Acoustic adjustment included

The Genelec 8040 BPM is an active two-way studio monitor that delivers the first-class sound producers the world over have come to expect from the Finnish manufacturer. With its signature, stylish housing produced from lightweight die-cast aluminium, this model features two separate amplifiers with a total output of 180W, driving the 6.5" woofer and 3/4" tweeter to deliver sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 115dB per stereo pair. In addition to its automatic start function, this speaker also allows the frequency response to be adjusted to the room’s acoustic conditions. A balanced XLR input allows signals to be fed in without interference, while a protective circuit prevents driver damage caused by short-term level peaks. Magnetic shielding is also included as standard.

Impressive range of features

With a frequency range from 45Hz to 20kHz, the Genelec 8040 BPM delivers impressive low-end performance for a compact monitor. To achieve this, the speaker uses bass reflex technology, which maximises low-frequency sound pressure and extends the driver transmission range. For adjustment to room conditions, both the bass and treble levels can be reduced in four different dB steps, or the bass can be rolled off completely. When the monitor is placed on a reflective surface, activating the Desktop Control function helps prevent frequencies between 160 and 200Hz from becoming overly pronounced. The (deactivatable) automatic start function detects whether a signal is present and automatically switches the amplifier unit on as required. This makes the speaker easy to operate and helps save energy.

For the discerning listener

Anyone looking for a monitor speaker with a flat frequency response and a spacious, three-dimensional sound will not be disappointed with the Genelec 8040 BPM. As this device does not include a volume control, it's best suited for studio setups where the listening level is adjusted via an external monitor controller. If playback remains consistently too loud or too quiet, the speaker's sensitivity can be adjusted using a small rotary control. For recording and mixing professionals who rely on consistently high-quality sound, the 8040 is an excellent choice, with its housing materials and shape also contributing hugely to the overall sound audio image – they minimise resonance and ensure optimum sound dispersion in multi-speaker setups.

About Genelec

Genelec was founded in 1976 by Ilpo Martikainen. It grew from a family business into one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional studio and broadcasting loudspeakers. To this day, Genelec's loudspeakers are manufactured exclusively in Finland. Genelec offers performance-oriented, neutral-sounding loudspeakers and subwoofer systems for audio professionals and sound enthusiasts, and a combination of innovative technology and design ensure that the range of products is continuously improving. The company is committed to sustainable development and environmental awareness. In 2018, Genelec was awarded the Pro Sound "Company of the Year" award. Genelec speakers are favourites of such recording industry veterans as Obie O'Brien, Michael Carnes, and David Reitzas, as well as of producers like Hardwell, Keith Ross, and Vini Vici.

Ideal for stereo and surround setups

Whether in a professional studio, home setup, or editing suite, the Genelec 8040 BPM delivers outstanding results thanks to its flat frequency response and room-adaptation features. It can be used not only as part of a stereo set, but also as a component in a surround setup. Genelec also offers a suitable subwoofer for this purpose – the Genelec 7040 APM (article no. 365449). When used on resonant surfaces such as a desk or stand, the integrated IsoPod comes into play, decoupling the speaker from its support surface using a combination of rubber feet and connecting bars. Multiple threaded inserts at the rear of the housing provide secure mounting. Genelec also supplies suitable mounting accessories, such as the Genelec 8000-422B Wall Mount (article no. 347094).

Sehr gut !
Im Test gegen Focal CMS 50, Presonus S6, Neumann KH 120, KRK RP10-3, Adam S1X der beste Lautsprecher. Sicherlich ist es nur meine Meinung. Ich selbst habe die K&H O300D und die Focal SM9 als Referenzlautsprecher besessen bzw als Testmuster hier gehabt.
Meine Rangliste:

1.K&H 0300D ( oder Neumann KH 310 )
2. Focal SM 9 ( sehr guter Bass aber für mich zu harsch im Klang)
3. Genelec 8040 ( ich habe sehr lange mit Genelec gewartet, habe auf die Meinung anderer vertraut und jetzt endlich mal selber gehört. Für das Geld: Sehr gut ! Sehr hoch auflösend, sehr präsent, lebendig, luftig, straff/trocken im Bass. Man hört Detail die bei anderen Lautsprechern untergehen. Nicht ganz so neutral wie die Neumann HK 120 aber in Test der einzige Lautsprecher bei dem sich der Klang vom Lautsprecher löst; abgesehen von K&H O300 und der Focal SM9)
4. Neumann KH 120 ( Preis/Leistungssieger ! Für das Geld wahrscheinlich der beste Lautsprecher. Sehr neutral, schnell und luftig. Instrumente und Stimmen klingen sehr echt. Ein kleines bischen dunkler Sound. Unglaulich guter/ tiefer Bass für die Größe. Sehr gut verarbeitet!

robust, flexibel, neutral, ehrlich

Christian6094 09.04.2014

Ich habe die Genelec 8040 bereits einige Jahre in anderen Studios genutzt bevor sie nun auch endlich an meinem eigenen Arbeitsplatz stehen.

Die Boxen zeichnen sich vor allem durch ihren linearen und ehrlichen Klang aus, der es einem ermöglicht jedes noch so kleine Detail im Mix zu erkennen und zu bewerten. Bemerkenswert ist, wie präzise sich alle Klänge im Stereopanorama orten lassen. Dies in Kombination mit der sehr plastischen Tiefenstaffelung machen die Boxen zum perfekten und verlässlichen Arbeitstier, auf das man sich zu jeder Zeit verlassen kann.

Die Bauweise ist sehr robust, Hoch- und Mitteltöner sind durch Metallgitter geschützt, sodass die Box auch idealer Begleiter für Recordings und andere Einsätze außerhalb des eigenen Studios ist.

Die an der Rückseite befindlichen Schalter für Bass Roll Off, Bass Tilt und Treble Tilt ermöglichen darüber hinaus eine Anpassung an die Hörumgebung.

für diese Größe sehr gute Nahfeldmonitore

nobra 09.03.2015

Ich benutze die 8040 zum Abhören bei mobilen Aufnahmen, aber auch als Nahfeldmonitore in meinem Studio. Die Lautsprecher sind sehr ehrliche, verlässliche Referenzmonitore, die ich auch zum Schnitt (Klassik) sehr gern benutze. Für die Klangbeurteilung sind sie gnadenlos und blenden nicht durch Hifi-Klang. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.
