Product Description
The Genelec 8040B White is a premium active nearfield studio monitor designed to reveal the honest truth about your mixes. With a wide 41 Hz to 25 kHz frequency response, 105 dB maximum SPL and ultra-accurate imaging, it delivers the clarity and power you need to make confident decisions in the studio, whether you are producing music, post or broadcast content.
Housed in Genelec’s distinctive recycled aluminium enclosure and supplied with the Iso-Pod isolation stand, the 8040B White combines precise, uncoloured sound with a sleek, modern look that suits any control room. Class AB amplification, advanced active crossovers and Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide technology work together to give you a reliable reference that translates effortlessly to headphones, hi-fi systems and real-world playback environments.
Pristine, Honest Monitoring
The 8040B White is built to let you hear exactly what is in your mix, without hype or flattery. Its extended low-frequency reach down to 41 Hz means you can accurately judge kick drums, bass lines and low-end balance without needing a separate sub in many smaller rooms. With an accuracy of ± 2 dB from 48 Hz to 20 kHz, you get a smooth, predictable response that helps you dial in EQ, compression and effects with precision.
Power and Headroom on Tap
With 90 W of Class AB power driving the bass driver and 90 W dedicated to the tweeter, the 8040B White delivers a maximum SPL of 105 dB. That gives you plenty of headroom for tracking loud sources, checking mixes at realistic playback levels and working in medium-sized control rooms, all while maintaining control, detail and low distortion.
Controlled Directivity and Imaging
Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide technology shapes the dispersion of the tweeter to match the woofer, resulting in a wide, stable sweet spot and consistent tonal balance on and off axis. This controlled directivity reduces unwanted room reflections and makes it easier to hear panning, depth and spatial detail, so your stereo image remains solid and reliable wherever you sit.
Smart, Efficient Design
The 8040B White uses a rigid, recycled aluminium cabinet that minimises resonances and contributes to its transparent sound. The included Iso-Pod stand helps decouple the monitor from your desk and allows you to tilt and position it for optimal listening height. Intelligent Signal Sensing circuitry automatically switches the monitor into a low-power standby mode when no audio is present, helping to reduce energy consumption in everyday studio use.
Features
- Wide, Accurate Frequency Response - With a frequency range of 41 Hz to 25 kHz and ± 2 dB accuracy from 48 Hz to 20 kHz, the 8040B White lets you hear every detail from deep lows to airy highs, so you can balance your mixes with confidence.
- Powerful Class AB Bi-Amplification - Separate 90 W amplifiers for the 165 mm bass driver and 19 mm tweeter provide clean power and ample headroom, ensuring tight low end, clear mids and smooth highs even at higher listening levels.
- Directivity Control Waveguide - Genelec’s DCW technology delivers a controlled, even dispersion pattern, giving you a wide sweet spot and consistent imaging that helps your mixes translate across different playback systems.
- Recycled Aluminium Enclosure with Iso-Pod - The rigid aluminium cabinet reduces colouration, while the included Iso-Pod stand isolates the monitor from the supporting surface and allows precise tilt adjustment for optimal monitoring position.
