Genelec 8040BRwM 2-Way 180W Active Studio Monitor (Single, Raw)

Accurate studio monitoring in a rugged raw aluminum finish
The Genelec 8040BRwM is a 2-way bi-amplified studio monitor built for critical mixing, editing, and production applications where consistent audio reproduction is required. Styled in Genelec’s RAW unpainted aluminum finish, this model combines industrial durability with environmentally responsible manufacturing. Ideal for engineers and creators working in project studios, broadcast control rooms, and post-production suites, the 8040BRwM provides a reliable listening experience that translates with accuracy across playback systems.

Precision audio with extended frequency response
Driving a 6.5" woofer with a 90W amp and a 3/4" metal-dome tweeter with its own 90W amp, the 8040BRwM delivers full-range monitoring from 45 Hz to 21 kHz. The speaker maintains accuracy even at high SPLs, giving you the clarity needed to hear low-end detail and top-end sparkle without distortion. A rear-facing bass reflex port enhances low-frequency performance without clouding the mix, making this speaker a strong choice for music production, voiceover, and post environments.

Controlled dispersion with waveguide technology
Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) plays a key role in the 8040BRwM’s wide and even sweet spot. The proprietary waveguide optimizes the off-axis response and ensures consistent imaging across the room. This allows mixers and producers to work confidently, even when not seated dead center. Coupled with its coaxial driver layout, the 8040BRwM minimizes coloration and room interference.

Flexible room tuning and input handling
Rear-panel tone controls provide high- and low-frequency adjustments to compensate for common room challenges such as boundary effects or acoustic imbalances. The 8040BRwM supports balanced analog audio via a standard 3-pin XLR input and includes an input level control for gain staging. Whether you’re connecting to an analog console, audio interface, or monitor controller, this speaker slots into nearly any setup with ease.

Environmentally conscious with low-reflection design
The 8040BRwM’s RAW finish skips traditional painting and coating processes, reducing environmental impact while maintaining a durable surface that resists wear. Its die-cast aluminum cabinet uses Genelec’s Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) design to eliminate sharp edges and reduce internal resonances. This results in cleaner sound reproduction with better phase coherence and smoother frequency response.

Mounting versatility with built-in isolation
Each unit includes an Iso-Pod stand that decouples the monitor from surfaces while allowing tilt adjustment for precise aiming. For permanent or flexible installation, the rear of the speaker includes threaded holes compatible with K&M and OmniMount brackets, allowing for wall, ceiling, or stand-mounted configurations in any studio or mobile setup.
