Genelec 7040APM Active Subwoofer – Black Finish

Genelec 7040A Studio Subwoofer

The Genelec 7040A Studio Subwoofer, available in a sleek dark gray producer finish, is masterfully engineered to fit compact production environments such as project studios, mobile vans, and portable recording systems. Its design is specifically tailored to complement the Genelec 8010A and 8020A monitors, delivering precise low-frequency sound down to 30 Hz.

Advanced Audio Performance

The subwoofer employs Genelec’s patented Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE) technology, ensuring detailed bass articulation and extended low-frequency capacity. Capable of generating 100 dB of undistorted SPL through its robust 6.5″ woofer and high-efficiency Class-D amplifier, this sub is a powerful addition to any stereo system.

Seamless Integration and Control

Equipped with balanced XLR connectors for both input and output, the 7040A features built-in bass management that divides the input into low and high-frequency components at 85 Hz. Frequencies below this threshold are handled by the subwoofer, while those above are passed to the main monitors, ensuring optimal sound distribution. The output level matches that of the inputs for consistent audio quality.

Customizable Sound Adjustment

The subwoofer provides adjustable sensitivity settings from +12 to -6 dBu, allowing you to easily align the sound level with various monitors. Additionally, the unit includes two BASS ROLL-OFF switches for acoustical environment compensation in 2 dB steps and phase alignment in 90-degree increments up to -270°, facilitating fine-tuning for an immersive audio experience.
