“The transient response and degree of high-frequency detail were positively outstanding. Imaging was also excellent. Low-frequency extension was admirable for such a small monitor… the M030 is one of the best-sounding small-format near-fields I’ve heard to date.” – MIX

“I was very impressed by the Genelec M030, and it is certainly one of the best small active monitors that I have heard. If you are looking for a pair of easily portable, high-quality monitors at this price point, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that you audition the M030 at the earliest opportunity.” – Sound On Sound
