Product details

The Genelec 8040B is a two-way active studio monitor designed for professional audio monitoring applications. It is part of Genelec's 8000 series, which is renowned for its accurate sound reproduction and reliability.

Here are some key features of the Genelec 8040B:

• Active Monitoring: The 8040B is an active speaker, meaning it has built-in amplifiers for each driver. This eliminates the need for external power amplifiers and ensures precise control over the audio signal.
• Two-Way Design: The speaker features a two-way design with an 6.5-inch woofer and a 3/4-inch metal dome tweeter. This configuration provides a balanced and accurate sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum.
• Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW): Genelec's proprietary Directivity Control Waveguide technology is implemented in the 8040B. It helps control the speaker's directivity and improves off-axis response, resulting in a wider sweet spot and reduced room reflections.
• Room Response Compensation: The 8040B incorporates Genelec's Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) technology, which automatically adjusts the speaker's frequency response to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of the room. This ensures consistent and accurate monitoring in various listening environments.
• Versatile Mounting Options: The speaker includes integrated mounting points, allowing for easy installation on stands or walls using compatible Genelec accessories. This provides flexibility in positioning and angling the speakers to optimize the listening experience.
• Connectivity Options: The 8040B provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, offering compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces, mixers, and other professional audio equipment.
• Robust Build Quality: Genelec is known for its durable and reliable construction, and the 8040B is built to withstand the demands of professional use.
