Product Description
The Genelec 8040B is a professional active studio monitor designed to reveal the honest truth about your mixes. With impressive SPL capability, extended low-end response and class-leading imaging, it is a trusted nearfield solution for engineers, producers and broadcasters who need accuracy, consistency and reliability session after session.
Combining Genelec’s iconic die-cast aluminium enclosure with advanced waveguide technology and intelligent power management, the 8040B delivers pristine, uncoloured sound in a compact footprint. Whether you are working in music production, post, editing suites or project studios, it helps you make confident decisions that translate outside the control room.
Pristine, Honest Monitoring
The 8040B is built to let you hear exactly what is in your mix, with a wide frequency response from 41 Hz to 25 kHz and an exceptionally flat response within ± 2 dB between 48 Hz and 20 kHz. This level of accuracy means you can balance low end, midrange detail and high-frequency air with confidence, without fighting room-induced colouration from the speaker itself.
Power and Headroom
With a maximum SPL of 105 dB and twin 90 W Class AB amplifiers driving the bass and treble drivers, the 8040B offers serious power and headroom for a nearfield monitor. You can work at realistic listening levels without strain, hear transient detail clearly and maintain clarity even when sessions get loud, making it ideal for demanding modern productions.
Advanced Cabinet and Waveguide Design
The 8040B’s recycled aluminium enclosure and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) are engineered to minimise diffraction and control dispersion. The result is a stable, precise stereo image and a wide, usable sweet spot, so you can move around the desk without losing perspective on your mix. The curved cabinet also helps reduce internal resonances, contributing to the monitor’s transparent, uncoloured sound.
Smart, Practical Monitoring
Practical touches make the 8040B easy to integrate into your workspace. The Iso-Pod isolation and positioning device is included, helping decouple the monitor from your desk and allowing you to tilt it for optimal listening angles. An XLR analogue input provides a robust, studio-standard connection, while Genelec’s Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) circuitry automatically places the monitor into a low-power standby mode when no audio is detected, helping to reduce energy consumption between sessions.
Features
- High SPL with Extended Low End - With a maximum SPL of 105 dB and low-frequency extension down to 41 Hz, the 8040B delivers both power and depth. You can accurately judge bass content, kick and sub information without needing to constantly reference on other systems.
- Accurate, Neutral Frequency Response - A response of 41 Hz to 25 kHz with ± 2 dB accuracy between 48 Hz and 20 kHz ensures mixes are presented honestly. This neutrality helps your work translate reliably to headphones, hi-fi systems, cars and portable speakers.
- Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) - Genelec’s DCW technology shapes the dispersion of the drivers for consistent off-axis response and excellent imaging. This gives you a wide sweet spot and a clear stereo picture, even in compact or acoustically challenging rooms.
- Recycled Aluminium Enclosure with Iso-Pod - The rigid, curved aluminium cabinet reduces resonances and diffraction, while the included Iso-Pod helps isolate the monitor from the supporting surface and allows precise tilt adjustment. Together they contribute to cleaner sound and more flexible placement on your desk or console.
