 Genelec 7040A Ultra-Compact Subwoofer 
The new 7040A ultra-compact subwoofer is designed to go with Genelec's 8010, 8020 and M030 active monitors. Its diminutive size at just 16.125 X 13.75 X 8.125-inch belies its performance. The 7040A produces 100 dB of sound pressure level (SPL) using a 6 1/2-inch woofer and a powerful Genelec-designed Class-D amplifier.

Designed for use in rooms or mobile studios with limited floor space such as small project music creation studios, sound design suites, or post-production rooms, the 7040A features Genelec's Laminar Spiral Enclosure (LSE™) technology. LSE uses a spiral-shaped strip of steel to provide mechanical stability for the large pressures generated inside the subwoofer resulting in extended low frequency capacity and low distortion. The lowest frequencies are radiated from the bass reflex port by channelling large volumes of air movement through it.

I liked that the 7040A is narrow enough to fit within a 19-inch rack cabinet and weighs 25-lb and there is an optional carrying bag for the itinerant engineer to transport the 7040A easily to and from any studio.

For set up and addressing typical monitoring environments, the 7040A locates all DIP-switches on the subwoofer connector panel and connects to your monitors with stereo in and out jacks.

The Genelec 7040A Ultra-Compact Subwoofer sells for $895 MSRP and for more information on it, check: www.genelec.com/products/7040a/
