The active 8340A DSP two-way speaker raises the quality of the monitoring speaker one step closer to perfection. In terms of performance, it corresponds to its significantly larger competitors, but is perfectly suited to situations where high-quality sound reproduction is needed in tight spaces. The 8340A is ideal for near-field monitoring in recording studios, project or home studios, audio workstation applications, radio or TV studio use, and outdoor production vans.

8340 bass reflex speaker with reflex tube flow characteristics optimized to minimize flow losses and flow-induced noise. The DCW rectifier integrated into the housing structure together with the soft shapes and roundings of the MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) housing produces a very smooth frequency response not only in the acoustic axis but also in other sound radiation directions. In addition, this technology improves the accuracy of the stereo sound image and reduces listening fatigue.

The renewed DSP splitter filter produces a signal for very low-distortion speaker elements. The 8340A is magnetically protected, overload protected and its DSP offers an unprecedented range of room response correction tools. Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM is a combination of computer software and a loudspeaker control network, which allows the level calibration of loudspeakers, delay differences due to distance differences and changes in loudspeaker response caused by room installation to be automatically corrected using the AutoCal calibration system. The 8340A includes both analog and digital AES/EBU inputs. In addition, the AES/EBU signal can be chained forward using the output connector.

Each 8340A includes an Iso-Pod anti-vibration base that eliminates coloration caused by mechanical vibration and isolates the speaker from its mounting base. The Iso-Pod enables the speakers' acoustic axes to be directed towards the listening position. In addition, the 8340A includes mounting points integrated into the housing on the back plate for wall and floor stands and an M10 base thread.
