ing down to standby mode happens after a
certain time when playback has ended. The
power consumption in standby mode is typi-
cally less than 0.5 watts. The playback will
automatically resume once an input signal is
detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic pow-
ering up. If this is undesirable, the ISS
can be disabled by setting the "ISS DISABLE"
switch on the back panel to "ON" position. In
this mode, the monitor is powered on and off
using the power switch on the back panel.
MDE™ and DCW™ Technology
The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™
(MDE™) Technology increases the perfor-
mance of the Genelec 8000 Series loud-
speakers by minimizing edge diffraction and
improving frequency and power response.
The edges of the enclosure are rounded and
blend seamlessly into the enlarged Directiv-
ity Control Waveguide™. Surface disconti-
nuities that cause diffraction are minimized.
The curved walls of the die-cast aluminium
enclosure are thin but rigid, allowing maxi-
mum internal volume while also providing
improved EMC shielding and heat dissipa-
tion for the amplifiers. Locating the reflex
port to the back of the enclosure allows a
generously dimensioned reflex port for mini-
mal port noise and excellent bass articulation
while freeing the front baffle for an enlarged
and optimized DCW™.
ACOUSTIC
AXIS
Figure 2: Back panel layout of the 8040B.
The advanced DCW™ is designed to
match the performance of the drivers in
terms of both frequency response and direc-
tivity. This results in a smoother overall fre-
quency response on and off axis. In addition,
the improved directivity control causes more
direct sound and less reflected sound to be
TM function received at the listening position, providing
improved imaging and reducing the effects
of room acoustics. The DCW™ improves the
drive unit sensitivity by +2 to +6 dB, thus also
increasing the available system maximum
sound pressure level.
Mounting
The 8040B offers several mounting options:
The vibration insulating Isolation Positioner/
Decoupler™ (Iso-Pod™) table stand allows
tilting the speaker for correct alignment of the
acoustic axis. The stand can be attached to
three mounting points allowing vertical and
symmetrical horizontal positioning. On the rear
of the enclosure there are two sets of M6x10
mm threaded holes to accommodate an Omn-
imount size 30.0 bracket or a K&M 24180
®
wall mount. On the base of the enclosure is a
M10x10 mm threaded hole which can be used
for securing the loudspeaker to its base.
Guarantee
The 8040B is guaranteed for a period of two
years against faults in materials or workman-
ship.
