As part of Genelec ’ s Smart Active Monitoring family , all models in The Ones range integrate with GLM software , which can calibrate and control entire Genelec smart monitoring systems . GLM can minimize the room ’ s detrimental influence on the sound , enabling the user to produce mixes that translate to other systems , whether the format is stereo , surround , or high-channel-count immersive .
Sennheiser XS Wireless IEM In-Ear Monitoring System
Sennheiser has unveiled the XS Wireless in-ear monitoring system ( or XSW IEM for short ), a complete starter set for personal monitoring designed to be a simple , flexible , and reliable wireless in-ear monitoring . The system enables users to establish an easy-to-manage wireless connection in the professional UHF range .
XSW IEMs uses the UHF band . Aligned and pre-calculated frequency presets get musicians started and if desired , transmission frequencies can also be selected manually . Backlit displays on both the receiver bodypack and the rack-mount transmitter help users see settings even in poor lighting conditions . In addition , the system offers a limiter to protect the user ’ s hearing and a high-frequency boost to increase detail and intelligibility .
For their monitor sound , users can opt for a mono mix ( one mix , and the pan control adjusts the volume for the left and right ear ) or a stereo mix . The latter provides two options : With Focus mode switched off , the pan control will change the left / right volume ; with Focus mode switched on , it will determine which of the two input signals will be heard louder .
