[0.945 lb] I run and operate a busy color suite in South Florida.As a full-time Colorist my first and only concern is helping my clients achieve their vision by making their film and video projects look color perfect.But.I recently wanted to add big theater sound. But - how to do that on a budget, and within the physical limitations of a medium size color suite. Enter Genelec.The 7040A Studio Subwoofer by Genelec is the perfect companion for the 8010's. Easy to set up. Easy to calibrate for your needs. I will always remember my first Genelec moment. As my client's movie trailer played on my color monitor - the 2.1 sound blew me across the room. Close your eyes and you won't believe that this kind of sound is coming out of speakers this small. The 7040A Studio Subwoofer is the key to it all. That - my friend - are the Pros.The Cons? Only one, I can think of: the dip switches. I'm used to volume controls - so it took a bit more fiddling around than I thought I would need to get the sound the way I wanted. The manuals for both speakers and Genelec's website come up short on the kind of help that I needed.It took a little time. But once I understood the dip switch ecosystem - I was good to go.That said - the 7040A Studio Subwoofer by Genelec is a great buy. And, combined with the 8010's - you have one POWERFUL 2.1 audio system. That. Should. Blow. You. Away.Best, Jim --------

[0.945 lb] Perfect ever!

[0.945 lb] I bought the 8010's to have some portability when traveling and producing electronic music. They have a roll off at 65 HZ, just where bass gets beefy. Considering the size of the 8010's they do an excellent job in the mid and high frequency range...but they seriously lack in the deep end. I have since supplemented them by adding the 7040A and the difference is astounding. Yes, this sub has weight to it, isn't exactly small and the idea of portability is somewhat limited now but I'd do what is necessary to bring this baby along for the ride. I'm talking fullness across the board when combined with the 8010's that could well stand up to my home studio near fields.

[0.945 lb] I've been using Genelecs in my edit suite for over 23 years and I've never purchased a sub until recently. Mixing for broadcast, the sub is overkill, right? WRONG! It make mixes come alive and my clients love the added fullness.

[0.945 lb] For being a small enough to seemingly hide under a desk, the whole room can accurately hear, and feel, lows in the studio sound system.

[0.945 lb] I read an earlier edition years ago and finally decided to buy this one. Rather technical but this is what I like. The discussion of the history of lens designs and the schematics showing the lens designs is worth the cost of the book in itself. Everything from camera movements to loading film into film holders is covered. You cannot go wrong buying this book.

[0.945 lb] I've been stuck in the KRK loop for about a decade now. This is my first pair of Genelecs and I am blown away! Sure, they don't have the low-end presence of larger speakers, but the clarity and separation is on a whole other level! I am hearing my favorite music in a new way through these monitors and I cannot wait to use them for critical listening in my own work as well. Every instrument feels like it has it's own space and I am noticing little delights that I have never noticed in my favorite music. What a dream!

[0.945 lb] It's way smaller than I expected but sound amazingly great. It has good focused bass. I can imagine every instruments.

[0.945 lb] Genelec room correction technology is very effective in optimizing my monitors to better sonically fit my home untreated and unoptimized rooms. Outside of the interface with my Genelec speakers (8330A and 8351B) while running the calibration, I have my two GLM kits permanently connected to my monitors and use the matching wireless remote to control the volume at the speakers (Genelec tells me it is the optimal set up for their SAM speakers - attenuation happens right before amplification). When feeding the speakers with a digital signal I get the most transparent and detailed presentation I was ever able to achieve in my home after 20+ years of equipment swapping, tweaking, modding and building... I use Roon to play muisic from my ripped CDs and Qobuz in my 2 home stereo systems. It makes for very minimal hi end systems. You could hide everything but the speakers if you desire...

[0.945 lb] Excellent audio quality from a very tiny speaker.
