MAKE YOUR
FAVOURITE
ROOM SOUND
EXCEPTIONAL
THE ONES oer precision monitoring with excellent
translation at all listening distances, from just 50 cm up
to several metres - enabling uncompromised monitoring
even in acoustically challenging studios. From ultra-
neareld stereo monitoring in small rooms, with head
movements preserved and room sound excluded, to large-
scale immersive setups, THE ONES family provides a fully
scalable solution for a huge range of room sizes, listening
distances and SPL requirements.
From music recording to mastering to post production, you
really don’t know how good your room can sound until you
have experienced THE ONES’ unique combination of neutral
direct sound and controlled acoustic room reections;
qualities simply not obtainable from traditional monitors.
The W371 Adaptive Woofer System features two
independent woofers in acoustically dierent physical
locations within the room, and unlike traditional systems,
both units overlap in their range of operation. THE ONES
monitors can work with the W371 as a single full-range
system, with the W371 oering three dierent operating
modes to yield a choice of either at and neutral LF
response avoiding room-induced peaks and notches
plus increased maximum SPL, or continued directivity of
the main monitor down to the lowest LF frequencies, or
reduction of detrimental reections by the walls, ceiling
or oor. After selecting the monitor locations, each W371
uses GLM’s AutoCal function to pick and tune the signal
processing for the best LF radiation mode, taking into
account the monitor location and listening position.
The horizontal and vertical directivity plots on the next
pages demonstrate that sound radiated into the room is
neutral. This is dicult to convey completely by using just
a few numbers, and impossible to truly understand without
experiencing it for yourself!
The Complementary Mode can circumvent any reduction in sound
level at certain frequencies (known as ‘acoustic notching’) at the
listening location, by placing the two independent woofers within
the W371 at dierent physical locations in the room - and by then
using the woofer that is best able to radiate audio to the listening
location. In addition, GLM also equalises the W371 with The Ones
for neutral audio, delivering uncoloured low frequency sound with
great dynamics.
The Continued Directivity Mode uses the two woofers in the
W371 simultaneously, to generate constant directivity which
matches that of The Ones monitor being used with the W371.
This creates a four-way monitoring system that has continued
directivity on the horizontal plane right down to the lowest
audible bass frequencies.
The Anti-reection Mode uses the two woofers in the W371
simultaneously to generate regions of silence (known as ‘nulls’) in
certain orientations. These nulls reduce the levels of reected
audio in the operating frequency range of the W371 caused by
various surfaces in the listening room. This also reduces the
acoustic coupling of low frequency energy into room reverberation,
thus reducing any detrimental eects of the room’s acoustics.
