Genelec 7040A Professional Studio Subwoofer with 165mm Driver

The Genelec 7040A is a compact professional studio subwoofer designed to deliver precise, controlled low-frequency reproduction for audio production environments. Engineered specifically for music production, post-production, and broadcast applications, it extends the frequency range of nearfield monitoring systems to ensure mixes translate accurately across different playback systems. Its primary function is to provide clean, distortion-free bass that complements professional studio monitors, creating a full-range listening experience even in smaller production spaces. Key features include Genelec's innovative laminar spiral enclosure technology, which minimises distortion while maintaining high sound pressure levels. The subwoofer incorporates an onboard bass management system that filters low frequencies from the main monitor channels, reducing distortion and increasing overall system headroom. With a frequency response extending down to 30Hz (±3dB from 33-85Hz) and a 50W Class D amplifier powering a 165mm bass driver, it delivers accurate low-end reproduction. Room compensation controls allow adaptation to different acoustic environments, ensuring consistent performance regardless of studio setup. Professional connectivity is provided through two XLR analogue inputs and two XLR outputs for seamless integration with studio monitor systems. This subwoofer is ideally suited for audio professionals working in compact production spaces who require accurate bass monitoring without excessive resonance. It pairs particularly well with Genelec's 8010 and 8020 series nearfield monitors to create balanced full-range systems. The rugged construction and compact dimensions (410mm H × 350mm W × 205mm D) make it practical for both permanent installations and mobile setups. Whether used in home studios, professional control rooms, or broadcast facilities, the 7040A provides the low-frequency accuracy needed for critical listening and mix decisions.
