The Genelec 6040R two-way floorstanding speaker is a Genelec classic with a revamped design.\u00a0An upgraded version of the original 6040A loudspeaker (produced from 2001 to 2010) by designer Harri Koskinen\u00a0will be the\u00a0first in the new Signature series.\u00a0The company’s signature feature is a permanent die-cast (from secondary aluminum) cabinet.<\/p>\n

This time, the closed body of the speaker received an improved, albeit extremely recognizable geometry.\u00a0According to the company, it has implemented continuous curves to minimize edge diffraction.\u00a0Genelec called this a “minimum diffraction housing” using a DCW directivity-controlled tweeter waveguide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer, this time the system is equipped with an updated bass driver.\u00a0The patented class D power amplifiers are responsible for the accuracy of signal transmission. True to their traditions, the developers of Genelec have equipped the new product with a DSP circuit.<\/p>\n

Full customization of the Genelec 6040R<\/a> is possible using the proprietary GLM active acoustics control application.\u00a0However, the traditional DIP switches on the rear panel will also help with system setup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A speaker 1 meter tall is ready to give out up to 110 dB SPL (sound pressure) in the frequency range 43 Hz – 20 kHz with an unevenness of -6 dB – the sound is clearly “larger”.<\/p>\n

The price of the Genelec 6040R floor standing units has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
