• The Genelec 8200 and 7200 loudspeaker systems
have utilized DSP to allow for all standard AES/EBU
formats of digital audio.

• The 8200/7200 Series will accept sampling rates
ranging from 32kHz to 192kHz.

• The 8200 Series will also accept traditional analog
signals and perform with all the features and benefits
of Genelec 8000 Series products.

• AutoCal is an automated loudspeaker system
alignment algorithm within GLM™ and GLM.SE™. A
factory-calibrated Genelec measurement microphone
is included.

• Correctly sets levels, distance compensating
delays, phase (for subwoofers) and room response
equalization.

• SinglePoint and MultiPoint microphone locations for
one, two, or three-person mixing environments.

• Interactive Response Editor provides visual readout
of measured and corrected response curves as well
as full manual editing of acoustic settings.

• Genelec Loudspeaker Manager™ (GLM™) is a
computer software that provides necessary control
of all loudspeakers on the network.

• Up to 25 loudspeakers and 5 subwoofers are definable
and controllable via standard CAT5 cabling.

• All functions and settings are stored in GLM System
Setup Files or directly into each loudspeaker.

• Genelec Loudspeaker Manager for Small
Environments (GLM.SE™) is a computer software
that provides complete control of the GLM.SE™
Monitoring System.

• Standard CAT5 cabling connects the host computer to
the SE7261A DSP subwoofer and up to eight 8130A
digital input monitors, connected to the subwoofer
with standard AES/EBU cabling.

• All functions and settings are stored in GLM System
Setup Files or directly into the SE7261A subwoofer.

Genelec DSP Monitoring Systems

Since the very beginning in 1978, Genelec Oy has provided tools in our products to assist in improving the acoustic integration

of the monitoring loudspeaker into real-world working environments. These tools are now an essential part of Genelec’s

pioneering active loudspeaker technology. Genelec has always measured, analyzed and calibrated its monitoring systems in

its own testing chambers as well as customers’ working environments.

It is well known that any listening room imparts its own signature on the response of any monitoring loudspeaker system. A

monitor is only as good as its acoustic integration into the room. The acoustic performance advances made in developing the

8000 MDE

and in customer control rooms. These solid acoustic foundations have been essential in taking the next step into the digital

world with the 8200, 7200, and GLM.SE

Harnessing DSP power in an attempt to improve the fundamental performance of a compromised loudspeaker design to

an acceptable level is hardly a worthwhile effort. A solid acoustic design complemented with enhancing DSP allows further

strengthening of the product performance. DSP also greatly expands the loudspeaker alignment toolset to reach greater accuracy

in acoustic calibration of monitoring systems. Consistency and ease of use are ensured by the fully automated room calibration

AutoCal™, a built-in property of the versatile GLM

Genelec’s DSP Systems are designed for wide ranging applications: post-production in film and video, broadcast environments

large and small, and the varied and demanding world of music recording, mixing and mastering. Among the many criteria,

the first and foremost in a Genelec DSP monitoring system, like any Genelec monitoring system, is that it must be robust and

reliable. It must also be versatile, adaptable, consistent and easy to use. Through these criteria, the Genelec DSP and SE

DSP loudspeaker systems take our customers further toward purity of sound reproduction while saving valuable time and

earning satisfied customers.

™ Series and 7000 LSE™ Series products have provided significant performance gains, both in the test chamber

™ monitoring systems.

AutoCal™ – Fast, easy and consistent acoustic self-calibration

AutoCal™ provides the industry’s first integrated process
for complete automated measurement, analysis, and
adjustment of every monitoring loudspeaker in the control
network to correctly align and integrate each monitoring
loudspeaker into the mixing environment.

• Uses factory-calibrated Genelec acoustic
measurement microphone (included)

• AutoCal automatically creates a
compensation file for host soundcard

• AutoCal aligns Level and
compensates Distance differences

• Acoustic Response Editor provides

accurate graphical display of the

measured response, filter compensation

and the resulting system response for

each loudspeaker, with full manual

control of acoustic settings

• SinglePoint™ and MultiPoint™
microphone positions provide
measurements for one, two or three-

person mixing environments

In GLM™ System

• 8200 Series loudspeaker can utilize four parametric DSP notch filters

and four parametric DSP shelving filters

• 7200 subwoofers utilize four parametric DSP notch filters, plus bass roll

off controls

• Adjusts correct crossover phase for all subwoofers in the network

• Vertical Axis Trim for situations where loudspeaker acoustic axis cannot

be physically optimized

In GLM.SE™ System

• 8130A digital input loudspeaker can utilize two parametric DSP notch

filters, plus the room response controls in the loudspeaker hardware

• SE7261A subwoofer utilizes four parametric DSP notch filters, plus bass

roll off controls

• Adjusts correct crossover phase for SE7261A subwoofer on the

network

The Interactive Response Editor window shows the original frequency response,
correction curve created by AutoCal™ and the final, corrected response.

The Loudspeaker Acoustical Setup Editor window can be used to view and edit
the settings of a loudspeaker.
