4 Getting Started
To take full advantage of your Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) system it is important to become
familiar with all the components in the system.
To set up a monitoring system you will need monitors and subwoofers, audio signal cables, GLM
management network cables, GLM network adapter, GLM measurement microphone, and GLM 4
software.
To set up a Genelec SAM system,
check DIP switch controls of the SAM subwoofers and monitors. The ‘Stored’ switch,
if available, should be ON when to use the stored settings in the standalone use –
the stored settings come to force when the devices are re-powered up while the
‘Stored’ DIP is set to the right position
place SAM subwoofers and monitors in the monitoring room
run audio cables to the SAM subwoofers and monitors
run GLM network cables from the GLM adapter to all SAM subwoofers and monitors

4.1 Placing SAM monitors and subwoofers in the monitoring room
Try to place monitors and subwoofers in optimum locations in relation to surfaces reflecting audio.
Aim each SAM monitor towards the listening position. This becomes your System Layout.
1. Select the listening position so that distances from side walls (B) are equal.
2. Place monitors so that distances to the listening position are equal, and distances to the
monitors are equal from side walls (A).
3. Place a subwoofer at the front wall and a slightly left or right from the room centre axis.
4. Aim monitors towards the listening position.
