power is provided with a generator, inverter or certain lower-
quality UPS devices, we recommend filtering of the mains
power voltage harmonics and taking care that the voltage
supply is stable.
The ANALOG IN connector is used for analog audio signals. The
maximum input level is +25 dBu. These monitors produce 100
dB SPL sound level at 1 meter in free space for an analogue
input signal of -6 dBu.
The DIGITAL IN AES/EBU female XLR connector is for AES/
EBU formatted digital audio input signals. This input is selected
automatically when a valid digital audio signal is present.
Analog input is selected when the AES/EBU signal input is
disconnected. The AES/EBU input supports two channels in a
single cable). When the digital source device controls the digital
output level, it may be advantageous to lower the level on the
monitor’s controls, which will enable the use of a higher digital
signal level with more digital resolution. With digital inputs the
audio is referenced to 0 dBFS (dB relative to the digital full scale,
the largest level that can be represented in the AES/EBU signal).
These monitors produce 100 dB SPL sound level at 1 meter in
free space for a digital input signal of –30 dBFS. The DIGITAL
OUT male XLR carries an unaltered copy of the digital signal fed
into the digital in connector. This enables daisy-chaining up to
four monitors.
The CONTROL NETWORK RJ-45 connectors are used with
Genelec Loudspeaker Manager™ (GLM™) network. These
connectors are not Ethernet LAN compatible. Do not connect
to Ethernet LAN.
Stand-Alone Control Functions
Bass Roll-Off Control
Bass Roll-Off control attenuates the monitor’s output near the
cut-off frequency. Attenuation levels of -2 dB, -4 dB or -6 dB
(both switches ON) can be selected.
Desktop 160 Hz
The desktop low frequency control (switch 5) attenuates the
bass frequencies around 160 Hz by 4 dB. This feature is de-
signed to compensate for the boost often occurring at this fre-
quency range when the monitor is placed upon a meter bridge,
table or similar reflective surface.
Bass Tilt Control
The Bass Tilt control switches (swiches 3 and 4) offer three at-
tenuation levels for the bass response below 800 Hz, usually
