1032C

Smart Active Monitor

Operating Manual

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.
