Setup Using The
GLM™ Control Network
Although the 8331A can be used without the GLM software and
control network, it can only reach its full potential when set up
and calibrated using GLM software, running on a Mac or PC.
Genelec therefore recommends setting up the 8331A
and other SAM monitors using GLM. You can find a detailed
description of the setup and the use in the GLM System
Operating Manual.
The GLM software and the proprietary Genelec monitor
control network offer automated acoustic equalization and
alignment for any reproduction system from mono over stereo
to complex 3D immersive audio setups, including also one or
more subwoofers. GLM includes AutoCal, an expert algorithm
built on data from thousands of professional listening rooms.
Setup with the GLM User Kit consists of the following steps:
1. Connect a CAT5 (RJ45) cable between each monitor (and
subwoofer) and finally to the control network input of the
GLM Adapter device (see Figure 1).
2. Connect the GLM Adapter to computer USB connector.
3. Using a microphone stand, place the Genelec measurement
microphone at the listening location with the microphone
pointing upwards and the microphone top at the height of
the engineer’s ear. The microphone is a part of the GLM
User Kit.
4. Connect the microphone cable to the microphone input in
the GLM Adapter device.
5. Download the GLM software at the Genelec web site (www.
