Genelec celebrates its 15th anniversary with its new management software GLM 4.1

After fifteen years of digital processing in studio monitors, Genelec has introduced the GLM version 4.1, compatible with all your SAM equipment and subwoofers.

The update 4.1 of monitor management software GLM of Genelec Offers improvements and new features thanks to the new generation of the automatic calibration algorithm, that provides a more accurate frequency response in a shorter time.

Based on data from thousands of real-world calibrations, GLM 4.1 Gives the user greater control over the negative influence of room acoustics, generating mixes that sound more consistently in other rooms and playback systems.

After his debut in 2006 and based on decades of research, GLM integrates seamlessly with the intelligent digital processing in every monitor and subwoofer Genelec SAM, allowing each component of the system to be linked, Individually configured and calibrated in the user's specific acoustic environment.

The GLM's reference microphone allows you to accurately measure the impulse response of the room in different possible listening positions, after which each monitor and subwoofer is individually adjusted in level and time in relation to the other components of the SAM system.

After completing the Self-calibration, The user has several customization options if required, including calibration of the listening level in dB SPL, according to different standards used in film industries, Broadcast, streaming, Etc.

This degree of flexibility makes the GLM “The Perfect Tool, both for users looking for a fine tuning of an acoustically treated room, as well as for those working in more complex acoustic environments, Not Conditioned for Audio Content Creation”, point from the company.

Considering the wide variety of rooms currently used for audio production, GLM 4.1 It specifically improves the calibration of spaces that are acoustically more vivid and helps those working at ultra-close distances (UNF) up to half a meter, which is becoming more and more common as a choice between room and headphone monitoring.

The new functionality of the AutoCal 2 onboarded to GLM 4.1 Leverages detailed information from each monitor in the system, achieving faster and more accurate discrimination between direct and reflected sound.

This speed of calibration is underpinned by an architecture of 64 All-new bits and improved code, that converts GLM 4.1 into a powerful tool for audio engineers on the go and creatives who regularly work in different locations.

Users of the 8331A, 8341to, 8351B & 8361A Series The Ones of three-way coaxial monitors from Genelec, brand that markets Audio-Technica Iberia, will also assess the new possibility of GLM 4.1 to extend the linearity of the phase below the 100 hz.

With Coaxial Monitors, Phase linearity is a valuable feature that improves off-axis performance and also stabilizes the UNF image. GLM 4.1 Fine-tunes the arrival time of different types of monitors in the system.

Other Feature in GLM 4.1 It's him Increased number of filters, This offers greater flexibility and refinement in weighting when using the ability to measure on an unlimited number of positions. In addition, It features a new mode Solo-X for faster control of monitor solo when working with immersive content.

At last, When adding Portuguese display options, Italian and French, GLM users can choose from a total of ten different languages in this version.

"The AutoCal calibration algorithm has always been at the core of GLM," he says Siamäk Naghian, CEO of Genelec-, so I can't think of a better way to celebrate its 15th anniversary than with the launch of AutoCal 2 as part of the new version of GLM 4.1″.

During these fifteen years, “We have gradually seen that intelligent calibration has been universally recognized as the most reliable way to create a true sonic benchmark, And we are proud to continue leading this path.", Concludes.
