1 Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for choosing Genelec!

Since 1978, Genelec has been guided by a single idea – to make perfect active monitors that deliver

neutral and accurate sound in every kind of acoustical environment. In Genelec’s quest for this ultimate

goal, our unrivalled commitment to research and development has led us to continuously develop

innovative driver technology, electronic circuitry, enclosure designs and more. Our design philosophy is

based on sustainability and environmental values, where industrial design serves our products'

acoustical performance.

Your Genelec product has been designed and manufactured with care in our factory, in Finland, using

environmentally efficient solutions to give reliable operation over many years.

Please take the time to read this manual. Happy monitoring!

2 UNIO Concept

Genelec UNIO concept unifies the loudspeaker-based and headphone-based methods of monitoring to

one reliable and precise workflow, enabling secure bridging from using loudspeaker-based monitoring to

using headphone-based monitoring.

This manual describes the set-up, configuration, and use of the 9320 device while the GLM User

Manual and Aural ID Operating Manual discuss the configuration of the loudspeaker- and headphone-

based monitoring. Please consult all three manuals as you configure your UNIO system solution.

2.1 Genelec Loudspeaker Manager Software

In the area of loudspeaker-based monitoring, the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software with

its integral AutoCal automatic system calibration and alignment function, creates an easy step to

enhance the precision and accuracy of monitoring, by reducing any uncertainties related to the room

acoustic and loudspeaker installation locations and distances.

2.2 Smart Active Monitor Systems

Genelec Smart Active Loudspeaker (SAM) systems provide a wide selection of output capacity levels,

suiting for all room sizes and applications, to implement loudspeaker-based monitoring layouts. With

GLM software, precise calibration and bass management alignment is automatic and fast.

Understanding the system performance is supported by the extensive GRADE report on room acoustic

performance presenting complete information of the uncalibrated and calibrated system performance.

2.3 Reference Controller

The 9320 is a key device in the UNIO concept thinking, unifying the use of both the loudspeaker based

and headphone based monitoring technologies and enabling equal access to loudspeaker-based and

headphone-based monitoring. 9320 integrated completely with GLM software and Aural ID software, to

empower fully integrated and efficient monitoring setups for all applications.

2.4 Aural ID Technology Integration

In the area of headphone-based monitoring, the Genelec Aural ID technology enables you to access

your personal way of directional hearing in the form of your own Head-Related Transfer Function

(HRTF) and the use of this in the Aural ID Plug-In and Aural ID Stand-Alone processing methods,

including head tracking to maintain the layout of virtual monitoring loudspeakers on your headphones to

remain stationary in space as you move and rotate your head wearing the headphones. The Aural ID

technology provides a reliable and precise methodology to personally calibrate the virtual audio

monitoring setup for your specific headphones and your HRTF information, enabling headphone

monitoring able to access details similar to those available in loudspeaker-based monitoring.

4 General Description

4.1 Reference Controller Benefits

The Genelec Reference Controller is a Smart Monitoring Device designed as a solution to integrating all

key monitoring technologies. Genelec Reference Controller enables precise imaging and neutral sound

reproduction in demanding monitoring applications in all control rooms as well as for headphone

monitoring.

The Reference Controller offers

 Management of Genelec Smart Monitoring System (SAM™) from stereo to immersive

 Personal calibration and use of Genelec Aural ID Plug-In and Stand-Alone from stereo to

immersive

 A physical user interface for the most important Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™)

functions

 Easy management of alternative monitoring systems in one room

 Easy switching between loudspeaker-based monitoring and headphone-based monitoring

 Professional grade headphone monitoring output with personal headphone sound character

calibration

 Measurement-grade calibration microphone is included for acoustical system calibration

 Continuous SPL monitoring

 Logging of daily sound exposure (noise dose) for hearing health preservation, for both

loudspeakers and heapdhones

 Stereo USB audio soundcard output function for monitoring purposes

 Stereo analogue and AES/EBU monitoring outputs and stereo analogue and AES/EBU line level

inputs for monitoring

 Automatic GLM AutoCal™ calibration for SAM monitoring systems (when using GLM software)

 Detailed GRADE acoustic analysis report on SAM monitoring systems (when using GLM

software)

 Access to Genelec Aural ID technology to enable personal HRTF rendering for reliable

immersive monitoring (when using Aural ID 2.0 or later)

4.1 Reference Controller Signal Processing

The system frequency response of 9320 extends from 0.2 Hz (-3 dB) and up to 45 kHz (-3 dB) on all

outputs for complete delivery of the full recorded audio content. The AES digital audio input accepts a

samples rate range 32–192 kHz and word lengths up to 24 bits. The highest USB audio interface sample

rate is 192 kHz.

9320 Reference Controller Operating Manual 10 (52)

The possible signal flows in 9320 enable any audio input to be routed to any audio output. This enables

very versatile patching of signals for monitoring using 9320A, and fluent mixing of analogue and digital

audio pathways in demanding monitoring applications.

9320 supports seamless blending of loudspeaker-based monitoring with headphone-based monitoring,

and integration of personal HRTF processing using Genelec Aural ID technology. 9320 integrates

completely with Genelec GLM software for calibrating and managing Genelec SAM monitoring

loudspeakers. There is complete support for all professional analogue and digital audio monitoring

loudspeakers and headphones.

The maximum signal into the analogue line input can be set such that the total system dynamic range is

optimized. There are two selections, for maximum input levels of +12 dBu (HiGain) and +24 dBu

(LoGain). This feature is configured using the GLM software, as a part of all other 9320 configurations.

In the signal processing diagram the volume control is presented before the signal processing functions

for sake of clarity. In reality, to maximize the dynamic range of the audio signal, volume control happens

as the last signal processing function before the signal is output.

4.2 Intended Ways of Using

9320 is intended to be used with the GLM software and Aural ID software but can be also used in the

Independent mode.

4.2.1 Loudspeaker-Based Monitoring

9320 Reference Controller is a physical user interface for the most important Genelec Loudspeaker

Manager (GLM™) functions, empowering management of Genelec Smart Monitoring System (SAM™)

from stereo to immersive and enabling easy management of alternative monitoring systems.

9320 offers direct connectivity to analogue and digital stereo or 2.1 monitoring of audio signals input

using the USB soundcard function, analogue line input or AES digital audio input. The outputs can be

level aligned for smooth switching across inputs and outputs. Genelec SAM monitoring systems can be

automatically calibrated using the GLM AutoCal™ calibration and the included measurement

microphone. This gives access also to the detailed GRADE acoustic analysis report on SAM monitoring
