Nice.i don’t use Genelec in my “Made in Italy setup”.
I use Made in Italy speaker
Sonus Fabwr Sonetto VIII
This chain looks like analog set up
Well Morten Lindberg said the studio was configured for 7.3.4 multi-channel. There will be some form of high end DAW - possibly Pyramix, controlling some form of audio interface, most likely over LAN - I suspect something like Merging Technologies Horus. I suspect each speaker will have its own AES3 feed, though I think (?) that the audio interface will output a single AES3 signal for each pair of speakers, with the second speaker of the pair being "daisy-chained" from the first speaker (I read that in the GLM manual). The adjustment of the Genelec speakers will almost certainly be fine-tuned by Genelec's GLM control software.in recording studios, how do they get into Genelec, that is, how do they connect all those speakers together?
It's feasible that the Lindberg studio might be using analogue inputs, and if so, that's no great problem because the A/D conversion inside the Genelecs is quite good. But I doubt this - modern audio interfaces expect studios to be using digital AES3, and I suspect the GLM setup is more aimed at digital inputs.if at this point they use analogue and then genelec does the double conversion ...
Either way - don't lose any sleep about whether Lindberg Studios are using analogue or digital inputs to their Genelec monitors - for anyone else the optimal connection to Genelecs is digital AES3. That's the way to go.
As I alluded to in post #38, if the price tag does not bother you, just go ahead and buy one of the RME models I listed. Just be aware that you will not be using the RME as a DAC - you will be using it as a digital interface/hub.i just see but a lot of product have a cheap look, and don’t have the double volume control (knob and remote).
And now that I think about it, there's another product which would do the same job - the MOTU 8D - at one-third of the price -
