SAM™ Development
In 2006, the creation of Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™), changed forever the way in which monitoring systems interact with their acoustic
environments. For the first time, automated calibration was in the hands of every user.
The idea of adaptability has been a part of Genelec monitors and subwoofers since 1978, but with the advent of SAM, Genelec surpassed
the need for manual switch adjustments. In the decade that followed, the unique SAM blend of performance and flexibility has proven itself
an indispensable tool within countless studios. At the same time, it has driven improvements in acoustics, electronics and features, alldescribed in this catalogue.
Genelec – the leader in active monitoring technology since 1978 – has now refined SAM to become the definitive technology in accurate andreliable monitoring. Today, SAM is the essential solution for every music, broadcast or post-production facility on any scale.

2006

2013

Representing an industry breakthrough,the first Genelec Loudspeaker Manager(GLM™ 1.0) with the 8200-416 network interface and 8200A calibration
microphone offered computer controlof five revolutionary products; the 8240
and 8250 active monitors and 7260,
7270, and 7271 subwoofers.

SAM grew again, this time making
a home in larger studios thanks toa multi-purpose designed amplifier
module, the RAM-L, and three higher
resolution monitors, the 1237, 1238,
and 1238AC.

2007
A year later, the GLM concept was
extended to the SE (Small Environment)
Systems, representing the perfectmarriage of the specially coded 7261
DSP subwoofer, GLM SE software,
the 8200-416B network interface and
8200A calibration microphone, and the8130 digital input monitor.

2009
As GLM and AutoCal™ solidified theirpositions as the industry’s trusted
Smart monitoring technologies, the
3-way 8260 was launched. Mixing theaesthetic appeal of the 8000 Series,
it featured a high resolution Minimum
Diffraction Coaxial (MDC™) midrange/
tweeter driver together with a traditional
10" woofer.

2011
Following the release in 2010 of the1038CF, the 1238CF became a perfect
SAM™ solution with space-saving
dimensions, high directivity control andstrikingly powerful sound pressure level(SPL).

2014
Now a cornerstone technology, SAM
expanded with major introductions including GLM 2.0, encompassing a radically redesigned UI with the 8300-416
network interface and 8300A calibration
microphone, plus the Compact SAM
Series with the 8320, 8330 and 7350.
Also new, the 8351 was greeted as themost innovative Genelec monitor yet,featuring a Minimum Diffraction Coaxial(MDC™) driver plus a large Directivity
Control Waveguide (DCW™) and two
acoustically concealed woofers. With
SAM, the 8351 redefined the monitoring experience.

2015
The mighty RAM-XL sparked thecreation of the 1234, housing dual 12"
drivers and a large DCW. More powerfulstill was the 1236 – the Genelec SAM
flagship, delivering more than 130 dB
and extending below 20 Hz.

The 1238AC and 1234AC are centre
channel monitors designed for the mostdemanding applications.
Updated version of the 1238CF, the1238DF allow it to partner with an accompanying subwoofer to deliver main
monitor performance in rooms where
space is at a real premium.
A world’s first, the Genelec 8430 IP allows direct monitoring of Audio-over-IP(AoIP) streams supporting the industry
standard AES67.

dB, is the Genelec’s most powerfulsubwoofer to date.

2019
The 1235A brought the sound andheritage of the iconic 1035 into themodern recording age. High SPL
capability and precise imaging cometogether in a main monitor that adapts
to the room.
The 8351B with the revolutional
three-way monitor design, introduced
in 2014, has an unique look, compact
size and a performance that has to beheard to be believed.
The new flagship of The Ones range,
the 8361A offers the most advanced
acoustic performance of any studio
monitor.

The Ones - Ultimate Point Source Monitors
Positioning of microphones determines the outcome of arecording, and movements less than a finger’s width canmean a significant difference. Microphone placement,
understandably, is based on listening, which in turnrequires an equal amount of accuracy. Audio mixing andmastering are other critical phases where trust in what you
hear is essential for setting level, pan, EQ, effects, depth
and balance. These are fundamental aspects of how wella track or program translates to other rooms and playback
conditions.
Traditional monitoring loudspeakers have separate
independent drivers that generate crossover colouration
off-axis – forcing a critical listener to sit at a specific spot,
not moving the head. A point source monitor has therefore
long been regarded the holy grail of monitor design.
However, if not properly designed, point source camewith disadvantages; for instance limited frequency range,

low SPL, uneven dispersion or discontinuities causing
distortion, to name a few.
THE ONES are uncompromised three-way point source
monitors that not only promote faster and more consistentproduction decision making, but also longer listening timethan a traditional monitor, because unnatural imaging, amain contributor to listener fatigue, is minimised. Dispersion
is controlled over an unusually wide frequency range
thanks to the large integrated waveguide and the hidden
dual woofer design.
For all applications calling for precision imaging, extended
frequency response, short to medium listening distance orlong, fatigue-free working hours, these compact three-way
monitors are in an elite league of their own.

Build, Calibrate and Manage Your Systems
Monitors change spectral balance depending on placement ina room, and therefore need to be aligned and calibrated after
positioning to ensure proper and reliable listening conditions.
Genelec monitors have long featured DIP switches to compensate
for placement, but new SAM monitors enable automated, moreaccurate and objective adjustments allowing true reference
listening under previously intolerable conditions.
Use the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) application on a
PC or Mac to build and calibrate a monitor system consisting of
THE ONES and other Smart Active Monitors. When setting up, thesame physical monitors may be used in more than one system.
Creating a monitoring setup is easy with GLM software - justposition monitor icons on the GLM layout grid. In the example
shown below, you could quickly switch between six calibrated
systems: mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 7.1.2 and 7.1.4, and toengage bass management to a subwoofer.

Systems can be easily level-calibrated to compliance with thelatest broadcast and film industry standards, and delay is inserted
in each monitor to compensate for distance differences to thelistening position. Finally, one or more subwoofers can be added,
and the entire audio system quickly adjusted for personal spectral
preferences, if required.
Drawn from decades’ worth of data gathered from thousandsof studios, Genelec’s GLM software is combined with Genelec
AutoCal, a proprietary and continuously developing expert
algorithm that aligns levels, distances and compensated room
effects in the frequency responses for all monitors on the
GLM management network.

Ideal for Small Spaces
Demanding audio productions are created in ever shrinking monitoring
spaces. These constrained environments have uneven low frequency
responses, increased sound colouration and large acoustical differences
between rooms. In-situ calibration and ultra near-field capability are two
reasons why THE ONES cope extraordinarily well with these challenges.
Furthermore, their maximum size waveguide covering the entire front,
and maximum internal volume due to a rib-damped aluminium enclosure
make the most of limited space, regardless of whether these monitors
are used in horizontal or vertical mode.
THE ONES’ design will satisfy your eyes and ears no matter how youorientate them.

The W371 Adaptive Woofer System features two independent woofers in acoustically different
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 theW371 offering three different operating modes to yield a choice of either flat and neutral LF response
avoiding room-induced peaks and notches plus increased maximum SPL, or continued directivityof the main monitor down to the lowest LF frequencies, or reduction of detrimental reflections by
the walls, ceiling or floor. 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 themonitor location and listening position.

GLM™ Kit

If you’ve ever been frustrated that your mixes don’t translate wellto other systems, it’s because your monitors and your room are interacting to produce a frequency response that can be far from theneutral and smooth response that you need to create a great mix.
GLM software tightly integrates with all SAM monitors and subwoofers, and the Genelec GLM Kit allows your acoustic environment to be analysed, after which GLM’s AutoCal feature optimises
each monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover phaseand room response equalisation, with the option for you to further
fine tune the system. By minimising the room’s influence on the• Optimise, combine and switch between Genelec monitors tomake the most of your room environment.

GLM System - Quick Start
1) Download and install the GLM software fromwww.genelec.com and connect the GLM Network Adapter.

2) Place your monitoring system and connect each monitor to the
GLM network in a chain manner, regardless of the connecting order.

www.genelec.com

3) Place the Genelec measurement microphone at the listening
position at typical ear height and connect it to the GLM Network
Adapter.

4) Start the GLM software and follow the instructions in order todefine your monitors’ location and setup configuration.

5) Follow the instructions to automatically calibrate the system using one or more measurement positions.
Once the calibration is done, you can use the GLM software to control your monitoring system conveniently. If needed, you can also store all
settings in individual Smart monitors and Smart subwoofers and disconnect the GLM network.

Listening Distance and 				Sound Pressure Level

Room volume
Room reverbation time (RT60)
Short-term sound pressure levels
Maximum short-term sine wave sound pressure levelaveraged from 100 Hz to 3 kHz, measured in half-space,on-axis. Peak levels are higher. This number tends to underestimate headroom by 4 dB, based on typical immersive
standards and audio content. For more detailed information,please contact Genelec.
Long-term sound pressure levels
Maximum long-term RMS sound pressure level, measured
in half-space, on-axis, with simulated programme signal
according to IEC 60268-5 (limited by driver unit protection
circuit).

		 Listening Distances and SPL		The short-term and long-term sound pressure levels (SPL)
listed take into consideration the typical room volume andreverberation time for each monitor (right margin, basedon ITU-R BS.1116). If the reverberation time is longer, it will
mainly affect the long-term SPL that will be higher thanshown.
		
Not Recommended Distances
When the distance to the monitor is too short, summing ofsound from multiple drivers is not happening as designed.

Direct Sound DominanceRoom volume

SAM Monitor Models

Room reverbation time (RT60)
		
Not Recommended Distances
When the distance to the monitor is too short, summing ofsound from multiple drivers is not happening as designed,
and this affects the flatness of the frequency response. A
flatter and more stable frequency response is obtained by alarger distance.

8320A
8330A
8340A
8350A

		 Direct Sound Dominates		Within this distance the direct sound from the monitor has ahigher level than the reverberant sound in the room. Placing
the monitor within this distance range is advantageous in
minimizing the tendency of the room reverberation to change
the character of the monitored sound colour and affect the
precision of stereo imaging. The level of the direct soundrelative to the reverberant sound progressively reduces as
the distance to the monitor increases.

8331A
8341A
8351B
8361A

Critical distance		
The critical distance is the distance where the direct soundfrom the monitor and the reverberant sound in the room
have equal level in midrange frequencies (approximately
between 200 Hz and 4 kHz). The critical distance is affectedby the room volume, the room reverberation time (referred to
ITU-R BS.1116-1 Recommendation), and the directivity of themonitor.

1032C
S360A
1237A

Reverberant sound dominates		At these distances the reverberant sound in the room
has a higher level than the direct sound from the monitor.
This balance progressively increases as the distance fromthe monitor increases. The monitor can be used in these
distances, but the sound character is strongly affected by
the reverberation characteristics of the room, and this has
a progressively increasing effect on the sound colour andstereo imaging accuracy.
