Frequently Asked Questions

Genelec's SAM system is quite sophisticated, offering detailed parametric control, but requires the GLM kit to truly unlock its potential. It's a step above basic EQ adjustments.

Primarily designed for stereo monitoring, but the GLM system allows for integration into multi-channel configurations for more complex workflows.
