Genelec GLM Review (Room EQ & Setup)

[NiagaraPete]

PS Topping D10S is a cheap way to get USB to S/PDIF - works great with Genelecs for a stereo setup.

Ahh, I get it. It's making more sense now. Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, Genelec is doing another press presentation and Q&A for the upcoming 4.2 update and 9301B interface.
Not too much said about the actual updates yet, but I'd guess it's more focused on multi-channel and immersive stuff.

I came here for this. I hope that multisub optimization is finally here. Is that what the “grade” room acoustic report is?

Wow! Genelec GRADE looks amazingly useful

Now included in GLM 4.2 (released today) Genelec GRADE looks impressive. Video here Doug

From Genelec_GRADE_Report_2022-04-29_stereo_with_subwoofer.pdf

AccuSmooth
AccuSmooth is a smoothing-in-frequency method ap- plied by Genelec to provide maximum detail to acoustic mea- surements. This is a variable-width smoothing. The frequency range of the smoothing is 1/12th per octave below 250 Hz, and 1/6th per octave above 250 Hz. The AccuSmoothing applied to frequency response plots increases the visibility of the acousti- cally relevant details in the system frequency responses.

Any info on the 9301B?

Genelec has been putting quite a bit of effort in marketing as of late, but also sharing some more informative content regarding with GLM.
Thought this would be relevant and useful for for those following the thread:

Nothing novel of the sort and it's Aki presenting, more-or-less, the general concepts of how room calibration is done. It's always nice to see more recent "documentation" on these things.

I can report a big improvement in sound quality with GLM4 4.2.0

GLM4 4.2.0 a big improvement in sound quality

I have now tested the new GLM4 firmware and also downloaded new crossover firmware to my Genelec 8340 loudspeakers . The sonical results are better than the last GLM version, after new calibration. If you dont have GLM4 4.2.0 or have not downloaded the new firmware for your SAM monitors , do it...

In what way?

In what way?

The sound is a bit clearer with more spatial details than before .
Very nice

Same for me. I've had GLM updates before and could never hear a difference. With GLM 4.2.0 it obviously suddenly sounded different/better. I have no idea why though when I look at the graphs.
