Genelec M040 2-Way Shielded Active Studio Monitor

Part of the Genelec M Series, the Genelec M040 active monitor includes several innovative technologies to bring you the finest audio quality.

Natural Composite Enclosure

Genelec's pioneering Natural Composite Enclosure (NCE) is made from a fully recyclable fibre composite material. Half of this is wood, which has the right acoustical properties to reduce vibrations and deliver exceptional sound quality. Plus, the enclosure is manufactured using injection molding. This optimizes the shape and structural rigidity for high-quality acoustical performance. Genelec also maximizes the internal volume, something that's vital for achieving high output at low frequencies.

Intelligent Signal Sensing

Genelec's Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) feature reduces power consumption to less than 0.5 watts by automatically switching the active monitor to standby when no audio signal has been detected for some time. When it receives an audio signal again, the loudspeaker turns back on. ISS is fully compliant with the EU requirements and the ErP 2013 Directive for electronic devices.

Class D Amplifier

The need to improve energy efficiency has led to the development of switch-mode operated amplifiers in many areas. Gradually this technology has matured also for demanding audio power amplifiers and Genelec has chosen to design their own… read more Class D amplifier technology. The M series utilizes these high efficiency, low distortion amplifiers in both channels.
