Product Description
The Genelec 8340A SAM Studio Monitor in Raw finish is a compact, high-SPL, networked active monitor designed to deliver forensic accuracy in the most demanding professional environments. With Smart Active Monitor technology, GLM integration and a rugged, industrial raw aluminium enclosure, it offers precise, repeatable monitoring that you can trust from mono through to complex immersive systems.
Capable of peak SPLs up to 110 dB and a frequency response extending from 38 Hz to 22 kHz, the 8340A reveals every detail in your mix while remaining controlled and uncoloured. Its wide, stable sweet spot and excellent off-axis response make it ideal for modern workflows where you are constantly moving between the console, edit station and outboard gear, yet still need consistent translation.
Smart Active Monitor Technology
The 8340A is part of Genelec’s Smart Active Monitor family, meaning it works hand in hand with GLM software to analyse your room and automatically calibrate each speaker. By compensating for detrimental room influences, it tightens low-end, balances frequency response and aligns levels and delays across your system. The result is a monitoring environment that lets you make confident decisions faster, even in acoustically challenging spaces.
Raw Aluminium Finish
This version of the 8340A comes in Genelec’s distinctive Raw finish, showcasing the natural look of the recycled aluminium enclosure. The unpainted surface gives each monitor a subtly unique appearance while retaining all the acoustic benefits of the die-cast cabinet. It is a hard-wearing, studio-friendly aesthetic that sits comfortably in broadcast suites, edit rooms and high-end project studios alike.
Precision Directivity and Wide Sweet Spot
Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide technology ensures exceptionally smooth off-axis response and controlled dispersion. This creates a wide, stable sweet spot that allows multiple listeners to hear an accurate image, and helps your mixes translate reliably to other systems. Whether you are working on stereo, surround or immersive formats, imaging remains precise and consistent.
High SPL, Low Fatigue
With 150 W of Class D power driving the bass driver and 150 W powering the tweeter, the 8340A delivers impressive output for its size, reaching up to 110 dB SPL. Despite this power, the monitor remains composed and low in distortion, so you can work at realistic levels for long sessions without fatigue. The extended low-frequency response down to 38 Hz means you can judge bass content and impact with confidence.
Features
- Smart Active Monitor with GLM Integration - Connect the 8340A to Genelec’s GLM software to automatically calibrate level, distance, EQ and more for your specific room. This delivers a truly optimised monitoring environment that improves translation and speeds up your workflow.
- Directivity Control Waveguide - The DCW waveguide shapes the dispersion of the drivers for smooth off-axis response and a wide sweet spot. This ensures stable imaging and consistent tonal balance, even when you move around the room or have multiple listeners present.
- Powerful Bi-amplified Design - With 150 W for the bass driver and 150 W for the tweeter, both in efficient Class D, the 8340A delivers up to 110 dB SPL with ease. You get clean headroom for demanding material, maintaining clarity and detail at both low and high listening levels.
- Compact, Durable Raw Aluminium Enclosure - The die-cast aluminium cabinet in Raw finish is rigid, acoustically optimised and visually distinctive. Its compact footprint and integrated Iso-Pod make positioning straightforward, while the robust build is ideal for mission-critical studio and broadcast use.
