Genelec 4040AM – 6.5″ Active Installation Speaker – 240W RMS, 110 dB SPL – Mystic Black

The largest of the 4000 series models, the flagship 4040A is designed for larger fixed installations that demand higher playback levels and greater low frequency extension.

Precision and clarity

With beautiful aesthetics and 120 RAL colour finishes, the 4040A delivers Genelec’s trademark precision and clarity, with controlled directivity and the ability to adapt to challenging acoustic environments via simple rear panel room compensation switches. This ensures clean, intelligible, non-fatiguing audio whatever the playback level, plus bulletproof 24/7 reliability as standard. For larger indoor installations such as theatres, restaurants, conference rooms, museums, art galleries, and sport centres, the 4040A is unrivalled.

Get more active

The active design of the 4000 series removes the need for bulky external power amplifiers, since the amplifiers, crossover filters and protection circuitry are contained within the speaker cabinet itself. This not only ensures that the electronics and drivers are mutually optimised, but also reduces the need for racks of external amplifiers and associated cabling. And thanks to our extensive range of mounting accessories, the 4000 series can be installed quickly and conveniently in almost any location.
