Bi-amplified loudspeaker system, 105dB maximum SPL, boasting performance comparable to much larger systems, but in a compact package, the bi-amplified 8040B is ideal for use in many situations where a wide frequency response is needed but space is limited. Uses include monitoring, project/home studios, workstations, broadcast and TV control rooms and mobile production vehicles. Intelligent signal sensing (ISS) features reduces power consumption to less than 0.5 watts by automatically switching the active monitor to standby, when no audio signal has been detected for some time. When it receives an audio signal again, the loudspeaker turns back on. ISS is fully compliant with the latest EU requirements and the ErP 2013 directive for electronic devices.
