GLM AND
REFERENCE
MONITORING
The frequency response of all monitors will change
depending on their placement in a room, and therefore
each needs to be aligned and calibrated after
positioning to ensure reliable listening conditions.
Genelec monitors have always featured manual EQ
switches to compensate for placement, but THE ONES
enable even more accurate automated compensation,
allowing reference listening under previously intolerable
conditions.
Using GLM™ (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager)
software, Genelec smart active monitoring systems
such as THE ONES can be easily installed, calibrated
and managed, and the same monitors may even be
used in more than one setup. In the GLM conguration
pictured, you can switch between six calibrated setups:
Mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 7.1.2 and 7.1.4. When working
in stereo, simply switch between multiple neareld
and main monitors using the same physical two-
channel output from a workstation. GLM supports all
reproduction systems, even those with
a very high monitor and subwoofer count.
Drawn from decades’ worth of data gathered from
thousands of studios, the GLM application quickly
aligns the level, distance and frequency response of
all monitors on the network; ensuring that setups work
reliably and in compliance with the latest standards,
independently of any external processing.
Moving beyond neareld listening, a major challenge
in reference monitoring is to obtain a low frequency
response without pronounced peaks and dips,
particularly with systems not built into a studio’s walls.
GLM integrates closely with the new W371 Adaptive
Woofer System to make such concerns a thing of the
past, by creating free-standing monitoring systems
uncompromised by LF colouration.
