GLM update imminent?

[RobL]

Just noticed this event notification. In it they state:

Come and join us as we unveil a major new development in our line of Smart Active Monitoring technology at this year’s IBC, one of the world’s most vibrant and comprehensive content and technology events – which is to be held from Friday the 15th to Monday the 18th of September at Amsterdam’s RAI.
Since 2006, Genelec Smart Active (SAM) Monitors and Subwoofers have worked in conjunction with our GLM calibration software to adapt to the acoustics of your room, providing highly optimised performance - even in challenging spaces.
Now, we’re about to elevate the SAM monitoring experience to a whole new level, and we’d be delighted to see you at IBC so you can be among the first to get hands-on with our new technology.

Sounds like GLM is getting some new tech maybe?

Sounds interesting

Is it new hardware or only software? Wouldn't want to be purchasing just before they come with new hw.

I’m guess new software capability…an email I got from Genelec earlier this year that stated:

“The good news is that we’ll continue to make GRADE freely available until this September. At that point, there’ll be an exciting new software update, and any user of Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) models with GLM will then be able to access a total of 12 further GRADE reports free of charge for their monitoring system. However, beyond these 12 free reports, a charge will be incurred for users requiring additional reports – via various pricing and access options for individual, educational and business users.”

"The 8381A powers a lifetime of creativity, so it comes included with access to our unique Genelec SonicAdvisor™ services. So, if you require any support on your monitoring journey with the 8381A – from initial configuration to on-site consultation – we're ready to help."
Does anyone know what Genelec SonicAdvisor is?

Seems like it's only-Finland based personal help with setup, but given the price of 8381 I wouldn't be surprised if they would've send someone for setup anywhere in the world, translated from Finnish

There are good details there:
UNIO combines all the benefits of Genelec Smart Active Monitors (SAM), GLM 5.0 calibration software and Aural ID 2.0 technology to create a seamless integration between professional in-room speaker setups and headphone monitoring. With flexible connectivity options, a reference quality headphone output and tactile hardware control of Smart Active Monitors, GLM and Aural ID, the 9320A becomes a compact center for stationary and mobile professional listening applications.

As a bridge to UNIO, the 9320A offers management of multiple Smart Active Monitoring systems from stereo to immersive audio and beyond. It comes with a factory-calibrated reference microphone, enabling automatic system calibration and control of key GLM software functions .

I was referring to the release date and price. It’s a very interesting upgrade to their GLM kit! Depending on the price, I’ll update my system.

Any news about GLM 5.0? Can't find anything.

Found a Software release note dated Jan 22 while searching for a release date https://assets.ctfassets.net/4zjnzn...LM_5.0.1_Release_note_for_Mac_and_Windows.pdf

Looks like no multi-sub bass management similar to DLBC/ Trinnov/ miniDSP + REW

 

[Exaybachay]

Genelec GLM 5.0.4 can be downloaded now from their website!

 

[HiMu]

3 additional Notch+ filters, nice!
At least in 8340A.

[holdingpants01]

In my case the GLM 5.x didn't add EQ points but made the 4 available notches capable of doing positive gain. So in the case of W371A + 8351B I had 4 bells (and 4 shelves) available after the calibration and still have, but all of them are also positive now up to 6dB

You’d think one time you could be first to announce something. Pearljam already was there. Haha.

Oh that’s nice.
