Drivers The bass driver dimensions are 165 mm (6 1/2”) and 205 mm (8") for 8240A and 8250A respectively. The long, flow optimized reflex tube has a large cross sectional area and terminates with a wide flare at the back of the enclosure.

USING THE 8240A AND 8250A IN STAND-ALONE MODE The 8240A and 8250A accept both analogue line level input signals and AES/EBU formatted digital input signals. When the 8240A and 8250A are not connected to Genelec loudspeaker control network, they operate in the stand-alone mode.

If the digital inputs are used, all audio outputs are referenced to 0 dBFS (digital Full Scale, the largest level that may be represented in the AES/EBU signal). Genelec DSP loudspeakers produce 100 dB SPL at 1 meter in free space for a digital input signal of –30 dB FS. It is advantageous to keep the digital level as high as possible.
The overload light (red) is activated by several events, • exceeding the maximum input range of the analog input • exceeding the maximum input range of the digital input with large probability • exceeding the output capacity of the power amplifier (clipping in the power amplifier) and thermal overload of the power amplifier or loudspeaker drivers (thermal protection has activated) •...
Genelec 8240A and 8250A can be fitted to König & Meyer loudspeaker mounts on two sets of M6x10 mm threaded holes on the back of the enclosure. On the base of the enclosure is an M10x10 mm threaded hole which can be used for securing the loudspeaker to its base.

Functions on Switch Group 2 Stored / Manual Ctrl This allows the selection between two basic methods of controlling the loudspeaker in the stand-alone mode. “MANUAL CTRL ” refers to controlling the loudspeaker using the controls on the loudspeaker’s back panel. The “STORED” refers to using settings stored inside the memory of the loudspeaker. These settings are made using the GLM and the GLM Control Network.
Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeakers. WARNING! Genelec 8240A and 8250A loudspeakers are capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB, which may cause permanent hearing damage.
