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
control network cables, GLM network adapter, GLM measurement microphone, and GLM 2.0
software.
To set up a Genelec SAM system,
•
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
•
download and install the GLM computer software
•
create a system setup in the GLM software
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 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.
Figure 1. Place monitors symmetrically relative to the walls. Point the acoustical axes towards the
listening position.
