Provided here in a dark gray producer finish, the Genelec 7040A Studio Subwoofer is a studio subwoofer designed to provide accurate low-frequency reproduction in limited production spaces. Its small footprint suits project studios, mobile vans, and portable recording systems.
This sub is the ideal complement to Genelec 8010A and 8020A monitors. It extends the low-frequency response down to 30 Hz, and uses Genelec's patented Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE) technology to provide both precise bass articulation and extended low-frequency capacity. When used in a stereo system, the sub can produce 100 dB of undistorted SPL by means of its 6.5" woofer, and its powerful Class-D amplifier.
Built-In Bass Management
Balanced XLR connectors are used for the audio inputs and outputs. There are two input connectors and two outputs. The bass-management unit in the 7040A subwoofer splits the input into low- and high-frequency components at 85 Hz. Frequencies below 85 Hz are reproduced by the subwoofer. Frequencies above 85 Hz are directed via the subwoofer's output connectors to the main monitors. The subwoofer's outputs have the same level as the inputs.
Adjustable Sensitivity
The subwoofer sensitivity can be adjusted from +12 to -6 dBu to match the subwoofer sound level easily with different monitors.
Variable Bass Roll-Off & Phase
Two BASS ROLL-OFF switches provide bass-response adjustment to compensate for the acoustical environment in three 2 dB steps. Two switches allow alignment of subwoofer phase with the monitors. The phase can be adjusted in 90-degree increments between 0 and -270°.
