Group Name
A Group has a name. The name may tell what kind of
SAM Group is playing (e.g. ‘stereo’) or describe the
listening location (e.g. ‘mixing position’ or ‘producer’).
Input Signal Type
A group is configured for analog or AES/EBU digital
audio. Certain products only have analog or AES/EBU
digital inputs (e.g. 8320 and 7270). You cannot include
products in a group reproducing selected audio type
(analog or digital), if these specific products do not
have the correct input type available.

A group is configured for analog or AES/EBU digital audio. Certain products only have analog or
AES/EBU digital inputs. You cannot include products in a group reproducing selected audio type
(analog or digital), if these specific products do not have the correct input type available. If a
selected audio signal type is not supported by a monitor or subwoofer, it will be automatically
marked as not belonging to the group (we call this Group OFF and indicate it with a yellow glow
around the product in the GLM window and a yellow LED color showing on the actual product
(Note: If using SE7261 and 8130 monitors (non-SAM monitors), 8130 monitors indicates valid
digital signal with yellow LED).

AES/EBU subframe A and B selections
For AES/EBU digital audio, the channel assignment needs attention. Typically AES/EBU cables
carry two channels of audio, called subframes A and B. In a stereo system the subframe A is
usually assigned to the left channel and the subframe B to the right channel. A multichannel audio
presentation, using more than one digital audio cable, will split the channels into cables. The
correct selection is needed for each monitor and subwoofer.
GLM 2.0 defaults to the common AES/EBU channel assignments (subframe A is left, B is right).
To edit specific group settings for individual monitor or subwoofer, single-click on the monitor or
subwoofer icon. The icon starts to blink. Also the monitor blinks its green LED. A settings panel
opens. You can
•
rename the monitor to facilitate easy recognition
•
include or exclude a monitor in the group using the ‘Active In Group’ selection
