10. Using the 6040R
with Subwoofers
The 6040R can be combined with Genelec
subwoofers to increase the sound pressure level
(SPL) and extend the low frequency response
of the system. Subwoofer models 7350, 7360
and 7370 all support GLM calibration, which
is a great advantage for achieving a neutral
and accurate bass output to match the main
loudspeakers. The 7050 or F Two subwoofer
models can also be used, but as these don’t
support GLM calibration they should be set
using their own DIP switch controls once the
6040R loudspeakers have been calibrated.
Recommended subwoofer solutions are shown
in Table 2, but please consult your authorised
Genelec dealer to determine the best system for
your needs.
A basic method for setting up with F Two
subwoofers and GLM calibration for the 6040Rs
is as follows:
1. Calibrate the 6040R using GLM.
2. Store the calibration settings to the 6040R.
3. Remove the GLM adapter and GLM network
connections.
4. Connect the F Two(s) to the system so that the
cabling goes through the F Two.
5. Calibrate the subwoofer phase manually (see
the F Two user manual).
6. Control the volume using the remote controller
that is supplied with the F Two Subwoofer.

If GLM is not used for calibrating the 6040R,
use the DIP switch controls on the subwoofer
and 6040R to adjust the phase and frequency
balance of the system.
11. Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are inside the
loudspeaker. All servicing of the 6040R should
only be done by qualified service personnel.

12. Safety Considerations
The 6040R has been designed in accordance
with international safety standards. To ensure
safe operation and to maintain the loudspeaker
under safe operating conditions, the following
warnings and cautions should be observed:
• Do not use this product with a mains cable
having no protective earth conductor or a
mains power connection with no protective
earth terminal as this may compromise
electrical safety.
• Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or
moisture. Do not place any objects filled with
liquid, such as vases on the loudspeaker or
near it.
• All servicing of the 6040R should only be done
by qualified service personnel.
• Do not open the loudspeaker enclose or
remove any parts of the loudspeaker.
• Note that the power button on the
loudspeaker’s base does not completely
disconnect mains power. To do this, you need
to disconnect the mains power cable.
• The 6040R is capable of producing sound
pressure level (SPL) in excess of 85 dB, which
may cause hearing damage. Sound exposure
is a measure of energy, i.e. SPL with time. Over
an 8 hour period, sound exposure from your
listening system should not exceed 80 dB(A) in
adults or 75 dB(A) in children. The 3 dB equal
energy principle applies, so 80 dB for 8 hours
equals 83 dB for 4 hours, 86 dB for 2 hours
etc.
• This equipment is only intended for indoor use
and for use in normal room temperatures.
