The Genelec 8040B PM is a proximity monitor designed to offer a sound restitution exceptionally faithful, with an impressive sound pressure level up to 115 dB peak. Adapted to professional studios, it is intended for sound engineers looking for both transparency, impact and accuracy in their decision-making. Its extension in the bass reached 41 Hz, ensuring a balanced reproduction without the systematic use of a serious casing.
Its design incorporates the recycled moulded aluminium case emblematic of Genelec, combining elegant design and acoustically controlled. The 8040B PM benefits from the same key technologies as other 8000 series models, including the DCWTM (Directory Control Waveguide) for a homogeneous diffusion of sound, andIso-PodTM, orientable support that guarantees optimal positioning without harmful vibrations. The frequency response settings at the rear enable the monitor to be adapted to the acoustic environment of each studio.
The 8040B PM is positioned naturally above the models 8010A, 8020D and 8030C, offering more power and greater sound, while keeping the same Genelec quality standards. It approaches the performance of the higher model 8050B, while remaining in a still compact format. For music production, mixing or broadcast, the 8040B PM remains a reliable and popular choice for professionals around the world.
