Genelec’s game-changing 7040A Studio Subwoofer is a professional studio sub designed from the ground up to deliver precision low-frequency reproduction in limiting production spaces. No matter how limited your studio may be in terms of real-estate, due to the 7040A’s small footprint, its perfect for home studios, mobile studios and portable recording systems.
A great subwoofer is about so much more than just delivering ‘more bass’. The laminar spiral design of the 7040A ensures that it can deliver high SPL performance that is precise, articulate and free from distortion, right down to 30 Hz. So when partnered with our 8010 or 8020 nearfield monitors, the 7040A creates a full-range system that is completely seamless. It just sounds ‘right’.
Onboard bass management technology enables the 7040A to filter LF information from the main channels and take responsibility for handling it – thus increasing the headroom and reducing the distortion of the main monitors, which can then focus their energies on the rest of the frequency spectrum. Additionally, room compensation controls allow you to optimise the 7040A for your room environment in exactly the same way as our monitors, so you can still be confident of producing mixes that translate perfectly.
Audio electronic crossovers allow the audio signal to be split into separate frequency bands that are separately routed to individual power amplifiers, which are then connected to specific transducers optimised for a particular frequency band. This offers many benefits: The frequency response becomes independent of any dynamic changes in the driver's electrical characteristics or the drive level; there is increased flexibility and precision for adjusting and fine-tuning each output frequency response for the specific drivers used; each driver has its own signal processing and power amplifier, isolating each driver from the drive signals handled by the other drivers, reducing inter-modulation distortion and overdriving problems.
The principle of bass management is that the bass content of the main channels and the Low Frequency Effect (LFE) channel are directed and reproduced only by loudspeakers capable of handling them, whether they are main system loudspeakers or one or more subwoofer(s). Therefore, the subwoofer extends the system frequency response down the lower limit of the audible range, and the monitor can produce a higher maximum sound level when not reproducing low frequencies!
