Compact size, big sound

The Genelec 8340 AWM 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 300W, driving the 6.5" woofer and 3/4" tweeter to deliver sound pressure levels of up to 118dB SPL per stereo pair. In addition to its automatic start function, this speaker features integrated SAM technology, which allows multiple Genelec monitors to be optimised using software, a computer interface, and a measurement microphone. A balanced XLR input allows signals to be fed in without interference, while a protective circuit prevents driver damage by intercepting short-term level peaks. Magnetic shielding is also included as standard.

Impressive range of features

With a frequency range from 38Hz to 22kHz, the Genelec 8340 AWM 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. 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. Two XLR sockets serve as digital input and output for the AES/EBU format. Two RJ45 network ports are also provided to integrate the monitor into a GLM network, enabling dynamic frequency adjustments via software. Frequency adjustments can be carried out not only via software but also manually.

For the discerning listener

The Genelec 8340 AWM is extremely unlikely to disappoint anyone looking for a monitor speaker with a flat frequency response, an adjustable monitoring sound for multiple listening environments, and a spacious, three-dimensional sound. The speaker is an excellent choice for recording and mixing professionals who rely on consistently high-quality sound and may need to adjust its sensitivity, which can be achieved using a small rotary control. The housing materials and shape also contribute to the speaker's high-quality sound, minimising resonances and ensuring optimal 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 ensures 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 8340 AWM delivers outstanding results thanks to its flat frequency response and both manual and automatic 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 7350APM. 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. Threaded inserts at the rear of the housing provide secure mounting. Genelec also supplies suitable mounting accessories, such as the Genelec 8000-444B Ceiling Mount.

In the spotlight

SAM system and GLM network

The SAM system ("Smart Active Monitor") is a technology developed by the Finnish manufacturer Genelec. It enables speakers to be adapted almost fully automatically to the acoustic characteristics of a room. This is achieved using the GLM speaker software, a Genelec measurement microphone, and the corresponding computer interface, all of which are available together as a set (article no. 357055). An integrated DSP solution within the SAM monitors ensures that acoustic issues are compensated for, and the system automatically applies the appropriate frequency adjustment, while also allowing the listening position and speaker alignment to be optimised. Up to 30 monitors and subwoofers can be connected, adapted to the room, and matched to each other, and multiple settings can also be created and recalled for different listening positions.

Excellent

Ragera 17.06.2020

I am using these in a home theatre set up for Movies and music. Earlier I was using Hifi speakers from Yamaha (NS-777 *4, NS-444 as center). The Yamaha's were bass heavy.

These speakers are excellent. with the GLM set up, they are excellent sounding. I had other speakers also tested KS Digital C8/C88, Neumann KH310, KH120. But for a hometheater 5.2 set up, they are just top class, reference speakers. You can't do better than this.
