Genelec 8040B Overview

A Standard of Quality
The 8040B Studio Monitor Black from Genelec has come to be regarded as one of the most reliable and trustworthy studio monitors in the audio industry, with its recognizable and durable enclosure, Iso-Pod system, and active crossovers, the 8040B will improve the sonic output of any studio sound system.

With its wide, uncolored sweet spot, the engineer is always in a position to make accurate, reliable mix decisions. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry detects when the monitor is no longer in use, engaging an environmentally friendly, power-saving standby mode. With its 6.5" LF driver and 105 dB SPL max output, the monitor is versatile, for use in many situations such as medium-size mixing rooms, as main monitors in smaller rooms, or in secondary studios. The included Iso-Pod system ensures complete protection from excess vibration. With a famously sleek and simple aesthetic, combined with quality that you can touch and feel, the Genelec base series showcases widely recognized transparency and quality, regardless of your studio size and monitor application.

Audiophile Components
Drivers:

  • 6 ½" (LF) / ¾" (HF)

Amp Power:

  • 90W Class AB (LF) / 90W Class AB (HF)

Connections:

  • 1 x 3-Pin XLR Female Analog Input
Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS)
  • Tracks the signal input of the loudspeaker and detects if in use
  • If the ISS circuit does not find any audio on the input for a period of time, it sets the loudspeaker to a low-power sleep state in which the speaker consumes less than 0.5W
Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) Technology
  • Shapes the emitted wavefront in a controlled way, allowing predictable tailoring of the directivity (dispersion) pattern
  • Limits radiation angle, reducing stray radiation
  • Results in excellent flatness of overall frequency response, as well as uniform power response
  • Minimizes early reflections and provides a wide and controlled listening area, achieving accurate sound reproduction, on and off axis
