General

The Genelec M040 monitor is the ideal speaker for small home studios. As part of the M series, together with the M030, Genelec have designed these monitors to provide a quality solution for smaller spaces that wouldn't be too heavy on your wallet. So if you're looking for a great, diverse monitor for a smaller room, you're in the right place!

Features of the M040 Monitor

The M040 features a unique design with environmental friendliness in minded. To be specific, the monitor has been given a stand-by mode function, so that it will switch off automatically when it hasn't been used for an hour. Of course, it turns right back on once it detects an incoming signal. Besides that, the housing is also made from recyclable, die-cast material consisting of wood and fibres.

Technical Details of the M040

The M040 monitor is fitted with a 6.5-inch woofer for the mids and lows, which is accompanied by a 1-inch tweeter for the highs. A class D amp provides the bi-amplification for the monitor, allocating 50 Watts for the tweeter and 80 for the woofer. Finally, you can connect your audio source via XLR, 6.35mm jack or RCA, whether it's a studio mixer or an audio interface

I was looking at lots of different studio monitors and reading lots of reviews, I have yamaha hs8 with the sub all ready but thought maybe this could but a nice upgrade and I was so right, I love my new Genelec M-Series M040 I took them out the box set them up and was instantly blown away with the imaging and depth they offer is so diffrent they work so well in my room they have a very nice low end too so much of one that I'm not sure I will need my sub to be fair, my yams are now redundant I will a/b tho to be fair but work most of the time on the gens

De M040 heeft een goed geluid, de schakelbare instellingen achterin dragen daar ook bij. Zo kun je de basrespons aanpassen dmv een schakeltje omzetten. Op de monitor zelf staat aangegeven welke situatie welke instellingen vereist dus dat komt helemaal goed. Dit geldt ook voor de positie van de monitor, bv. staat deze op een plank en heeft deze een muur erachter staan enz.

Je bent nog wel even met het zoeken naar de 'ideale' positie voor de monitor. Het is dan ook raadzaam om je hier over in te lezen.

Fijn product, erg tevreden!

Uitstekende nearfield monitors! zeer exact over het hele frequentie gebied.
Wat extra ondersteuning in het laag erbij is wel een aanrader. ( afhankelijk van de muziek soort )
Sprankelend hoog en niet vermoeiend in het gehoor.
Het blijft verbazen wat deze in hun mars hebben.
Ze schakelen gewoon in standby bij geen signaal. dat zou alle audio app. moeten doen.
Ik ben er erg blij mee , en de levering van Bax-shop verliep keurig.
