Genelec 8340A active studio monitor (per unit)

General

The Genelec 8340A is an active studio monitor that is right at home in most (project) studios. It's an essential piece of technology for mixing and mastering; after all, you need to hear exactly what you're doing for the best possible result. A studio monitor is therefore mandatory in any studio, and the name Genelec is synonymous with top-notch equipment. The 8340A's sound is as solid as a rock with an impressive frequency response of 38 Hz to 22 kHz (-6 dB) / 45 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 1.5 dB) at an amplification of 110 dB, thanks to a 6.5-inch woofer and 0.75-inch tweeter.

Features of the Genelec 8340A

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of ways to ruin audio purity in the studio, especially in such a complex occupation as mixing and mastering. Thankfully, Genelec offers help where it can by including an Iso-Pod™ stand, for instance. This way you can aim the speaker accurately to create the optimal listening position, and unwanted vibrations are absorbed. DCW, which stands for Directivity Control Waveguide, ensures an extra-neutral frequency response. MDE, which stands for Minimum Diffraction Enclosure, refers to the rounded corners and curved housing of this studio monitor, which also enhances the purity of the audio.
