The GLM software calibrates and controls Genelec SAM systems. The software can be
downloaded at www.genelec.com/glm. Look for the ‘GLM local AutoCal install package’.
In order to download, you will be asked to give your email address and some contact information.
This is very useful as it enables Genelec to support you later. It is not possible to download the
package without a valid email address. You will receive a download link into your personal email.
You must have sufficient rights to install the software in your computer. Install the software
following the instruction given by the software during the installation process. We recommend you
install the software on the local hard drive. There is no need to make any special destination
folders, GLM creates these automatically.
Install the package using the defaults in the installation package. Do not modify the install directory
as this will prevent correct operation.
4.5.1 Updating the ‘Mic Serial’ microphone calibration data
The Local AutoCal needs a microphone calibration file for the most accurate calibration result. In
order to obtain the microphone calibration file for your microphone, take the following steps
enter the microphone serial number in the ‘Mic Serial’ field – normally this is automatically
correct as this has been factory-stored inside the GLM Adapter
ensure that the ‘Local AutoCal’ mode is selected
ensure that the computer is connected to the Internet for the next step
run AutoCal once by clicking on the ‘Start Calibration’ – for this have at least one SAM
monitor and the GLM measurement microphone connected to the GLM Adapter
This step accesses the microphone calibration in your computer. After having done this, you can
continue running Local AutoCal without an Internet connection.
If your computer cannot be connected to the Internet even temporarily, please contact Genelec
customer service (
https://support.genelec.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
) and ask for your GLM
measurement microphone calibration file for the Local installation of GLM. We will email the file to
you. Replace the field <your_username> with your actual user name.
Copy the microphone calibration file into this folder in the Mac OS computer:
/Users/<your_username>/Documents/Genelec/GLM4/DSP/Microphone
Copy the microphone calibration file into this folder in the Windows computer:
C:\Users\<your_username>\Documents\Genelec\GLM4\DSP\Microphones
After this you can run the Local AutoCal calibration without having a connection to the Internet.
Please note that when you are running the Local AutoCal there is no way for Genelec to offer you
updates to the software you are running, including the Local AutoCal calculation algorithms.
