
As immersive audio formats and high-resolution monitoring systems demand more tailored placement, the 8381A-480B enables engineers and designers to create ideal loudspeaker geometries without compromise. It’s particularly useful in Dolby Atmos, multichannel mastering, and large-format control rooms where standard monitor heights may not align with reference standards.

Quick Installation and Stable Integration
The extension kit is engineered for simple installation and integrates securely with the 8381A base structure. No additional rigging or third-party hardware is required. Once installed, the system remains fully stable and mobile, retaining all the benefits of a free-standing SAM monitor while improving vertical positioning and listener alignment.
