Description

The Genelec 8340ARW is a Smart Active Monitor (SAM™) in a distinctive RAW aluminium finish, combining powerful performance with sustainable design. Engineered for precision monitoring in demanding professional environments such as recording studios, post-production suites, and broadcast facilities, it delivers a high SPL of 110 dB, an extended frequency response from 38 Hz to 22 kHz, and remarkable ±1.5 dB accuracy (45 Hz–20 kHz). The RAW unpainted cabinet is made of recycled aluminium, enhancing both environmental impact and durability.

Inside the 8340ARW are two 150 W Class D amplifiers driving a 165 mm woofer and a 19 mm tweeter, paired with advanced acoustic innovations like Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™), Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™), and Reflex Port Design all contributing to an uncoloured, precise sound with wide dispersion. It also includes Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) for power-saving, and the Iso-Pod™ stand for improved isolation and angle adjustment.

As part of the SAM™ family, the 8340ARW integrates seamlessly with GLM™ software for automated room calibration, delay and level correction, and environmental compensation, making it ideal for stereo, surround, and immersive setups. With analog and digital AES/EBU I/O and network connectivity, this monitor is a versatile, future-proof solution for professional audio accuracy in any acoustic space.

Features

RAW Aluminium Finish
Durable, unpainted enclosure with a modern industrial look and reduced environmental impact which is perfect for high-end studio spaces.

Accurate, Full-Bandwidth Monitoring
Covers 38 Hz to 22 kHz (−6 dB) with ±1.5 dB precision from 45 Hz to 20 kHz for balanced, uncoloured sound.

Powerful Output in Compact Form
Delivers up to 110 dB SPL with 150 W Class D amplification for both bass and treble drivers which is ideal for medium to large control rooms.

Smart Active Monitoring with GLM™
Integrates with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software for auto-calibration, compensating for room acoustics, level, and delay settings.

Precision with DCW™ and MDE™
Directivity Control Waveguide ensures smooth on- and off-axis response, while the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure reduces reflections and imaging artifacts.

Efficient Energy Use with ISS™
Intelligent Signal Sensing switches to low-power standby (≤0.5 W) automatically when idle, supporting sustainable workflows.

Robust, Compact Design
Die-cast aluminium enclosure with reflex port offers both acoustic performance and rugged reliability in a manageable 8.4 kg frame.

Versatile Connectivity
Includes analog XLR input, AES/EBU digital input and output, and dual RJ45 ports for GLM control and networking.

Iso-Pod™ Included for Optimal Positioning
Reduces vibrations and allows tilt adjustment for proper axis alignment, enhancing clarity and imaging.

Complete Setup Provided
Comes with the 8340ARW monitor, 1.8 m mains cable, 5 m RJ45 control cable, and operating manual for immediate integration into your system.
