As part of Genelec’s respected 8000 series, the 8040B is known for its balanced frequency response, robust SPL capacity, and durable build quality. Equipped with a 6.5-inch woofer and a 3/4-inch metal dome tweeter , both powered by dedicated 90-watt RMS amplifiers , the 8040B delivers a substantial maximum SPL of 105 dB . Its wide frequency response of 48 Hz to 20 kHz ensures detailed and faithful monitoring for a variety of professional applications. Key Features Two-Way Active Monitor System: Utilizes a 6.5-inch woofer and 3/4-inch tweeter, each driven by independent amplifiers for precise sound across the full frequency spectrum. 90W Bi-Amplification (Total): Ensures efficient power delivery with 90 watts RMS per driver, providing consistent output with low distortion. 105 dB SPL Output: High sound pressure level capability allows for dynamic and high-energy audio playback without compromise. Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™): Curved aluminum housing minimizes diffraction and cabinet resonances, maintaining clarity and definition in audio playback. Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™): Controls dispersion to create a stable and consistent sound image across a wide listening area. Room Response Compensation Controls: Adjustable rear DIP switches for bass tilt, bass roll-off, and treble tilt, enabling optimal tuning based on room acoustics and placement. Magnetically Shielded Drivers: Designed to operate safely near computer monitors and other sensitive electronic equipment.
