Genelec GLM Calibration Kit 8300-601 – Precision Studio Calibration System for Genelec SAM Monitors Genelec GLM Calibration Kit 8300-601 – Precision Studio Calibration System for Genelec SAM Monitors for Smart Acoustic Calibration of Genelec SAM Systems The GLM Calibration Kit 8300-601 (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) is an advanced calibration solution designed to optimize Genelec SAM™, The Ones, and 4000/8000 Series monitors. Tailored for audio professionals in music production, post‑production, immersive audio, and broadcast, this kit ensures reference‑grade accuracy through intelligent room adaptation. By analyzing the acoustic characteristics of your listening environment, GLM delivers automated level balancing, time alignment, frequency response correction, and crossover optimization, establishing a precise and consistent monitoring setup. Key Features Full Adaptive CalibrationAutomatically analyzes room acoustics using included measurement microphone and interface, then adjusts levels, timing, frequency response, and crossover settings for all connected SAM speakers. Comprehensive Calibration MicrophoneIncludes a precision-calibrated measurement mic designed for near‑field and mid‑field calibration, compatible with Genelec’s DSP processing. GLM Software SuiteWindows and macOS-compatible application provides a step‑by‑step calibration workflow with visual feedback via real‑time graphs and filters. Multi‑Channel SupportHandles stereo, surround, and immersive configurations with automatic management of time delays and level matching for up to 38 speakers. Networked CommunicationConnects speakers via standard RJ45 Cat‑5/6 for rapid configuration and updates, eliminating the need for direct analog or digital audio rewiring. Custom Room Acoustic InsightPost‑calibration reports outline corrective EQ filters, room resonances, and optimal speaker positions—a valuable guide for room acoustic treatment. Save and Recall ConfigurationsSaves multiple target settings per environment, ideal for drop-in/drop-out or multi‑purpose studio spaces. Technical Specifications Parameter Specification Measurement Microphone Omnidirectional, pre‑polarized condenser designed for Genelec calibration Microphone Connector XLR, phantom‑powered Calibration Interface USB 2.0 8-channel interface with RJ45 speaker outputs Supported Systems Genelec SAM monitors (The Ones, 4000/8000 Series), 48 kHz fixed sample rate Software Compatibility Windows (64‑bit), macOS Maximum Speakers Supported Up to 38 networked SAM units Calibration Range Between 18 Hz and 20 kHz Workflow Guided setup, auto‑measurement, auto‑filtering, graph displays, manual adjustment options Power Supply Phantom power via USB for microphone; USB‑powered interface (no external PSU) Weight & Form Factor Compact mic rosette and USB hub for convenient placement on desk or mic stand Performance Overview The GLM Calibration Kit is engineered to deliver reference‑grade monitoring accuracy within any control environment. Upon launch, GLM collects acoustic measurements from multiple optimal listening positions. Then, with the analytical precision, it applies time‑aligned delays, level trims, and parametric EQ filters to each speaker. The result is a flat target frequency response within ±1 dB, with time coherence maintained across all channels. For multichannel and immersive setups, GLM seamlessly manages speaker grouping and crossovers, offering integrity across the sound field. Whether you’re mixing an album, editing video, or designing immersive sound beds, GLM ensures that what you hear is true and uncolored by room anomalies. Typical Use Cases Professional Music StudiosOptimizes the low-end clarity and mid/high-frequency accuracy in near-field or mid-field setups. Film & Post‑Production SuitesEssential for aligning LCR configurations, subwoofers, and surround arrays to theatrical standards. Immersive Audio SystemsSupports automated calibration for Dolby Atmos, Auro, or 3D audio formats—up to 38 loudspeakers. Broadcast Control RoomsDelivers consistent tonal balance and imaging, critical for long sessions and regulatory specifications.
