Subwoofers — Genelec 7040A

The 7040A is a powered subwoofer from Genelec, built with a restricted, focused bandwidth suited to a specific reinforcement role. The 7040A brings Genelec's considered professional engineering to accessible dedicated bass reinforcement.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans a narrow 30Hz to 90Hz. Internal amplification delivers 50W. At 41.0 x 35.0 x 20.5cm and 11.3kg, the 7040A maintains a manageable footprint suited to reinforcing this specific low-frequency band.

Sound and use context

Expect focused bass reinforcement within the specific 30-90Hz band, reflecting Genelec's considered engineering approach aimed at reinforcing precisely this frequency range alongside compatible Genelec main speakers.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the 7040A connects to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier or AV receiver's subwoofer output directly, pairing naturally with Genelec's own compact active loudspeaker range.

Alternatives

Genelec's own 7050C sits above this model with considerably greater amplification, worth comparing directly to find the right Genelec subwoofer tier.
