Genelec 8040A Bi-Amplified Monitoring System
Boasting performance comparable to much larger systems, but in a compact package, the bi-amplified
8040A
is ideal for use in many situations where a wide frequency response is
needed but space is limited. Uses include nearfield monitoring,
project/home studios, workstations, broadcast and TV control rooms and
mobile production vehicles.
The ingenious, flow optimized, reflex port achieves clear deep bass
articulation with no compression or port noises. Combined with the
advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide™
(DCW™) and the rounded edges and gently curved front and sides of the
MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™) enclosure, the result is an
astoundingly wide, flat frequency response both on and off axis. Other
benefits include superb imaging qualities and less listening fatigue.
Carefully designed crossover filters with steep roll-off feed dedicated
amplifiers for each of the low distortion drivers. The 8040A includes
magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry and versatile room
response controls as standard.
Each 8040A comes with an Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™)
which eliminates coloration of the sound by decoupling the monitor from
its mounting surface. The Iso-Pod™ also allows the speaker to be angled
so that its acoustic axis points directly at the listener. For ideal
mounting in differing environments, the 8040A includes integrated rear
support points for floor and wall stands, with an additional M10
threaded mounting hole on the enclosure base.
