What is the difference between A and B version of 8020 - Tip 13
With the introduction of the 8020B, Genelec is putting more emphasis on environmental care and improved usability.
The mains power switch is now located on the enclosure’s rear panel whilst the rotary front panel control is for sound level adjustment only. You can still mute the audio signal using the front panel volume knob, but the mains power is only switched off using the rear panel on/off power switch. This also enables turning the power off without changing the set level, as in all of our other products.
Along with this change, the output rearmounted XLR connector has been removed. The performance specs and DIP switch functionality all remain as before.
