Frequently Asked Questions

The 'RAW' designation means these monitors lack onboard controls; you *need* a Genelec GLM Kit or 9320 controller for volume and EQ adjustments.
They're best suited for mid-field applications, meaning a reasonably sized room—smaller rooms might find the low-end a little lacking, while larger spaces will benefit from their clarity.
The SAM DSP automatically compensates for room acoustics, providing a more accurate and consistent listening experience, but requires initial calibration.
