Genelec web site (www.genelec.com/glm). The
GLM 2.0 User Kit is needed for the setup. The User
Kit contains the GLM Adapter and GLM measure-
ment microphone.
The GLM Adapter is connected to the computer
USB port and the GLM network. The GLM measure-
ment microphone is placed at the listening location.
Execute the setup process in the GLM software
to align and set up the Smart Active Monitors and
Subwoofers as a system. After calibration, keep
the computer connected to maintain the settings
or save the settings to the Smart Active Monitors
using the GLM software.
ISS
TM
Autostart Function
Intelligent Signal Sensing
TM
(ISS
TM
) enables very low
standby power consumption, less than 0.5 watts.
As a factory default, the ISS function is disabled.
The ISS function can be enabled by clicking the
“ISS Power Saving” pulldown menu in the GLM
software. This menu also provides a selection of
the time before entering standby. The playback re-
sumes once an input signal is detected. There is a
slight delay before playback resumes.
Mounting Considerations
Align the Monitors Correctly
Place and point the monitors so that their acoustic
axes (see figure 1) are aimed towards the listening
position. Vertical orientation is preferred, as this mini-
mises the sound colour change around the crossover
frequency when the listener is moving horizontally.
Maintain Symmetry
Place the monitors at an equal distance from the
listening position and symmetrically relative to the
room walls. Place the listening position on the room
front-back centreline and the monitors at an equal
distance from this centreline.
Minimise Reflections
Acoustic reflections are created by objects close
to the monitors. Such objects can be desks, cabi-
nets, computer monitors etc. Acoustic reflections
can cause unwanted sound colouration and sound
image instability. These can be minimised by plac-
ing the monitors and the listening position clear of
reflective surfaces.
Minimum Clearances
Sufficient clearance for amplifier cooling and reflex
port function must be ensured. The surroundings
of the monitor must be open to the listening room
with a minimum clearance of 3 centimeters (1
3
/
16
in) behind, above, and on both sides of the moni-
tor. The ambient temperature may not rise above 35
degrees Celsius (95°F.)
Mounting Options
The Genelec 8320A and 8330A offer several mount-
ing options: The Iso-Pod™ (Isolation Positioner/De-
coupler™) vibration insulating stand allows tilting of
the monitor to correctly align the acoustic axis. The
bottom of the monitor has a 3/8 in UNC threaded
hole compatible with a standard microphone stand.
The rear has two M6 x 10 mm threaded inserts for
wall or ceiling mount brackets. Genelec offers a wide
variety of mounting accessories. Please consult
Genelec web site or your nearest Genelec dealer.
Maintenance
No user serviceable parts are inside the monitor.
Maintenance and repair must only be undertaken
by qualified service personnel.
