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.

Once the connections have been made, the loudspeakers can be switched on.
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.
