The 8340 AWMs are seriously impressive nearfields – incredibly detailed and accurate, especially when paired with the GLM system. They’re ideal for engineers, producers, and mixers who demand unflinching truth in their monitoring chain and need a compact footprint. The waveguide really helps spread the soundstage, too.
