Mute All And Bypass Bm; Volume Control - Genelec SE Operating Manual

Mute All and Bypass BM

In the upper left corner there are two system level controls. When activated, the background color of these
buttons will change to red.
The "Mute All" button mutes the entire loudspeaker system. Other functions in the GLM.SE™ may
be operated while Mute All is activated. This control has an overriding effect, and any changes made
elsewhere will take effect once the "Mute All" button is deactivated.
The "Bypass BM" button offers control of the subwoofer's bass management system.
• When the "Bypass BM" button is engaged (red background), signals sent to the loudspeakers
are not filtered in the subwoofer bass management section and the low frequency content in the
signals remains intact.
• When the "Bypass BM" button is disengaged (grey background), audio content below the bass
management crossover frequency are fed to the subwoofer and removed from the signals sent
to the loudspeakers.
Note that this is not a "subwoofer mute" command. If there is an LFE channel (low frequency effects), the
subwoofer will reproduce the LFE channel even while the "Bypass BM" is active.

Volume Control

The "Page Up" and "Page Down" keyboard keys and the "Up" and "Down" arrow keys can be used to
increment the volume up or down in 0.5 dB steps. The mouse can also be used to increment the volume
up and down in 10 dB steps by clicking on the volume fader.
A third-party USB physical volume controller knob (e.g. Griffin PowerMate) can be used to adjust control
the volume, bass management bypass and mute functions. If the computer is located away from the
listening position, the USB knob can be placed up to 25 meters (75 ft.) away from the computer using
active buffered USB extension cables, or up to 5 meters (15 ft.) with passive USB extension cables.
