Product details

The Genelec 8040 is a studio monitor designed for music production, post-production, and broadcasting. It allows for fatigue-free listening and objective mixing with a clearly defined bass response. The speaker is made of aluminum die-cast, making it resonance-free and stable. The drivers are protected by grilles. Rounded cabinet edges and the sound guide ensure optimal spatial representation and a wide listening area. The bass reflex design provides precise and deep bass reproduction down to 41 Hz.

The Genelec 8040 offers high level reserves. With its two distortion-free 90-watt amplifiers, it achieves a sound pressure level of 105 dB, making it suitable for medium-sized rooms of up to approximately 30 m². Switchable filters allow for adjustment based on placement. Threaded holes and compatible accessories facilitate wall or ceiling mounting. The Genelec 8040 features an automatic on/off function that can be disabled if needed. Compatible subwoofers include the Genelec 7360 or 7370.

    Sie mag unscheinbar aussehen, funktional vielleicht auch, aber wer sie hört, wird merken: Die Genelec 8040B ist ein Spitzenlautsprecher, der auf sehr schöne Art Studio-Tugenden mit Hörgenuss unter einen Hut bringt. Die Ausstattung ist top, die Genelec 8040 lässt sich zur Top-Wiedergabe an jedem erdenklichen Arbeitsplatz bewegen. Tolles Teil.
