General description
The Genelec M030 and M040 are compact two
way active monitoring loudspeakers designed for
near field monitoring. They contain drivers, power
amplifiers, active crossover filters and protection
circuitry.
The Natural Composite Enclosure™ (NCE™) of
the M Series loudspeakers is made out of natural
fiber composite material. Half of the material is wood
fiber. The enclosure is shaped to reduce edge diffraction and includes the advanced Directivity Control
WaveguideTM (DCWTM). This design provides excellent frequency balance also in difficult acoustic environments.
Connections
Turn the loudspeakers off before connecting them
to the signal source. The power switch is located
on the back panel (see Figure 2). Connect the loudspeaker to a mains connection with the supplied
mains cable. Both M030 and M040 are equipped
with an automatic voltage selection feature, which
allows connecting them to mains voltages between
100 and 230 Volts, with a tolerance of ±10%.
Audio input is via a balanced XLR or 1/4“ TRS
phone jack (combination connector) or an RCA connector. Never connect the loudspeakers to the loudspeaker outputs of a power amplifier or an integrated
amplifier or receiver.

ISS™ -function
Both loudspeaker models have a power switch on the
back panel. Set this switch to the “OFF” position when
the loudspeakers are left unused for several days or
when connecting or disconnecting any cables in the
system.
When the power switch is set to “ON”, the ISS™
Intelligent Signal Sensing function powers the loudspeakers up when playback begins. The mode indicator light on the loudspeaker lights up and the
playback resumes after a slight delay (<2 seconds).

ISS powers down the loudspeakers after the playback has ended and the loudspeakers go to standby
mode. The power consumption in the standby mode
is less than 0.5 watts.
Setting the playback level
The playback level of the M030 and M040 can be
matched to the output of the signal source by using
the “Level” toggle switch on the back panel. Three
settings are available. Select the one that gives the
desired playback level and good resolution of the volume control.
