Genelec 8340A Bi-Amplified Smart Active Monitor, Dark Grey (Single)

The Genelec 8340A has quickly established itself as the trusted monitoring choice of facilities worldwide.Boasting a 6 1/2 inch woofer plus Genelec's most efficient Class-D amplification to date, the two-way, Class D bi-amplified 8340A monitor represents a finely balanced union of acoustic expertise and SAM™ innovation.

At the heart of the system is an acoustic design shaped by decades of innovation and expertise. Capable of supporting extremely high sound pressure levels, the 8340A features a reflex port design for low-frequency enhancement, plus the colour-free accuracy of the Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™), and on- and off-axis precision thanks to the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™). All this is coupled to the versatility of SAM. Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) 2.0 software allows for the fine adjustment of all monitor settings, while AutoCal™ compensates for detrimental room influences to perfectly calibrate your set-up for your listening environment, no matter if you work in simple stereo or ambitious immersive audio.

The result is the most advanced adaptable monitoring solution available, ideal for all applications including recording studios, post-production houses, digital edit suites, radio, TV and outside broadcasting.

Genelec GLM 3.0 Genelec Loudspeaker Manager User Kit

The Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) software is one part of the GLM system which is a highly intuitive and powerful monitor control networking system that manages connectivity to all Genelec SAM™ studio monitors and subwoofers on the Genelec network – up to 30. The complete GLM control system includes a Genelec measurement microphone and universal microphone holder, a network adapter unit and the GLM software.

IIf you've ever been frustrated that your mixes don't translate well to other systems, it's because your monitors and your room are interacting to produce a frequency response that can be far from the neutral and smooth response that you need to create a great mix.

GLM 3 software tightly integrates with the advanced internal DSP circuitry which a growing family of Genelec SAM monitors and subwoofers is equipped with, from the tiny 8320 to the massive 1236A. GLM 3's reference microphone kit allows your acoustic environment to be analysed, after which GLM 3's AutoCal feature optimises each monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover phase and room response equalisation, with the option for you to further fine tune the system. By minimising the room's influence on the sound, GLM 3 helps Genelec monitors deliver an unrivalled reference, with excellent translation between rooms.

With GLM 3 you can…
• Manage and control up to 45 SAM monitors and subwoofers.
• Easily and swiftly create systems to suit all types of stereo, multiple stereo, multichannel or 3D immersive audio formats.
• Optimise, combine and switch between Genelec monitors to make the most of the environment in which you are working.
• Use AutoCal to achieve neutral sound reproduction. Accurate and stable sound stage imaging is delivered thanks to adjustments of levels, distance delays, subwoofer crossover phase and room response compensation equalisation.
• Use the personalisation feature to customise your preferred response - without sacrificing predictability.
• Submit your GLM files to our Cloud Helpdesk facility to access online expert support and advice.
• Calibrate listening levels to loudness standards, such as ATSC A/85 and EBU R128, without the need for a high quality external monitor controller or other measurement tools.
• Take advantage of GLM Cloud services anywhere and anytime – providing a secure back-up and instant access to the very latest software updates and standards.
• Manage levels with the GLM master fader calibrated in relative dB or absolute SPL scale, or with external wired or wireless level controllers available as accessories.
• Store calibration settings for different listening positions then instantly recall them as required during production.
• Create and recall customised response curves and analogue or digital inputs.
• Enjoy the benefits of repeatable and consistent performance, enabling accurate monitoring in any production environment.
