Genelec Introduces GLM 4.1 with AutoCal 2 Automatic Room Calibration Algorithm

Genelec is marking the 15th anniversary of its highly praised GLM loudspeaker manager software with the introduction of GLM 4.1, which is compatible with all Genelec Smart Active Monitors and Subwoofers. The GLM 4.1 update offers significant new features and improvements, thanks to the debut of the next-generation AutoCal 2 automatic room calibration algorithm, which delivers a more precise frequency response in a fraction of the time than was previously possible.

At the 139th International AES convention in New York, Genelec introduced its flagship 1236 monitoring system and accompanying RAM-XL Remote Amplifier Module, designed to achieve extreme performance requirements in the most demanding recording and mixing environments. This is Genelec’s sixteenth Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) system.

Genelec has updated its GLM calibration solution for SAM studio monitors and subwoofers, including V2 software, and an updated Network Adaptor with microphone and volume control inputs. The solution offers automatic calibration of levels and distance-compensating delays, with the ability to store and recall settings for different listening positions.

The new Genelec 1237A and 1238A Smart Active Monitors (SAM) are tri-amplified systems featuring AutoCal and GLM technologies and powerful Class D amplification. The 1237A and 1238A monitors feature on-board intelligence to automatically tune the frequency response to compensate for acoustical room influences, as well as achieving perfect alignment of levels and distance compensation at the listening position.
