Genelec 8340A 6.5 inch Powered Studio Monitor Reviews
Genelec 8340A bi-amplified studio monitors are built for demanding professional applications, providing you with a compact footprint, a sophisticated enclosure design, and outstanding acoustic performance. The 8340A monitors are compatible with Genelec's Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology - which we're very impressed with at Sweetwater. SAM technology allows these studio monitors to optimize themselves and automatically align their level, timing, and equalization of room response anomalies, ensuring that you hear the original nuances of your source, without leaving anything out or adding anything to your signal. On top of that, these monitors deliver impressively deep bass, built-in decoupling, ISS power management, and more. Whether you work in a recording studio, post-production house, digital edit suite, radio, or television, you can't go wrong with a set of Genelec 8340A bi-amplified studio monitors!

Last monitors I'll buy
I don't need to shop for monitors anymore. This is it. The GLM software is great for tuning to the room. I mix with these in a well treated room. Can't be happier. I've listened to these and also some more expensive genelecs in an untreated room - not recommended. The software can't make up for phase cancellation, so bass frequencies can be an issue.
how do these sound so good
its honestly disgusting how good genelecs sound. everything sounds trash compared to basically any genelec monitor
Should I get these?
I got these because I am in a small but heavily treated room. If my space increases, these will be the rear surround speakers and the 8" will be in front.
I paired these with the 10" sub.
After room correction, there is only one way to describe the sound;
There is Genelec, and then there is everything else.
Like the 8240 a little better but still v nice
These are great, got 6 for the surround mixing room to add to the 8240 that I have. Two needed to be sent back for replacement due to a manufacturing issue with the woofer. Surprised by this but hey things happen. Genelec took care of it. I liked the power switch better on the 8240 but the new ones 8340a have the ability to be remotely powered on and off where as the 8240 cannot. They sound identical to the 8240 which is great. Overall great sounding speakers. I prefer running them analog but the GLM is fun to play with.
