Genelec M Series Active Monitors The first two models in the Genelec M Series Bi-amplified Active Monitor line are the M030 (273mm H x 190mm W x 190mm D and weighs 4.6kg) and the M040 at (337mm H x 235mm and 229mm D and weighs 7.4kg). They both use a Natural Composite Enclosure™ (NCE™) manufactured for Genelec in Finland from wood fiber and recyclable material. The M030 and M040 have the familiar look of Genelec with rounded edges and gently curved front and sides said to minimize cabinet edge diffraction and foster better sound imaging. Both also have newly designed Class-D power amplifiers that are highly efficient, produce lower distortion and run cooler than Class-AB amplifiers of equivalent power and specification.

Automatic voltage selection allows the monitors to operate throughout the world and there is auto power on/off with standby power consumption less than 0.5W. The M030 has a five-inch woofer and 0.75-inch metal dome tweeter, powered by a 50-Watt and 30-Watt amplifier, respectively. It has a frequency response of 58Hz to 20kHz. The bigger M040 goes with a 6.5-inch woofer and one-inch metal dome tweeter powered by an 80-Watt and 50-Watt amplifier and a response of 48Hz-20kHz.

Additionally, the M Series have high-performance drivers, intuitive room response controls and system calibration with both XLR/TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs.

The Genelec M030 and the M040 Bi-amplified Active Monitors sell for M030 $695 (each) and the M040 at $995 (each). Check: www.genelec.com/products/m040/.
