Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) 4 - System Operating Manual

6.7 By-passing bass management
The bass management system directs the low frequencies to subwoofer(s), enabling more flexible
monitor placement and improved low frequency consistency in the room.
In some cases, we want to temporarily bypass the bass management processing and direct all
frequencies to the monitors, including the low bass frequencies. When the ‘Bass Man’ button is
active, all frequencies are directed to the monitors. The subwoofer(s) only output the LFE channel
content in that situation.
6.8 Calibrated/Not Calibrated button
The GLM AutoCal status is indicated on the ‘Calibrated’ button. This button also allows temporary
disabling or bypass of the system acoustic calibration settings, by pressing the ‘Calibrated’ button.
When bypassed the text in this button changes to say ‘Cal bypassed’. Pressing the button again
resumes normal operation.
This control becomes available once the GLM AutoCal has been completed on a group. When a
group has not been calibrated, this button reads ‘Not calibrated’.
6.9 Solo/mute/info/edit drop-down selection
The drop-down selection allows actions on individual monitors and subwoofers in the central
hexagonal hive, showing all the monitors and subwoofers in the current group.
The functions for individual monitors and subwoofers include
solo – only this monitor plays, multiple monitors can be soloed simultaneously
mute – individual monitor is muted
info – selected monitor settings and status is shown in an info box; this box allows
loudspeaker/subwoofer firmware updates
edit – all acoustic calibration settings inside a monitor or subwoofer are opened into an
editor window; multiple settings windows can be opened; editing the settings affects the
selected monitor only
These functions can be also accessed with a right mouse click.
6.10 GLM Adapter icon
The main page shows an icon for the GLM Adapter. Right-click accesses a ‘show info’ function and
this can open all settings and the status in the GLM Adapter. Also, the Adapter firmware can be
updated using this window.
6.11 ‘Play All’ button
Pressing this button resumes normal operation for the currently selected group. This removes all
mute and solo settings set for the individual monitors and subwoofers.
