producer's position, and the settings stored in System Setup files which may be instantaneously

Who makes the mic?
The 8200A Calibration Microphone has been specifically designed for use with AutoCal™ and is
manufactured and calibrated by Genelec.
Can I use any microphone and pre-amplifier?
The 8200A Calibration Microphone only works with the GLM Network Interface and, conversely, the
GLM Network Interface only works with the 8200A Calibration Microphone. In addition, the microphone
is calibrated when it is manufactured by Genelec, and the data used by AutoCal™ to compensate for the
microphone response. No other microphone will work accurately in this system. This is why the 8200A
Calibration Microphone is included in the GLM.SE™ Loudspeaker Manager software package.
When should I run AutoCal™?
AutoCal™ can be run at any time; however, there is little reason to repeat the process unless:
•
The loudspeakers have been moved
•
The listening position has changed
•
There is a change in the acoustic conditions – equipment moved, acoustic treatments applied,
walls moved, etc.
•
You wish to calibrate for another listening position
•
You wish the verify that the system is still working correctly
•
You wish to show off your new DSP loudspeaker system
I am used to loads of bass in the monitoring so can I have it?
The goal of a monitoring system is to faithfully convert the electrical signal presented to its inputs to sound
pressure at the listening position. It should add nothing to the sound nor take anything away. AutoCal™
equalizes the response of the system to be as flat as possible thereby trying to get as close to the goal
as possible. If the listeners target response is not a flat magnitude response, the Acoustical Settings can
be fully adjusted as required. The net effect on the measured response can be seen in the Interactive
Response Editor.
Problems and Support
Who should I contact if I run into troubles with the setup?
Each country has a distributor and within that distributor is a DSP Product Specialist who has been trained
by Genelec to support the DSP products. Only distributors with an approved DSP Product Specialist are
