5 Creating a System Layout and Calibrating a System

Before launching the GLM software after installation, stop or mute the audio source, ensure that all
monitors and subwoofers are connected to the GLM network and are powered on.
The steps to create a GLM System Setup with a system layout and calibration are
1. create a SAM monitoring system layout
2. define SAM monitoring group
3. run GLM AutoCal automatic calibration
4. run GLM AutoPhase automatic phase calibration for subwoofers (AutoPhase is only
available when a subwoofer is included in a group)
5. run GLM WooferCal automatic calibration for woofer system (WooferCal is only available
when an adaptive woofer system is included in a group)
For additional groups, repeat steps 2 - 5.

5.1 Creating a SAM Monitor Layout

To create a layout all monitors, subwoofers and woofer systems must be powered and GLM
network connections be made.
A layout defines your monitors and their locations in the room. An example in Figure 14 shows a
stereo system with a subwoofer.
A new system layout is created when the GLM user interface starts the first time. You can always
create a new layout by selecting the 'File | New' menu item.
When the creating a new layout, initially all monitors, subwoofers and woofer systems are stacked
in the 'UnPlaced' cell, on the left side of the page.
Select the large enough layout grid to place all your monitors. Use the 'Layout Style' to change
and select a placement template. If you do not find a template suiting your system, select a grid
size that has place for all monitors, subwoofers and woofer systems.
The 'Reset Layout' button clears the layout grid and sends all the monitors and subwoofers back
to the 'UnPlaced' cell. This allows you to do the placement again from the start.
