The compact Genelec 8040A is a powerful bi-amplified nearfield monitor system ideal for project and home studios, workstations, installations, and surround sound monitoring. The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure has rounded edges and a gently curved front and sides to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction. Like all Genelec 8000 Series powered monitors, the 8040A also features the advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide, a revolutionary flow-optimized reflex port design, optimized die-cast aluminium structure with extremely durable semi-matte finish and acoustically-optimized metal grilles. Low distortion drivers are driven by dedicated amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry and versatile room response controls are standard. The versatile mounting features include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further 3/8" thread for mounting on the cabinet base.

Every Genelec 8040A powered monitor comes with an Iso-Pod (isolation positioner/decoupler) as standard. The Iso-Pod is a mounting stand which allows the system to perform in either the vertical or horizontal position. It also enables the acoustic axis of the monitor to be aimed at the listener, while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on. Volume and tone controls are built into the speaker. Input is XLR balanced, and a balanced XLR output allows the user to daisy-chain multiple 8040A speakers or connect to a subwoofer. The output level is controlled by the volume control, so connected speakers/subs will match the level of the "master" speaker.

Also available in Mystic Black.
