Genelec 4040A Compact Two-way Active Loudspeaker System

Description 4040A Installation Speaker The largest of the 4000 series models, the flagship 4040A is designed for larger fixed installations that demand higher playback levels and greater low frequency extension. Precision and clarity With beautiful aesthetics and 120 RAL colour finishes, the 4040A delivers Genelec’s trademark precision and clarity, with controlled directivity and the ability to adapt to challenging acoustic environments via simple rear panel room compensation switches. This ensures clean, intelligible, non-fatiguing audio whatever the playback level, plus bulletproof 24/7 reliability as standard. For larger indoor installations such as theatres, restaurants, conference rooms, museums, art galleries, and sport centres, the 4040A is unrivalled. Get more active The active design of the 4000 series removes the need for bulky external power amplifiers, since the amplifiers, crossover filters and protection circuitry are contained within the speaker cabinet itself. This not only ensures that the electronics and drivers are mutually optimised, but also reduces the need for racks of external amplifiers and associated cabling. And thanks to our extensive range of mounting accessories, the 4000 series can be installed quickly and conveniently in almost any location. Key Technologies The speaker incorporates a range of advanced Genelec technologies for accurate, powerful, and consistent audio performance. Active Crossovers provide precise frequency management, while Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) Technology ensures controlled sound dispersion. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) Technology enables efficient signal detection, and Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) Technology helps minimise unwanted cabinet-related acoustic effects. Optimised Amplifiers deliver clean and efficient power, while Protection Circuitry helps safeguard the speaker during demanding operation. Reflex Port Design enhances low-frequency performance, and Room Response Compensation allows the speaker to be optimised for its acoustic environment. Versatile Mountings provide flexible installation and placement options.
