This is the raw version, with the aluminium cabinet left unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy raw\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenelec cast the 8040B cabinet from recycled aluminium, and the raw finish simply stops hiding that. You see the metal and the softly curved edges rather than a coat of paint. In a room with exposed brick, timber or metalwork it looks deliberate, and it does not date the way a painted finish can. Genelec describe the recycled aluminium design as combining transparent, uncoloured audio quality with a unique aesthetic beauty, and raw is the version that makes the second half of that obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutput and low end\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePristine performance here means real numbers. The 8040B extends to an SPL of 105 dB and reaches right down to 41 Hz. That combination is what separates it from the smaller nearfields, because you can check a kick and bass relationship without a subwoofer filling in the parts you cannot hear, and you can push the level for a client without the monitor starting to compress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCabinet and directivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8040B is part of the Genelec 8000 series, which uses die cast aluminium minimum diffraction enclosures with large internal volumes, softly curved edges and considerable strength, all aimed at reducing linear and non linear distortion. The Advanced Directivity Controlled Waveguide gives extremely accurate control of the speaker's directivity, which is what keeps the sound consistent as you move around the sweet spot. You work with speed and accuracy, and the mixes translate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower saving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you stop feeding it signal, the Intelligent Signal Sensing circuitry automatically switches the 8040B into a power saving standby mode. It wakes up again when audio returns, so the pair can stay switched on without burning power through the night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49100785156352,"sku":"8040BRWM","price":1522.02,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/genelec-8040brwm-01.jpg?v=1785425645","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/genelec-8040brwm-active-nearfield-studio-monitor-raw-aluminium","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
