Genelec 8340A SAM Series 6.5" 2-Way 300W Active Studio Monitor

Precision Monitoring with Smart Active Technology
The Genelec 8340A SAM Series is a compact yet powerful 2-way active studio monitor, delivering 300W of Class-D amplification through a 6.5" woofer and 0.75" metal dome tweeter. With a frequency response of 38 Hz to 22 kHz (-6 dB) and a maximum SPL of 110 dB, it ensures accurate sound reproduction for critical listening environments. The Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology allows for automatic calibration to your room's acoustics using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, providing a tailored monitoring experience.

Innovative Design for Accurate Sound
The 8340A features Genelec's Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) technologies, minimizing edge diffraction and ensuring consistent frequency response both on- and off-axis. Its die-cast aluminum enclosure not only provides durability but also contributes to its precise acoustic performance. The integrated Iso-Pod™ stand decouples the monitor from its mounting surface, reducing coloration caused by vibrations.

Versatile Connectivity and Mounting Options
Equipped with both analog and digital inputs, including XLR analog and AES/EBU digital connectors, the 8340A integrates seamlessly into various studio setups. Its compact dimensions (H 365 x W 237 x D 223 mm with Iso-Pod) and multiple mounting options, such as wall mounts and mic stand adapters, make it suitable for diverse studio environments, from small control rooms to mobile setups.

Energy Efficiency and Protection Features
The 8340A incorporates Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) technology, which automatically switches the monitor to a low-power sleep mode when no audio signal is detected, conserving energy. Additionally, built-in protection circuitry safeguards the monitor against signal overloads, ensuring reliable performance over time.

Ideal for Various Professional Applications
Whether you're working in music production, post-production, broadcasting, or mobile recording, the Genelec 8340A offers the accuracy and adaptability required for professional monitoring. Its ability to adapt to different acoustic environments through SAM technology makes it a versatile choice for professionals seeking consistent and reliable sound reproduction.
