Optimize Your Monitoring Accuracy

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!

Genelec 8340A Smart Active Studio Monitor at a Glance:
  • Minimum Diffraction Enclosure for superb imaging
  • Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide enhances directivity
  • High performance reflex port design
  • High audio output with low distortion
  • Protected by Genelec's ISS power management system
  • Versatile mounting options plus special Iso-Pod stand
Minimum Diffraction Enclosure for superb imaging

The 8340A features Genelec's MDE (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure) enclosure with rounded edges and gently curved front and sides. This allows the 8340A to achieve a very smooth frequency response and superb imaging qualities with minimized cabinet edge diffraction.

Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide enhances directivity

Like all Genelec 8000 Series monitors, the 8340A also features the advanced Genelec Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). The revolutionary DCW has been further enhanced to provide extremely accurate control of the 8340A's directivity. Genelec designed this specially shaped, very smooth surface and integrated it with the enclosure. Its area has been maximized to achieve an astoundingly flat on- and off-axis frequency response. As a result, the 8340A has an astoundingly wide, flat frequency response both on- and off-axis. This also gives the 8340A superb imaging qualities and less listening fatigue.

High performance reflex port design

To increase the 8340A woofer's low-frequency extension and SPL capacity, Genelec designed an ingenious flow-optimized reflex port. The long, curved tube maximizes airflow, so the 8340A can reproduce deep bass without compression. The tube terminates with a wide flare, minimizing port noises and providing excellent bass articulation. An optimized die-cast aluminum structure with an extremely durable semi-matte finish and acoustically optimized metal grilles add to the 8340A's acoustic excellence.

High audio output with low distortion

Genelec's low distortion drivers (6.5" woofer and 3/4" metal dome tweeter) are driven by the 8340A's dedicated 150-watt Class D bass and treble amplifiers after sophisticated filtering. Magnetic shielding, overload protection circuitry, and versatile room response controls are standard.

Protected by Genelec's ISS power management system

Thanks to Genelec's Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) power management system, you never have to remember to shut down your 8340A monitors again. ISS constantly checks for input signal. After a while, if ISS doesn't detect anything, it switches your 8340A over to a low-power sleep state, safeguarding your gear and sparing you the wasted electricity.

Versatile mounting options plus special Iso-Pod stand

The versatile mounting features on the 8340A include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further M10 thread for mounting on the cabinet base. In addition, every Genelec 8340A monitor comes with a standard Iso-Pod (Isolation Positioner/Decoupler). The Iso-Pod enables the acoustic axis of the monitor to be aimed at the listener while acoustically and mechanically decoupling the monitor from the surface it is resting on.

Genelec 8340A Smart Active Studio Monitor Features:
  • 2-way monitor with 6.5" woofer and 3/4" metal dome tweeter
  • HF Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW)
  • Optimized Class D amplifiers: 150-watt (LF), 150-watt (HF)
  • Active crossovers
  • Compatible with Genelec's Smart Active Monitor (SAM) technology
  • Onboard protection circuitry
  • Minimum Diffraction Enclosure, reflex port design
  • Intelligent Signal Sensing conserves power when not in use
  • Iso-Pod stand built-in
  • Versatile mounting options
Optimize your studio's monitoring accuracy with Genelec 8340A monitors!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 4.5/5

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.
Music background: Audio Engineer 23 years
Rated 5/5

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.
Rated 5/5

how do these sound so good

its honestly disgusting how good genelecs sound. everything sounds trash compared to basically any genelec monitor
Rated 5/5

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.
