Introduction

Congratulations and a thank-you for the purchase of this Genel­ec SAM system. All Genelec SAM systems are designed to in­tegrate easily into the digital production environment. There are
several ways to configure and operate SAM systems for a wide
variety of high quality audio applications. The SAM monitors
also have analog inputs, making them versatile and intelligent
replacements for standard analog monitors.

This manual addresses the setup and use of the 8240A, 8250A,
8351A and 8260A SAM monitors in stand-alone mode without
the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary
Genelec monitor control network. Use with the GLM™ is de­scribed in the GLM™ System Operating Manual.

System

Genelec 8240A, 8250A, 8351A and 8260A are designed for
precise monitoring of 24 bit/192 kHz AES/EBU digital audio sig­nal or line level analog audio signal. They are fully compatible
with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary
Genelec monitor control network, and Genelec 7260A, 7270A
and 7271A SAM Subwoofers, but can also be used indepen­dently of these. The 8240A, 8250A, 8351A and 8260A feature
high SPL output, low colouration and broad bandwidth in a small
enclosure size. They are suitable for a wide variety of tasks,
such as near field monitoring, mobile vans, broadcast and TV
control rooms, multichannel sound systems and home studios.
The Minimum Diffraction Enclosure™ (MDE™), advanced Di­rectivity Control Waveguide™ (DCW™) and Minimum Diffrac­tion Coaxial (MDC™) technologies provide excellent frequency
balance even in difficult acoustic environments.

Amplifiers

The amplifier unit is mounted in the rear of the monitor enclosure.
The unit incorporates special circuitry for driver thermal overload
protection. Variable input sensitivity allows accurate level match­ing to console output section.

7. Follow the GLM software instructions to measure and set
up your monitors.

8. If you plan to not use a computer for controlling the moni­tors, use the GLM software to write the setting into the moni­tors (“Store the Settings”).

Using the Monitors in Stand-Alone Mode

When the monitors are not connected to a Genelec monitor con­trol network, they operate in the stand-alone mode. However, set­tings made with the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software can
be saved into each monitor and applied even when the network
is disconnected by setting switch 1 “STORED/MANUAL CON­TROL” on switch group 2 of each monitor to position “STORED.”

All issues concerning use with the network are explained in detail
in the System Operating Manual provided with the GLM™ Loud­speaker Manager software kit.

Connections

Each monitor is supplied with a mains cable, one 5 m GLM net­work cable and an operating manual. Before connecting up, en­sure that the mains switch is off.

“MAINS INPUT” Connector

Connect the mains supply to this connector.

“DIGITAL IN AES/EBU” Connector

Use this female XLR connector for AES/EBU formatted digital
audio input signals. This input is selected automatically when a
valid digital audio signal is present, and overrides the analog in­put.

Depending on the digital hardware, transmission of a 192 kHz
sample rate is achieved using a double speed, single channel/
cable interface. This is called dual-wire mode. In this case one
cable per channel is used and no channel selection is required.
Dual-wire mode is automatically detected by the input stage.

If the digital source device has a volume fader that controls the
digital level, it may be advantageous to lower the level control
either on the computer interface or on the monitor’s back panel
controls, which in turn will force the use of more of the digital [bit]
resolution in the volume control.

If the digital inputs are used, all audio outputs are referenced to 0
dBFS (digital Full Scale, the largest level that may be represent­ed in the AES/EBU signal). These monitors produce 100 dB SPL
at 1 meter in free space for a digital input signal of –30 dB FS.

“DIGITAL THRU AES/EBU” Connector

This male XLR carries an unaltered copy of the digital signal fed
into the “DIGITAL IN AES/EBU” connector. It can be used for
daisy-chaining up to four monitors together.

level is +7.0 dBu RMS on models 8240A and 8250A and +22.0
dBu RMS on models 8351A and 8260A. When A/D converter
input clip occurs the front panel light turns momentarily red, indi­cating the overload condition.

“CONTROL NETWORK” Connectors

Use these RJ-45 sockets to connect the monitor to the propri­etary Genelec Loudspeaker Manager™ (GLM™) network only.
This connector is not Ethernet LAN compatible. Do not connect
to Ethernet LAN.

“12 V REMOTE” Connector (8260A only)

You can set up remote controlled powering up and down of the
8260A with 12 V voltage connected to this connector. The mini­mum current needed to actuate this function is 70 mA.

Front Panel Warning Light

Normally the light on the front panel of a SAM monitor is green,
indicating that the monitor is in normal operational mode.

The overload light (red) is activated by several events:

•  exceeding the maximum input range of the analog input

•  the digital input level is less than 0.1 dB from the digital full

scale

•  exceeding the output capacity of the power amplifier
(clipping in the power amplifier) and thermal
overload of the power amplifier or drivers (thermal
protection has activated)

•  an error is detected in the AES/EBU audio data

“ANALOG IN” Connector

Use this connector for analog audio signals. The maximum input

data.

Mounting Considerations

Align the Monitors Correctly

Place the monitors so that their acoustic axes are aimed towards
the listening position (see Figure 3). Vertical placement is prefer-

able, as it minimises acoustical cancellation problems around the
crossover frequency.

Maintain Symmetry

Check that the monitors are placed symmetrically and at an
equal distance from the listening position. If possible, place the
system so that the listening position is on the centerline of the
room and the monitors are placed at an equal distance from the
centerline (See Figure 4).

Minimise Reflections

Acoustic reflections from objects close to the monitors like desks,
cabinets, computer monitors etc. can cause unwanted coloura­tion and blurring of the sound image. These can be minimised by
placing the monitor clear of reflective surfaces. For instance, put­ting the monitors on stands behind and above the mixing console
usually gives a better result than placing them on the meter bridge.
Symmetrical positioning of the reflective objects is also important
in order to maintain a balanced soundstage (See Figure 4).

Low Frequency Cancellations

In general, when a monitor’s front baffle is more than 0.3 meters
(1 foot) away from the wall behind the monitor, a reflection from
this wall can cause a cancellation of low frequencies and hence
reduction of bass output. Distances between 1 and 2.2 meters
(3-7 ft.) should be avoided (See Figure 5).

As a rule of thumb, the lower the low frequency cut-off the further
away the monitor must be placed from the wall in order to avoid
this phenomenon.

Distances to the ceiling and other walls may be shorter than the
distance to the wall behind a monitor. Reflections from these sur­faces may be important and should also be considered

Operating Environment

These monitors are designed for indoor use only. The permissa­ble ambient temperature is 15-35 degrees Celsius (50-95°F) and
permissable relative humidity between 20% and 80%. Humid­ity condensation on the product is not allowed during use. If the
product has been stored or transported in a cool environment
and then taken into a warm room, it must be allowed to warm up
completely before connecting to mains power.

Sufficient cooling for the amplifier and functioning of the reflex
port must be ensured if the monitor is installed in a restricted
space such as a cabinet, or integrated into a wall structure. The
surroundings of the monitor must always be open to the listening
room with a minimum clearance of 5 centimeters (2”) behind,
above and on both sides of the monitor. The space adjacent to
the monitor must either be ventilated or sufficiently large to dis­sipate heat so that the ambient temperature does not rise above
35 degrees Celsius (95°F).

can be used for securing the monitor to its base. Do not use this
thread for mounting the monitor on a microphone stand which
has a 3/8” UNC thread. A wide variety of ceiling and wall mounts
are available through your Genelec dealer.

Setting the Input Sensitivity

The monitor level sensitivity functions for both analog and digital
input. The sensitivity can be matched by adjusting the rotary Lev­el control together with the System Level switches located in the
switch group 2. (switches 6 and 7). The switches provide attenua­tion levels of -10 dB (sw. 6 ON), -20 dB (sw. 7 ON) and -30 dB (both
switches ON) The combined attenuation ranges from 0 to -42 dB.

Functions On Switch Group 1
(Tone Controls)

Switch group 1 (the upper switch group) comprises the tone
controls that can adjust the frequency response of the system in
stand-alone mode to match the acoustic environment.

Please note that the GLM software allows a much more versatile
and precise set of controls to be used and supports the fully
automatic system alignment feature, the Genelec AutoCal. Use
the tone control switches on the monitor only if GLM is not avail­able for the system calibration.

Mounting Options

The vibration insulating Isolation Positioner/Decoupler™ (Iso­Pod™) table stand allows tilting of the monitor for correct align­ment of the acoustic axis. The stand can be attached to three
mounting points allowing vertical and symmetrical horizontal
positioning.

Genelec 8240A, 8250A, 8351A and 8260A can be fitted to König
& Meyer monitor mounts on two sets of M6x10 mm threaded
holes on the back of the enclosure. On the base of the 8240A
and 8250A enclosure is an M10x10 mm threaded hole which

The controls are labelled “TREBLE TILT”, “BASS TILT”, “BASS
ROLL-OFF” and “DESKTOP”. The factory settings for these con­trols are all “OFF” to give a flat anechoic response. Note that these
controls have no effect when switch 1 “STORED/MANUAL CON­TROL” on switch group 2 is set to “STORED” or when the monitor
is connected to the Genelec monitor control network.

The use of an acoustic measurement system is recommended to
analyze the effects of the adjustments, however, careful listening
with suitable test recordings can also lead to good results if a test
system is not available. Start adjustment by setting all switches

to “OFF” position. Measure or listen systematically through the
different combinations of settings to find the best frequency bal­ance. See Table 1 for some typical settings.

Bass Roll-Off Control

Bass Roll-Off control (switches 1 and 2) attenuates its output
near the cut-off frequency. Attenuation levels of -2 dB (sw. 1
ON), -4 dB (sw. 2 ON) or -6 dB (both switches ON) can be se­lected.

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.

Desktop Low Frequency Control

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.

Treble Tilt Control

Treble Tilt control (switches 6 and 7) 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.

Figure 9. Switch Group 2

AES/EBU CH

This selects the audio channel(s) available on the AES/EBU
cable to be reproduced by the monitor. Turning both switches on
reproduces the sum of the two channels on the AES/EBU cable.
Turning both switches off mutes the monitor. When two channels
are selected, 6 dB of attenuation is automatically applied to avoid
overloading the monitor.

If the AES/EBU cable is operated in dual-wire mode, the moni­tor detects this situation automatically and the channel selection
switches have no effect.

Driver Mute

These two switches allow you to mute the treble driver (marking
“TW”) and bass driver (marking “WF”) independently. This may
be useful to diagnose if a transducer is faulty.

On the 8351A and 8260A the marking “TW” is replaced with
“COAX” and this switch mutes both the treble and midrange of
the coaxial driver unit.

System Lvl

These switches allow scaling down of the monitor output. The
signal sent to the “Thru” output connector is not affected. The
switches are additive, for example, “–30 dB” attenuation is
achieved by turning on the “–10 dB” and “–20 dB” switches. The
effect of these switches is combined with the effect of the rotary
level adjustment control. This results in total possible attenuation
of 42 dB, 30 dB by the system level switches and another 12 dB
by the rotary control.

Using the 7000 Series Analog Subwoofers
with SAM Monitors

Please follow the steps below to integrate an analog subwoofer
into a system of SAM monitors:

Functions On Switch Group 2

Stored / Manual Ctrl

“MANUAL CTRL” refers to controlling the monitor using the con­trols on the monitor’s back panel. The “STORED” refers to using
settings stored inside the memory of the monitor. These settings
are made using the GLM and the GLM Control Network. There
is additional functionality compared to that offered by the room
response correction switches on the back panel.
