New Genelec Smart Active
Monitoring Systems
Expanding today’s range of most advanced
and flexible monitoring solutions
Genelec’s long-standing commitment toproviding state-of-the-art monitoring solutions
for professional applications continues. A newgeneration of high resolution Smart Active
Monitoring (SAM™) Systems was introducedwith the 8320, 8330 and 7350, and is now
expanding, offering a comprehensive rangeof Smart monitors and subwoofers. The 8340
and 8350 two-way systems and the 7360
and 7370 subwoofers join Genelec’s wide
range of new SAM Systems which feature ourlatest technology platform for all applications,
whether in the analogue or digital domains.
In addition, the 9301 AES/EBU Multichannelinterface allows the use of 7.1 digital audio
sources with new Smart subwoofers.
Reference monitoring in any room
The last decade has seen a rapid increase inglobal media content creation, driving changes
in the way audio production facilities operate.
Today a growing number of audio productions
are done in tighter, more constrained spaces,
so the demand for precision monitoringin challenging environments continues toincrease. Genelec SAM Systems deliver
controlled dispersion and referencemonitoring in any rooms of any size.
Intuitive control with GLM 2.0
The Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software(GLM™ 2.0) is one part of the GLM System,a highly intuitive and powerful monitor control
networking system that manages connectivity
to all Genelec SAM studio monitors andsubwoofers on the Genelec network.
The complete GLM control system includes
the software, a Genelec measurement microphone and universal microphone holder anda network adapter unit.
Evolve with GLM AutoCal
SAM Systems’ intelligent GLM AutoCal™
technology improves the precision ofmonitoring by compensating deficiencies
in the listening environment. Based on datafrom hundreds of listening rooms, GLM
AutoCal™ is continuously evolving, thereby
enabling SAM Systems installed even years
ago to provide improved performance.

System Architectureand Components

After automated calibration, based on one
or more listening positions, all monitors andsubwoofers in a system play back at the samelevel and timing, with acoustical colorations
removed from the monitors’ room responses,
leaving superb consistency and neutral soundstage imaging.
Outstanding system performance
The Genelec R&D team has a history of groundbreaking developments. The combination of8340 and 8350 monitors with 7360 and 7370
subwoofers offers the highest possible system
flexibility for demanding monitoring needs.
The new family members include floating
point DSP engines, Genelec designed Class D
amplifiers, linearized phase response plus evenmore refined auto-calibration and spectral
tuning capability than before. In case you
already own a SAM System, the latest GLM
2.0 software is your solution to access thecontinued evolution of our SAM technology
via an easy to use Mac and Windows userinterface. These new SAM Systems will makeyou appreciate the forward thinking andlong-lasting support that makes Genelec thebenchmark in audio monitoring for broadcast,post-production, film and music facilities.
Volume Controller

Pioneering SAM technology made in Finland
Genelec is committed to delivering
performance-driven, neutral sounding
monitoring systems for the professional
audio market. With this addition of new SAM
Systems, we offer a comprehensive, solutionoriented, intelligently networked, evolving
product range starting with the compact 8320
all the way up to the flagship three-way 8351
and 1236. Amazing acoustical solutions,electronics, amplifier circuitry, drivers, system
configuration and software are designed, built
and tested at the Genelec factory in Finland.
As green as possible, without a single soniccompromise.
