Advanced Use of GLM
GLM is the most powerful tool available to calibrate and control a Genelec SAM monitoring system.
The following chapters introduce advanced use of the GLM.
Maximum Number of Groups
Each system setup file can contain up to five (5) groups. You can create new groups with the
‘Group | Add Group’ menu command or the ‘Group | Duplicate Group’ menu command.
If you need more than five group definitions, we recommend creating a second system setup file
for more groups. You can move between system setup files using the ‘File | Open’ menu
command.
Creating a New System Setup File
A new system setup file is created by selecting the ‘File | New’ menu command. This starts the
system definition process where you create new groups and then run the AutoCal calibration for
the new groups. Finally, you can store the new system setup file on your computer hard drive with
any suitable name.
To create a new system setup file, you can alternatively save a copy of the current system setup
with the ‘File | Save as…’ command, and then edit this new copy as needed.
Solo and Mute Pop-Up Window Controls
Solo means that only the soloed monitors reproduce audio while others are muted. Mute means
that the selected monitors are muted and do not play audio.
Solo and mute can be activated for each monitor and subwoofer. A pop-up menu for these controls
opens when right-clicking a monitor or subwoofer icon. Solo and Mute states can be cleared in the
menu by selecting ‘Play all’. Solo and Mute states are also cleared when the group is changed.
Bass Management Bypass Button
When this button is active the low frequencies are driven to monitors instead of being sent to a
subwoofer. This enables you to understand the impact of using the bass management and driving
the low frequencies to the subwoofer. Bass Management bypass can be used to check how mixes
behave when the subwoofer is bypassed.
The Bass Management Bypass button is visible if there is a subwoofer in the group.
Menu Commands
The GLM main window contains a set of menu commands enabling system management. The
GLM main window enables you to manage the monitoring system.
