Product Description
The Genelec 8040B is a bi amplified, compact studio monitor that delivers remarkable performance, comparable to larger systems, making it ideal for spaces where high quality audio is required but space is limited. This versatile monitor is perfect for nearfield monitoring, project and home studios, broadcast and TV control rooms, and even mobile production vehicles. Equipped with Genelec's innovative technologies, including Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) for power saving, the 8040B ensures low energy consumption without compromising performance. The combination of a flow optimised reflex port and advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW ) offers exceptional bass articulation and a wide, flat frequency response across various listening positions. Designed for high accuracy, the 8040B provides superb imaging and reduces listening fatigue, making it an excellent choice for both professionals and enthusiasts. With built in room response controls, overload protection circuitry, and an Iso Pod for sound decoupling, the 8040B delivers consistent, precise sound in any environment.
Key Features:
- Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) Technology:
This feature reduces power consumption to under 0.5 watts when no audio signal is detected. It automatically switches the speaker to standby and activates it when audio is received. - Precise Sound Reproduction:
The advanced DCW and MDE enclosure design provide an incredibly wide, flat frequency response and excellent imaging for a natural and immersive listening experience. - Versatile Mounting Options:
The 8040B includes integrated rear support points for floor and wall stands and a threaded M10 hole for easy installation in various environments.
Audio Performance and Design:
The Genelec 8040B studio monitor is engineered to produce accurate sound reproduction, providing a flat frequency response from 41 Hz to 21 kHz. The clever combination of the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW ) and Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE ) ensures that sound remains balanced and clear, both on and off axis. This design reduces distortion and delivers crisp, natural sound across a wide listening area, making it perfect for precise nearfield monitoring. Additionally, the reflex port provides deep, articulate bass without any undesirable port noises or compression. Whether you're producing music, mixing audio, or mastering, the 8040B allows you to hear every detail of your work.
Intelligent Power Saving:
The 8040B's Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) feature ensures that energy is conserved when the monitor is idle. By automatically switching the speaker to standby when no audio is detected, it meets the EU's ErP 2013 energy standards and significantly reduces power consumption. When audio is detected again, the speaker resumes full functionality without any delay or loss in accuracy. This automated power saving system enhances the overall longevity and reliability of the speaker while reducing environmental impact.
Versatile Installation and Mounting:
Genelec’s 8040B is designed for flexible installation in various environments. The Iso Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler) allows the speaker to be decoupled from its surface to eliminate sound coloration caused by vibration, while also enabling precise angling to direct the acoustic axis at the listener. Additionally, the 8040B includes integrated rear support points, which allow for secure mounting on both floor and wall stands, and an M10 threaded mounting hole for easy integration into different setups. These features make the 8040B perfect for both professional and home studios, as well as broadcast and mobile production vehicles.
