Genelec 8040b 6.5" 2-way 180w Active Studio Monitor (single, Producer Finish)
- Product Code: ga173329
-
Styled in a producer finish, the Genelec 8040B is a single 2-way active studio monitor designed to provide accurate mix referencing for audio engineers, musicians, and producers in project studios, small to medium-sized control rooms, broadcast trucks, or mobile setups. It features a 90W amp driving a 6.5” woofer and a 90W amp pushing a 3/4” metal-dome tweeter, producing a frequency response of 45 Hz to 21 kHz.
A proprietary waveguide enhances imaging, while the bass reflex port extends the low-frequency response. The aluminum enclosure is shaped to minimize diffraction. It supports a balanced input via an XLR 3-pin connector. Room compensation options include high- and low-frequency adjustments. There is a selectable power-saving mode that enables automatic power up/down via a signal-sensing circuit.
The 8040B offers multiple mounting options including threaded holes for compatibility with OmniMount and K&M brackets, and an Iso-Pod isolation stand.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does anyone have experience with traveling on an airplane with this item How did you manage it?
A: This would be less than ideal. A Westcott X-Drop system would be far easier to transport.
Q: 2. is it compatible with godox monolight heads?
A: Yes, it will fit.
Q: 3. Can I attach a 50 inch Sony flat screen TV to the mount supplied? How tall is the stand when extended?
A: The Impact Studio LCD Monitor Support Kit comes with a VESA mount. If the TV has that mount, it will attach to that. Note: The stand supports no more than 22 lb, and if your TV is say 20 lb or more, it is not recommended. The stand can go up to 10.75 feet.
Q: 4. Is a separate encoder needed to send the HDMI output to a streaming service?
A: Yes, if you use the PTZOptics Producer-4K Camera & Controller Bundle's (Gray) camera's HDMI outputs, you will need to find a way to encode the HDMI feeds if your end goal is to stream.
Q: 5. Does video cary over IP or does it require I use a 2nd set of cables for SDI/NDI/HDMI, etc?
A: The PTZOptics Producer-4K Camera & Controller Bundle (Gray) can carry video signals via NDI|HX3 or IP over Ethernet.
Q: 6. Do I need to buy anything extra to attach my AlienBee B400 to this stand?
A: No, the AlienBee 400 will attach directly to the c-stand with no needed extra accessories.
Q: 7. What color is the back of the Gray one?
A: The Studio Essentials Pop-Up Background Kit (5 x 6.5', Gray) would be gray on both sides; the front is the patterned mottled gray seen in the image, and the back would have a flat, neutral gray color.
Q: 8. what is the maximum focal length of the camera?
A: PTZOptics Move 4K SDI/HDMI/USB/IP PTZ Camera (BH #PT20X4KGYG3) has focal length of 6.2- 125mm. The camera also has 20x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom.
Q: 9. How is the quality compared to the Matthews Century C+ Stand with Removable Turtle Base, Black - 10.5 (3.2m)?
A: I don't know the Matthews stand but this one is rock-solid and I'm very happy with it. Sturdiness = heavy.
Q: 10. would this hold a greenscreen?
A: This is a very solid stand that can bear a good bit of weight, especially if you use sandbags to counter any uneven loads. I don't know exactly what kind of green screen you have in mind, but two of these stands and some sort of crossbar would certainly hold a roll of green seamless paper.
