Genelec 8340ARwM 6.5 2-Way Smart Active Studio Monitor

Compact Two-Way Studio Monitor in Raw Aluminum Finish
The Genelec 8340ARwM is a Smart Active Monitor that blends cutting-edge acoustic performance with a rugged, industrial RAW aluminum enclosure. Built for serious mixing, mastering, and production work, this compact two-way speaker provides detailed frequency response, high SPL handling, and advanced DSP features in a finish that looks as solid as it sounds. Whether mounted on a desk, wall, or stand, the 8340ARwM is optimized for precision audio in nearfield and small-to-medium control room environments.

Powerful Bi-Amped Design for Full-Range Clarity
Equipped with a 6.5" woofer and a ¾" metal dome tweeter, each driven by its own 150-watt Class-D amplifier, the 8340ARwM delivers a total of 300 watts of clean, efficient power. The speaker reaches down to 38 Hz and up to 22 kHz with exceptional accuracy, giving you the low-end extension and high-end clarity needed for reliable critical listening. A rear bass reflex port boosts low-frequency performance without compromising definition.

DCW Waveguide for Wide Dispersion and Imaging Accuracy
The 8340ARwM incorporates Genelec’s Directivity Control Waveguide, which ensures wide and even horizontal and vertical dispersion while minimizing off-axis coloration. This technology creates a broad, stable listening area—perfect for stereo and multi-channel applications. The DCW also matches the dispersion patterns of the woofer and tweeter, improving phase alignment and resulting in a more natural sound field.

Smart Active Monitor System with GLM Room Calibration
Like all SAM-series models, the 8340ARwM supports full integration with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software. With GLM, you can automatically calibrate your monitors to compensate for room acoustics, time-of-flight delay, and level mismatches. This ensures accurate sound reproduction across varying setups and acoustical conditions, making it ideal for mobile studios, broadcast control rooms, and multi-speaker immersive systems.

Analog and Digital Input Flexibility with Automatic Switching
The rear panel includes balanced analog and AES/EBU XLR inputs, with a second XLR output for daisy-chaining digital signals to additional monitors. Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) detects which input is active and powers the unit accordingly, reducing manual setup steps. Manual override and room adjustment are also available via rear DIP switches and a rotary level control for standalone operation.

Designed for Longevity and Studio Adaptability
The low-diffraction enclosure made from recycled aluminum helps minimize internal resonances and provides durability for long-term use. The raw finish offers a distinct industrial appearance while requiring no additional painting or coating. The monitor includes Genelec’s Iso-Pod stand for acoustic isolation and tilt control and is also compatible with various wall and ceiling mounting solutions via threaded inserts.
