observations and advice on any acoustical issues , helping users and studio designers alike to fine tune the room ’ s acoustic treatment , adjust monitor and listener positions , and optimise bass management .
The report analyses a wide range of variables including frequency response accuracy and early vs late sound at the listening position , time of flight accuracy , early reflection structure , and a complete room acoustic analysis . These all combine to identify the reasons for any inaccuracy in sound colour , the precision of stereo imaging , the degree of listener envelopment , subwoofer and bass management performance and more .
MIDI Control
By introducing MIDI remote compatibility , GLM 4.2 also creates a faster , smoother monitor control experience with both DAWs and control surfaces , allowing external tactile control of key functions including playback volume level and the activation of mutes , volume presets , bass management and monitor groups .
( 20 inches ). The calibration group ID and subwoofer group ID features improve the way that selected monitors can be calibrated as symmetric groups , and multiple subwoofers can now work together in highly flexible topologies .
Subwoofer configuration is also improved for immersive users via Genelec ’ s new 9301B interface . The 9301B works in conjunction with Genelec 7300 series Smart Active Subwoofers to support up to 16 channels of digital audio in a format that is compatible with the 7300 series ’ single AES / EBU XLR input . A single 9301B therefore enables support for popular 16 channel formats such as 9.1.6 from a single subwoofer , with an additional 9301B providing compatibility with higher channel count formats such as 22.2 and others .
