Introduction
Congratulations and a thank you for the purchase of this
Genelec Smart Active Monitor™ (SAM™) system. This manual
addresses the stand-alone setup and use of the 1032C SAM
monitor. This monitors can also be set up and used with the
Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary
Genelec monitor control network and software, offering much
more versatile acoustic settings and features. Use with the
GLM™ is described in the GLM™ System Operating Manual.
All Genelec SAM systems are designed to integrate easily
into all professional environments, supporting both standard
analog line level audio and AES/EBU formatted digital audio
signals.
The 1032C is suitable for professional monitoring tasks
demanding high precision and reliability of monitoring.
The Directivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) technology
provides excellent frequency balance even in difficult acoustic
environments.
Each monitor is supplied with a mains cable, one 5 m GLM
network cable and an operating manual.
Energy saving Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) can be turned
on to put the monitor automatically into a deep sleep state
where the product consumes less than one Watt of power. Upon
sensing an input signal the monitor automatically wakes up to
full operation. The wait until entering the ISS power save can be
configured using the GLM software. When the ISS is active you
can have your monitoring system ready for action at all times.
System setup using GLM™ Control
Network
Although the 1032C can be used without the GLM™ software
and control network, they only reach their full potential when
set up and calibrated using the GLM™ software. Genelec
Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary Genelec
monitor control network and software offer automated acoustic
equalization and alignment for any reproduction system from
simple stereo to very complex 3D immersive audio setups
2
including also one or more subwoofers. GLM setup is fast and
accurate. The settings can be controlled with a computer or be
permanently stored in the monitors to make the setup available
at all times even when a computer is not in use. Genelec
recommends setting up SAM monitoring systems using GLM.
You can find a detailed description of the setup and the use of
GLM™ in the GLM™ System Operating Manual.
The setup is fast and consists of the following steps:
• Connect a CAT5 (RJ45) cable between each monitor (and
subwoofer) and finally to the control network input of the
GLM Adapter device (see Figure 1).
• Connect the GLM Adapter device to computer USB
connector.
• Using a microphone stand, place the Genelec measurement
microphone at the listening location with the microphone
pointing upwards and the microphone top at the height of the
engineer’s ear. The microphone is a part of the GLM User Kit.
• Connect the microphone cable to the microphone input in
the GLM Adapter device.
• Download the GLM software at the Genelec web site (www.
genelec.com).
• Install the GLM software and follow the instructions in the
software to measure and set up your monitors.
• If you plan to not use a computer for controlling the
monitors, use the GLM software to write the setting into the
monitors (use menu item “Store | Store the Current Group
Settings…”).
While the GLM network is disconnected the settings stored
using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software can be
selected in use by setting the STORED switch ON.
Setup without using the GLM
When GLM is not available, you can use the settings on the
monitor for system setup. These settings are limited but provide
the basic acoustical calibrations and input selection. To use this
method, set the STORED switch OFF.

Figure 2. Connectors and controls on the back panel of a
1032C.
Connect the MAINS INPUT to the mains supply. These
products support any mains voltage globally (100-240 VAC,
50-60 Hz) so they can be plugged in anywhere. If the mains
power is provided with a generator, inverter or certain lowerquality UPS devices, we recommend filtering of the mains
power voltage harmonics and taking care that the voltage
supply is stable.
Figure 3. Connector panel detail.
The ANALOG IN connector is used for analog audio signals. The
maximum input level is +25 dBu. The 1032C produces 100 dB
SPL sound level at 1 meter in free space for an analogue input
signal of -6 dBu.
The DIGITAL IN AES/EBU female XLR connector is for AES/
EBU formatted digital audio input signals. This input is selected
automatically when a valid digital audio signal is present. Analog
input is selected when the AES/EBU signal input is disconnected.
The AES/EBU input supports two channels in a single cable).
When the digital source device controls the digital output level, it
may be advantageous to lower the level on the monitor’s controls,
which will enable the use of a higher digital signal level with more
digital resolution. With digital inputs the audio is referenced to
0 dBFS (dB relative to the digital full scale, the largest level that
can be represented in the AES/EBU signal). The 1032C produces
100 dB SPL sound level at 1 meter in free space for a digital
input signal of –30 dBFS. The DIGITAL OUT male XLR carries an
unaltered copy of the digital signal fed into the digital in connector.
This enables daisy-chaining up to four monitors.

Stand-Alone Control Functions
Bass Roll-Off Control
Bass Roll-Off control attenuates the monitor’s output near the
cut-off frequency. Attenuation levels of -2 dB, -4 dB or -6 dB
(both switches ON) can be selected.
Desktop 160 Hz
The desktop low frequency control (switch 5) attenuates the
bass frequencies around 160 Hz by 4 dB. This feature is designed to compensate for the boost often occurring at this frequency range when the monitor is placed upon a meter bridge,
table or similar reflective surface.
Bass Tilt Control
The Bass Tilt control switches (swiches 3 and 4) offer three attenuation levels for the bass response below 800 Hz, usually
necessary when the monitors are placed near room boundaries.
The attenuation levels are -2 dB, -4 dB and -6 dB
ON)
.
Treble Tilt Control
Treble Tilt control allows adjusting the treble response above 5
kHz by +2 dB, -2 dB or -4 dB, which can be used for correcting
an excessively bright or dull sounding system or to compensate
for high frequency level loss if the monitor is placed behind a
screen. The -2 dB setting is selected by turning both switches
to “ON.”

ISS
This switch activates or deactivates the ISS automatic power
saving function.
The default time for ISS activation is 60
minutes, but can be adjusted in GLM.
Digital
The Digital switch selects the digital audio channels on the
AES/EBU. Turning both switches on reproduces the sum of the
A and B channels. A 6 dB of attenuation is applied to avoid
overloading the monitor. If the AES/EBU cable is operated in
dual-wire mode, the monitor detects this automatically and the
channel selection switches have no effect.
Level
The Level switches scale down the monitor output level in 10 dB
steps. The effects of these switches add up and combine with
the effect of the rotary level adjustment control. The combined
total setting range is -42 dB.
LED Disable
This switch shuts off the front panel LED light.

Operating Environment
These monitors are designed for indoor use only. The permissible
ambient temperature is 15-35 degrees Celsius (50-95°F) and
relative humidity 20% to 80% (non-condensing). When the
product has been stored or transported in cool environment and
is taken into a warm room, wait 0.5-1 hours before opening any
packing to prevent condensation of humidity before connecting
to mains power. Sufficient cooling must be ensured. The
minimum clearance is 50 mm (2 in) behind, above and on both
sides of the monitor. The space must be ventilated sufficiently
to dissipate the heat.
Mounting and Placing Monitors
Mounting Options
Aim the monitor so that its acoustic axis point towards the
listening position (see Figure 3). Vertical orientation is preferable,
as this eliminates acoustical cancellation problems around
the crossover frequency. Place the monitors symmetrically at
equal distances from the listening position. If possible, place
the listening position on the left-right centerline of the room
(see Figure 4). When a monitor is placed far away (1 to 2.2 m,
3-7 ft) from the acoustically hard wall behind the monitor, an
acoustic reflection from the wall may cause cancellation of low
frequencies and reduce bass output.
Acoustic reflections from objects like desks, cabinets, computer
monitors etc. can cause unwanted colouration and blurring of
the sound image. Minimise these by placing the monitors away
from acoustically reflective surfaces. Putting the monitors on
stands behind and above a mixing console usually improves the
response over placing monitors on a meter bridge. Symmetrical
positioning of the sound reflecting objects maintains a balanced
soundstage (see Figure 4).
Front Panel Light
Normally, the light on the front panel is green, indicating normal
operational mode. Red and yellow colours are used to indicate
special situations. See Table 2 above.
Use with Subwoofers
Genelec recommends using the 7300 series subwoofers. For
more detailed system configuration and matching products,
please consult the on-line Genelec Product Selection Tool at
www.genelec.com.
