Its 165 mm (6½-inch) woofer and 19 mm (¾-inch) metal-dome tweeter each have a dedicated 90 W Class AB amplifier. With a frequency response of 41 Hz–25 kHz at −6 dB, the 8040B provides the bass extension needed to assess kick drums, bass instruments and low-frequency effects in a nearfield setup. Genelec’s rounded aluminium enclosure and Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) help maintain consistent sound dispersion, while rear-panel tone controls let you adjust the response for the monitor’s placement. The Dark Grey version, model 8040BPM, is supplied as a single monitor with an Iso-Pod™ stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-way active nearfield studio monitor in Dark Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e165 mm (6½-inch) woofer and 19 mm (¾-inch) metal-dome tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated 90 W Class AB amplifier for each driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41 Hz–25 kHz frequency response at −6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e105 dB short-term maximum SPL at 1 m under Genelec’s test conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) for controlled sound dispersion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast aluminium Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) with a bass-reflex port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced analogue XLR input with adjustable sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesktop LF, Treble Tilt, Bass Tilt and Bass Roll-Off controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIso-Pod™ isolation stand with tilt adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) automatic standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-Way Active Nearfield Studio Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8040BPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSales Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoofer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165 mm (6½-inch) Cone Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 mm (¾-inch) Metal Dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 W Bass + 90 W Treble, Class AB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 Hz–25 kHz (−6 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Accuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 Hz–20 kHz (±2 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort-Term Maximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 dB at 1 m, Averaged Across 100 Hz–3 kHz in Half Space\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 × Balanced Analogue XLR, 10 kΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoom Response Controls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesktop LF, Treble Tilt, Bass Tilt and Bass Roll-Off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesktop LF Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e−4 dB at 160 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Roll-Off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to −6 dB at 45 Hz in 2 dB Steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-Cast Aluminium, Bass Reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMains Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion-Specific Mains Voltage, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e365 × 237 × 223 mm with Iso-Pod™; 350 mm High without Iso-Pod™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4 kg per Monitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Genelec 8040B Studio Monitor, Dark Grey (8040BPM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.8 m mains cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Iso-Pod™ kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse two 8040B monitors for \u003cstrong\u003estereo nearfield listening\u003c\/strong\u003e.
