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.

™ and GLM.SE™ loudspeaker system management software packages.

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

DSP Monitoring Systems

The 8200 Series monitoring systems are designed for similar near-field

monitoring applications and acoustic environments as the 8000 Series

analog products, offering a wide range of performance benefits through

unique technologies, used and acclaimed in real-world audio productions.

The most critical listening conditions require the most advanced monitoring

tools. Customers with digital audio production environments can enjoy the

full benefits of new technologies with the 8200 Series.

To complement the 8200 DSP two-way systems, Genelec has developed

three robust DSP subwoofers. Built upon the proven LSE™ (Laminar Spiral

Enclosure™) technology, the 7260A, 7270A and 7271A deliver articulate

and precise low frequency reproduction.

With their four AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs the 7200 subwoofers

provide the cornerstone for monitoring room environments equipped with
